CONSTITUTION:When an electric power source is turned on, the operating unit 1 conducts serial polling for each units and recongnizes the existence of the connection of units 3-5. At the same time, the unit 5 checks the existence of the connection of terminal sources 5a-5n and stores the results. When the information on the terminal sources of the audio unit 5 is displayed on the display of the operating unit 2, the operating unit 1 requests the audio unit 5 to send the existance of the connection of the unit 5 itself and the status on the connection of the terminal sources 5a to 5n. After receiving the status information from the audio unit 5, the operating unit 1 sends the status to indicate the existance of the connection of the terminal sources 5a-5n to the display unit 2. |
