Controlling apparatus for remote control operation

摘要

A remote control apparatus for use with an equipment which includes a master apparatus and a slave apparatus remotely located from the master apparatus. The master apparatus transmits a control signal to the slave apparatus so as to remotely control the slave apparatus. The master apparatus has a light-transmitting section therein which projects outwardly of the master apparatus. The light-transmitting section transmits a light signal representing a control signal generated in the master apparatus. The slave apparatus has a light-receiving section therein which receives the light signal. The light-transmitting section may be detachably mounted to the master apparatus. The light-transmitting section may be adapted to rotate relative to the master apparatus after the light-transmitting section has been mounted to the master apparatus. The light-transmitting section may include a plurality of light-emitting elements so that light is emitted over a wide area.
