Abstract

When some failure has been detected as a result of self diagnosis in first and second sound playback units (20, 30), a nonvolatile memory (48) in a control unit (40) stores device, product, and error codes, and a predetermined pattern for informing that failure is displayed on a panel display device (12). The stored codes can be displayed on the panel display device (12) in response to predetermined first operation, and when input operation for operating the disabled unit is made at a control panel (10), the CPU 46 re-displays the predetermined pattern for informing the failure on the display device with reference to the stored codes.
