Radio waves transmitted from the antenna of a broadcasting station are
received by the antenna of a television receiver. The television receiver
extracts an EPG from the received radio waves and transmits it to a remote
controller via an infrared transmission/reception section. The remote
controller displays the received EPG on a LCD and is then rendered in a
state of waiting for selection of a program. If some program is selected
and then a reserve button is manipulated, the remote controller transmits
a control command for a recording reservation to a video tape recorder.
The video tape recorder receives the control command with an infrared
transmission/reception section, whereby the recording reservation of the
designated program is set.
