Abstract (en)

An in-vehicle device (10) includes a first tuner (110A), a second tuner (110B), a signal processing unit (120), and a control unit (180) to control each unit. When switching from a currently received program to the same program broadcast by other broadcast station is switched, the control unit (180) determines whether the program of other broadcast station is delayed for the currently received program. When it is determined that the program of other broadcast station is delayed for the currently received program, the control unit sets a reproduction speed of the currently received program, according to content of the program, such that the currently received program is synchronized with the program of other broadcast station. The signal processing unit (120) outputs an audio signal at the set reproduction speed and the currently received program is switched to the program of other broadcast station after the programs are synchronized.
