AV APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. An audio-visual (AV) apparatus comprising:
- an infrared ray receiver configured to receive a command using infrared rays;
a radio wave receiver configured to receive the command using radio waves;
a controller configured to accept the command received by at least one of the infrared ray receiver and the radio wave receiver and to control a plurality of modules to a state of corresponding to the command; and
a reception controller configured to control the controller to accept the command received by the infrared ray receiver when the command is received by one of the infrared ray receiver and the radio wave receiver within a previously set predetermined time from the reception of the command by the other of the infrared ray receiver and the radio wave receiver while the AV apparatus is set in an infrared and radio combination mode in which the command received by the infrared ray receiver and the command received by the radio wave receiver are both accepted.
