Abstract
A controller 112 checks and determines whether or not an electronic apparatus 11 is electrically connected. When a TV signal processor 106 is not connected to another apparatus, i.e., the electronic apparatus 11, a signal processing circuit 113 performs normal signal processing. When the TV signal processor 106 is connected to another apparatus, i.e., the electronic apparatus 11, the TV signal processor 106 cooperates with the compliant electronic apparatus as if they were a single apparatus and performs optimal processing of an input signal. In an ID table stored in the controller 112, processing information concerning processing tasks to be shared with the compliant electronic apparatus is associated with the function ID of the compliant electronic apparatus.
