Remote-controllable media device and method of operating propheral devices using the same
First Claim
1. A media device comprising:
- a remote controller producing a remote code for controlling for its own use, a remote code for controlling peripheral media devices, and selection signals of external input sources in accordance with a user'"'"'s selection;
a communication port to be connected with the peripheral media devices through a communication line;
a receiver part receiving one of the remote codes from the remote controller;
a controller verifying that a present external input source corresponds to which one of the peripheral media devices and produces a code conversion control signal and an output control signal;
a memory storing code conversion data; and
a code converter converting the code into a code corresponding to the verified peripheral media device using the code conversion data stored in the memory by responding to the code conversion control signal, the code converter outputting the converted code to the verified peripheral media device through the communication port by responding to the output control signal.

Abstract
Disclosed is a remote-controllable media device and method of operating peripheral devices using the same including the steps of monitoring whether a remote code is received from a remote controller, verifying that a present external input source mode corresponds to which one of the peripheral media devices when the remote code is received from the remote controller, and converting the received code into a code corresponding to the present external input source mode when the peripheral media device corresponding to the present external input source mode is connected to the media device and then transferring the converted code to the peripheral media device corresponding to the present external input source mode.
