Abstract: A photo-receiving unit of an entertainment device stores commands sent from a remote controller into a buffer memory. A main unit of the entertainment device incorporates the stored commands at regular intervals (such as once in every vertical synchronization period) and the individual portions of the main unit, or the peripheral devices connected to the main device, are controlled based on the incorporated command. As a result, the user can operate the main unit or peripheral devices with a remote controller not originally meant for the entertainment device.

Abstract: First communication data is in a first transmission protocol and serial in first communication cycles. The first communication data is accumulated and then transmitted at second communication cycles. The first communication data is then converted into second communication data in a second transmission protocol. The first communication data is received in accordance with a first clock signal supplied together with the first communication data. The accumulated first communication data is transmitted in accordance with a second clock signal. The difference in transmission protocol and transmission timings between the first and second communication data is thereby eliminated.
