<p>A method is described for a home entertainment system (500) to control the playout of audio-visual (AV) content (506) from a source component (502) (such as a VCR or DVD player), depending on a signal (508) which indicates whether the AV content is being consumed by a destination component (504) (such as a TV or audio amplifier). The method operates without requiring any dedicated user interaction. Optionally, an apparatus (510) may interpret the signal (508) and in response generate commands (512) suitable for controlling the source component, for example by emulating infrared remote control commands. Preferably, the signal (502) and commands (512) are implemented using the Project50 protocol.</p> |
