Command signals from various operation keys 5a, 5b are supplied to the microcomputer 4, a command signal is supplied to a transmission part 6 consisting of an infrared diode or the like based upon the supplied command signal and infrared rays corresponding to the command signal are generated. A touch sensor 7 is formed over the whole area of the outer frame of the commander. When the sensor 7 is touched with a user's hand, the sensor 7 generates a detection signal and a menu screen is displayed on an image screen.
