Abstract
Provided is a remote controller in which a ring-shaped operating part is structured rotatable and capable of making rocking motion by pressing, a first remote-control signal responsive to rotation of the operating part allows sound volume adjustment, a second remote-control signal responsive to a switch signal supplied by pressing the operating part changes the function to channel selection, a third remote-control signal responsive to rotation of the operating part within a predetermined period of time allows channel selection. This structure can reduce the number of separate operating keys and allows a simple successive operation of the operating part to control a receiver.
