Abstract

See full text

A CATV terminal, which has a timer function capable of supplying power to the CATV terminal at a user-programmed time, tuning-in to a user-programmed channel, and stopping the supply of power at a user-programmed time, is used to control an external apparatus such as a VCR or a TV receiver. Remote-control codes, corresponding to functions of the external apparatus, are stored in the CATV terminal ROM. These codes are read out of the ROM, decoded, and sent to the remote-control signal receiving element of the external apparatus. Therefore, the external apparatus is controlled by the CATV terminal using the remote-control codes of the external apparatus.
