          Appeal No. 2005-1157                                                        
          Application No. 09/829,249                                                  

          and need for adding an audio output to the graphics output in               
          Oberteuffer.  As summarized by appellants (reply brief, page 1),            
          “[t]he point remains that while one reference teaches two input             
          modes and the other reference teaches two output modes, neither             
          one managed to recognize its reciprocal, and in fact neither one            
          provides any motivation for its reciprocal.”                                
               In summary, the obviousness rejection of claims 1 through              
          5 and 7 through 20 is reversed.
