Then, the DTMF signal is decoded by the DTMF receiver 12 of the telephone device 1 and then a G code is sent out as a DTMF sound equivalent to the G code from a speaker 14. In a VTR 30 side, this DTMF sound is detected by a microphone 41, and a designated channel, a broadcast start time and a broadcast end time are obtained by decoding the detected signal thereof in a G code.
