Zusammenfassung:	A VIDEO PLAYBACK APPARATUS (19) RECEIVES A CONTROL SIGNAL FROM A REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE (20) HAVING A MULTIPURPOSE KEY AND ASSIGNS ALTERNATIVE FUNCTIONS TO THE RECEIVED SIGNAL DEPENDING ON THE DURATION OF TIME THE CONTROL SIGNAL IS RECEIVED. FOR EXAMPLE, THE REMOTE MAY HAVE A COMBINATION SKIP-FORWARD MULTIPURPOSE KEY WHICH WHEN PRESSED FOR LESS THAN A PREDETERMINED PERIOD SUCH AS ONE SECOND, CAUSES THE VIDEO PLAYBACK APPARATUS TO INVOKE ITS SKIP MODE, AND WHEN PRESSED FOR MORE THAN THE PREDETERMINED PERIOD CAUSES THE VIDEO PLAYBACK APPARATUS TO INVOKE ITS FORWARD, FAST FORWARD, OR SUPER FAST FORWARD MODE, DEPENDING ON THE DURATION OF TIME THE KEY IS PRESSED BEYOND INVOCATION OF THE FORWARD MODE.
