According to a user's command, the main body controller 16 may change the currently displayed group of UI items 140 to display another group of UI items 140 corresponding to contents belonging to a page other than the current page or contents belonging to a category other than the current category. A user's command may be input by the key input unit 22 or the touch input unit 21 corresponding to the change of the page or category (hereinafter, to be also called “movement”). For example, the key input unit 22 includes four buttons arranged up and down and left and right, and a movement between categories may occur when the buttons arranged up and down are pushed, and a movement between pages may occur when the buttons arranged left and right are pushed. To determine content to be newly displayed when there is a movement between the pages or categories or both pages and categories, the display apparatus 1 has the order of the categories and order of contents belonging to one category set in advance according to a predetermined standard. Accordingly, the main body controller 16 determines a content to be displayed by referring to the order and displays one of the groups of UI items 140 corresponding to the determined content upon receiving a user's command for the movement between the pages or categories or both. FIG. 6 illustrates detailed movements of pages and categories. The group of UI items 140 expressed in a solid line in FIG. 6 refers to a currently displayed page and category, and the groups of UI items 140 expressed in dotted lines refer to a previous or next page or previous or next category. The reference numerals written in circles in the groups of UI items 140 refer to the arranging order of the pages or categories. For example, the movement between pages occurs in the arranging order of 21, 22 and 23, and the movement between the categories occurs in the arranging order of 12, 22 and 32. As shown in FIG. 5, the UI menu 131 may further include information 139a and 139b which inform in advance next or previous categories.
