Abstract

An entertainment system (10) has an entertainment apparatus (12) for executing various programs, a manual controller (16) for entering manual control requests from a user into the entertainment apparatus (12), a monitor (18) for displaying images outputted from the entertainment apparatus (12), and a speaker (92) for outputting sounds outputted from the entertainment apparatus (12). The manual controller (16) has motors (130L, 130R) for imparting vibrations to the user in response to an external request. The entertainment system (10) also has a vibration/sound setting unit (226) for setting up a length of a bar (208A, 208B) displayed on the monitor (18) according to a control input from the manual controller (16), setting up a magnitude of vibrations to be generated by the motors (130L, 130R) depending on the length of the bar (208A, 208B), and setting up a type and/or a pitch of sound to be outputted to the speaker (92) depending on the length of the bar (208A, 208B).
