Abstract
When a signal path in a signal outputting device is changed, the signal outputting device indicates signal path change information representing the change in the signal path to a signal inputting device. Based on the signal path change information, the signal inputting device adaptively changes a signal path between the signal outputting device and the signal inputting device. The signal inputting device can know the signal path in the signal outputting device easier than heretofore, and can simply change the signal path between the signal outputting device and the signal inputting device.
