摘要

A peripheral equipment information display with increased scalability by enabling the customisation and display of equipment data such as status information for each piece of peripheral equipment. The peripheral information display system is configured from a TV (20) and a recorder (10) connected with a HDMI connection. The TV (20) is equipped with a storage unit (29) that stores display area information comprising area identification information used to identify display areas for displaying the equipment data of the recorder (10). The recorder (10) is equipped with a LANI/F18 which transmits the equipment data of the recorder (10) in association with the area identification information to the TV (20) in response to the display area information acquired from the TV (20). The TV (20) displays the equipment data transmitted from the recorder (10) in the display area identified using the area identification information.
