Abstract
An infrared-receiving device includes an infrared-receiving module, an expanded module, and a microprocessor control unit (MCU). The MCU receives a data pulse signal transmitted from the infrared-receiving module. The expanded module is electrically connected to the infrared-receiving module and the MCU to receive a substitution data pulse signal outputted from an external expanded device. The expanded module sends the substitution data pulse signal to the MCU to send a control command to an electronic appliance electrically connected to the MCU.
