<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily switch connection from a plurality of connected external apparatuses to a single desired external apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The connection switching apparatus is provided with: a plurality of input terminals 41; a connection switching part 12 for switching the connection of any one of the input terminals 41 to a signal processing part 13; a main control part 17 for controlling the connection switching part 12; a storage part 16 for storing identification information for identifying an AV apparatus 4, instruction information for the AV apparatus 4, and associating data Dp for associating the terminal numbers of the input terminals with each other; and a receiving part 15 capable of receiving an operating signal So2 outputted from a remote controller 5 of the AV apparatus 4. When the operating signal So2 is received by the receiving part 15, the main control part 17 specifies a terminal number associated with the identification information and the instruction information contained in the operating signal So2 on the basis of the associating data Dp and allows the connection switching part 12 to switch the connection of an input terminal 41 having the terminal number to the signal processing part 13. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
