Abstract
PlayersA andB are each capable of outputting data read from a disc such as a CD or an SACD in any of signal formats including an IEEE 1394 format, an analog format and a digital format. An AV amplifierincludes a first output system for selectively outputting, to a speaker systemA, one of a plurality of audio signals of different signal formats including the IEEE 1394 format, the analog format and the digital format, and a second output system for selectively outputting, to a speaker systemB, one of a plurality of audio signals of different signal formats including the analog format and the digital format. If the playerA is selected as the input for the first output system, the AV amplifiersends a command to the playerA instructing the playerA to output an audio signal in the IEEE 1394 format, automatically setting the output signal format of the playerA to be a format that can be reproduced through the first output system.
