Abstract:
1. A media device comprising: a remote controller producing a remote code for controlling for its own use, a remote code for controlling peripheral media devices, and selection signals of external input sources in accordance with a user's selection; a communication port to be connected with the peripheral media devices through a communication line; a receiver part receiving one of the remote codes from the remote controller; a media device controller that verifies that a present external input source corresponds to one of the peripheral media devices and that produces a code conversion control signal in a form fit for the verified peripheral media device if the peripheral media device corresponding to the present external input mode is connected to the communication port and an output control signal for outputting the converted code to the verified peripheral media device; a media device memory storing code conversion data; and a media device code converter converting a remote code into a code corresponding to the verified peripheral media device using the code conversion data stored in the memory by responding to the code conversion control signal, the code converter outputting the converted code to the verified peripheral media device through the communication port by responding to the output control signal to operate the verifier peripheral media device in accordance with a command corresponding to the converted code.
