Abstract
A remote control system invention converts an infrared ray signal transmitted from an exclusive remote control transmitter of an electronic apparatus into a transmissive data by a signal analyzing/writing device, and writes the transmissive data in a nonvolatile memory, which is subsequently mounted on other remote control transmitter. A microcomputer in the remote control transmitter reads the transmissive data in the nonvolatile memory, and remote controls the electronic apparatus. Adoption of the present system enables a single unit of the remote control transmitter to remote control a plurality of electronic apparatuses by storing in the remote control transmitter transmissive data of different formats for the plurality of electronic apparatuses.
