Abstract
Connection patterns as many as possible can be managed by less standard patterns. Connected states of a VTR (30), a VTR (40), a VTR (50), a VTR (60), an MDP (70), a tuner (80) and an AV center (100) composing a standard pattern are memorized in advance. A flag (N) representing the non-use is set to an AV equipment (e.g., VTR (60)) that is not used in actual practice of the AV equipments constructing the standard pattern. Therefore, a system in which a part of the AV equipments constructing the standard pattern is omitted can be managed similarly to the system of the standard pattern.
