Abstract

A content-transmitting apparatus transmits reproduction control information including order of reproduction, reproducing section, and reproduction date information of contents which transmitted in the past. In a content-receiving apparatus, when a transmission destination chooses a specific television channel using a receiving side input unit, a receiving side control unit reproduces contents according to the reproduction control information. When the transmission source controls contents including the contents which transmitted in the past to the transmission destination, the transmission destination can view and listen to the contents that the transmission source intends to reproduce, with easiness just like changing television channels.
