ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CONTROL SIGNAL TRANSMISSION METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

The objective is to make it possible to control a CEC-incompatible device connected to a TV receiver with the TV receiver remote control transmitter. The user sets a physical address [2000] in a photo player (370B), whereby said photo player (370B) takes the place of the device (recording device) to be controlled. Photo player (370B) determines a logical address {1} as the recording device of the CEC-controlled device along with said setting. When the user uses a remote control transmitter (277) to operate a disc recorder (210B), which is a CEC-incompatible device, TV receiving part (250B) generates a CEC control command targeted for the disc recorder (210B). The photo player (370B) detects said CEC control command, converts it into an IR remote control command and transmits it from the IR transmitting part (384) to the disc recorder (210B).
