Abstract
A video apparatus comprises both a video cassette recorder for recording or reproducing a video signal from an external source and a game signal processing part for executing a game program. A remote-controlled transmitter transmits a signal to a remote-controlled receiver. A decoder decodes the signal and a microprocessor selects either game mode or VCR mode which is output via a RF modulator to a video screen. At least one encoder and processor is provided which enables the system to process game signals and output the video signal in game mode to the video screen.
