Abstract

See full text

An object of this invention is to control operations of electric apparatuses other than a television receiver successively with an operation of the television receiver. The television receiver 1 includes an other-apparatus-code storage section 15, a successive control section 12, an other-apparatus-code output processing section 17, a transmission section 3, and a successive operation definition unit for making a specific operation of the television receiver 1 and specific operations of the other electric apparatuses correspond to one another in advance. The other-apparatus-code storage section 15 stores control codes for the other electric apparatuses. Successively with the specific operation of the television receiver 1, the control codes for the other electric apparatuses made to correspond to the specific operation of the television receiver 1 by the successive operation definition means are read from the other-apparatus-code storage section 15 into the successive control section 12, and the control codes are output to the other-apparatus-code output processing section 17. The other-apparatus-code output processing section 17 carries out a processing for transmitting by radio the control codes input from the successive control section 12, and causes the transmission section 3 to transmit the processed control codes to the other electric apparatuses.
