A remote controller(2) is provided with a plurality of character buttons. A character code table (25) stores character codes of characters in a two-dimensional matrix by assigning the button numbers to a vertical axis and the number of depressions of buttons to a horizontal axis. In accordance with the number of depressions of each character button , which is determined by an input section(22), a control section (21) acquires a corresponding character code from the character code table (25) and causes a display section (23) to display the associated character. In addition, the control section(21) , when informed by the input section (22) of the depression of a transmission button, delivers a character code of the displayed character to an infrared signal transmission section (24) and instructs the infrared signal transmission section (24) to send to a TV apparatus (1) an infrared signal representative of the character code. <IMAGE> |
