Abstract
A transmission apparatus is capable of accessing a register of a cable satisfactorily. An inquiry about the presence or absence of a register in a cable connected between the transmission apparatus and a reception apparatus is performed. In response to the inquiry, information indicating the presence or absence of the register is received from the cable. When the information indicates the presence of the register, the register of the cable is accessed so that acquisition of storage data or writing in the storage data is performed.
