Abstract
[Object] To make it possible to control a CEC-non-compliant device connected to a television receiver by using a remote control sender of the television receiver. [Solving Means] The fact that a physical address [2000] is a device (Recording Device) that a photo playerB controls in place of the physical address [2000] is set by a user in the photo playerB. In accordance with this setting, the photo playerB decides a logical address {1} as a CEC-controlled Recording Device. When the user operates a disc recorderB that is a CEC-non-compliant device by using a remote control sender, a television receiverB generates a CEC control command addressed to the disc recorderB. The photo playerB detects the CEC control command, converts the CEC control command into an infrared remote control command, and sends the infrared remote control command from an infrared sending unitto the disc recorderB.
