Remote control and status display of an Audio/Video function section in a wireless LAN

摘要

An AV function section (14) is provided with a standby mode serving to reduce power consumption during standby. An embedded controller (15) provides such control as shifts or recovers the AV function section (4) to or from the standby mode. Further, a network processor (17) accepts, via a network such as a wireless LAN, a command causing the AV function section (14) to shift to or recover from the standby mode. On the basis of this command, the network processor (17) instructs, via a control signal line, the embedded controller (15) to shift or recover the AV function section (14) to or from the standby mode.
