CONTROL SIGNAL RECEIVING APPARATUS

摘要

When detecting an HPD (104b) indicating that the transmission between a control signal data receiving apparatus (102) and a control signal receiving apparatus (101) becomes possible, a command determining part (115) masks a first received command (105a) received directly from a remote control (103), and renders valid a second received command (112a) received via a CEC line (104a). According to the arrangement described above, in the control signal receiving apparatus that can receive, via the data receiving apparatus connected thereto, a control signal generated by a remote control unit that belongs to the control signal receiving apparatus, a remote control operation can be correctly performed without affecting any devices.
