Abstract
A remote control device includes a display unit, physical keys, and a control unit to control operations of the display unit and execute various processes in accordance with commands input via the physical keys. The display unit includes a setting item display area to display setting item information pertaining to configurable setting items, and a set state display area to display information pertaining to set state of the setting items. The physical keys include at least one function key and a separate set state change key. The control unit successively selects the setting items, causes the display unit to display the setting item information, and performs an increase or decrease of a numerical value, a stage change, or a mode change relating to the setting item. The number of function keys is smaller than the number of the setting item information displayed.
