1. An entertainment system, comprising:
- a controlling device; and
an audio/visual (“
A/V”
) device adapted to receive a media from an Internet server and to route the received media to a display device for rendering;
wherein the A/V device comprises a processing device and a non-transient, computer readable media having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the processing device, cause the A/V device to determine if a new display device has been coupled to an A/V output port of the A/V device and, when it is determined that a new display device has been coupled to the A/V output port of the A/V device, to use device identifier data received from the new display device to cause the controlling device to be configured to issue a volume control command to the new display device, via use of a command communication protocol recognizable by the new display device, in response to an activation of a volume control input element of the controlling device with the controlling device being otherwise configured to issue a transport control command communication to the A/V device, via use of a command communication protocol recognizable by the A/V device, in response to an activation of a media playback control input element of the controlling device with the transport control command communication being used by the A/V device to control a rendering of media that is being received by the AV device and that is being routed to the new display device.
