Claim:
An image output apparatus including a second receiving unit, connectable to a display apparatus including a first receiving unit, the image output apparatus comprising: an output unit configured to output, to the display apparatus, image data recoded in an internal recording unit or an external recording medium and image data generated from the broadcast signal received by the second receiving unit of the image output apparatus; a determination unit configured to determine whether the display apparatus displays an image based on image data output from the image output apparatus; and a control unit configured to execute control for shifting the image output apparatus to a first low-power consumption state to reduce power consumption amount, wherein, in a case where the determination unit determines that the display apparatus displays the image based on the image data output from the image output apparatus, and if the display apparatus displays the image based on the image data generated from the broadcast signal being received by the second receiving unit, the control unit notifies the display apparatus of a channel of the broadcast signal being received by the second receiving unit, and instructs the display apparatus to change from displaying of the image based on the image data output from the image output apparatus to displaying of an image based on image data generated from the broadcast signal, being received by the first receiving unit, of the channel notified by the image output apparatus, and wherein, in a case where the unit determines that displaying on the display apparatus is changed to the displaying of the image based on the image data generated from the broadcast signal, being received by the first receiving unit, of the channel notified by the image output apparatus, the control unit executes control for shifting the image output apparatus to the first low-power consumption state.
