Abstract:
A display comprising:a photoreceptor device that receives remote control signals from first and second remote controllers and converts them into electric signals; a control circuit that executes commands encoded in the remote control signals; a switch connected to the control circuit that provides a first control mode in which control functions are performed in response to remote control signals from the first remote controller and a second control mode in which control functions are performed in response to remote control signals from the second remote controller; and when the switch is in a first position determines which of the first and second remote controllers has transmitted remote control signals, and initializes in either the first or second control mode, according to the determination, and wherein when the switch selects the first control mode or the second control mode, information for identifying the remote controller corresponding to the selected mode is displayed, wherein the control circuit includes first and second microcomputers, the first microcomputer judging which of the remote controllers has transmitted and initializing itself and the second microcomputer in the appropriate control mode.
