Abstract: A CPU in a home theater device transmits current sound volume control status data to a digital television receiving device when a theater mode is set. A CPU in the digital television receiving device updates, when the sound volume control status data has been received from the home theater device, sound volume control status data stored in a memory with the received sound volume control status data. A CPU in the digital television receiving device determines sound volume setting value data after an operation based on sound volume operation information fed from a remote control device and the sound volume control status data stored in the memory, and transmits a CEC command including the determined sound volume setting value data to the home theater device while displaying a ratio of the current sound volume to a maximum value in a sound volume adjustable range of the home theater device on a display.
