A telephone communications apparatus for mixing a music signal with a
speech signal, in which the gamut of music that may be enjoyed, such as a
calling/called party, or the sorts of telephone terminal, can be expanded
as compared to a conventional system. The apparatus includes a
reproducing circuit for reading out a music signal recorded in a
recording medium loaded thereon from the recording medium to reproduce
the read out music signal, a setting circuit responsive to an operation
by an operator for setting whether or not the music signal is to be mixed
with a transmitting signal and/or a received signal, a mixer for mixing
the music signal reproduced with the transmitting signal and/or the
received signal, and a control circuit operative in response to the
setting circuit for determining whether or not to enable the mixer to
mix.
