An object of this invention is to control operations of electric
apparatuses other than a television receiver successively with an
operation of the television receiver. The television receiver 1 includes
an other-apparatus-code storage section 15, a successive control section
12, an other-apparatus-code output processing section 17, a transmission
section 3, and a successive operation definition unit for making a
specific operation of the television receiver 1 and specific operations
of the other electric apparatuses correspond to one another in advance.
The other-apparatus-code storage section 15 stores control codes for the
other electric apparatuses. Successively with the specific operation of
the television receiver 1, the control codes for the other electric
apparatuses made to correspond to the specific operation of the
television receiver 1 by the successive operation definition means are
read from the other-apparatus-code storage section 15 into the successive
control section 12, and the control codes are output to the
other-apparatus-code output processing section 17. The
other-apparatus-code output processing section 17 carries out a
processing for transmitting by radio the control codes input from the
successive control section 12, and causes the transmission section 3 to
transmit the processed control codes to the other electric apparatuses.
