Abstract
In an AV (audio and video) system, it is possible to suppress such a feeling of a user that he has to wait for an actual operation of an AV appliance after an operation instruction has been inputted until the AV appliance is actually operated. Upon receipt of a recording operation instruction of a VTR 3 issued from a remote controller 2, a CPU 12 first turns ON a power supply of the VTR 3. Thereafter, such a message indicating that the inputted instruction corresponds to the recording operation of the VTR 3 is displayed on a CRT 17. When a user inputs an instruction for confirming this message via a remote controller 2, the CPU 12 instructs the VTR 3 to start its recording operation.
