Abstract
To easily ensure that appropriate recognition information is used. A remote control system () includes a DVR () and a remote control () that controls the DVR () via a wireless communication path. The remote control () which is one apparatus out of the DVR () and the remote control () obtains, by a wireless reception unit (), recognition information used by the apparatus to uniquely recognize the other apparatus, via another communication path (a communication path through a TV ()) different from the wireless communication path connecting the apparatus and the other apparatus. When a connected apparatus recognized via the wireless communication path is identified by the obtained recognition information, the remote control () sets, by a control circuit (), the connected apparatus as the DVR () which is the other apparatus to enable communication with the connected apparatus.
