Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a receptacle having a plurality of pins for connecting a plug of a transmission cable; and transmission cable determination circuitry configured to apply a predetermined voltage to a predetermined plurality of pins of the plurality of pins of said receptacle and to determine a category of the transmission cable, wherein the transmission cable determination circuitry determines the category of the transmission cable based on a detection performed by the transmission cable determination circuitry, the detection performed by the transmission cable determination circuitry being performed after the application of the predetermined voltage to the predetermined plurality of pins of the plurality of pins of said receptacle, and wherein the transmission cable determination circuitry applies the predetermined voltage to the predetermined plurality of pins of the plurality of pins of said receptacle in order to determine the category of the transmission cable.
