ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling a plurality of devices including a master device having AV terminals and slave devices connected to the master device through a communication control line, with the use of a single remote control. The method includes detecting the slave devices, and allocating a device ID to each of the slave devices, identifying to which slave device each AV terminal is connected, by controlling the detected slave devices to be powered on or off through the communication control line with the use of the device ID, receiving a predetermined key code from a user's remote control, and determining which device among the master device and the slave devices to control and determining an operation of the device, by referring to an item of mapping table corresponding to the key code, and controlling operation of the device through the communication control line with the use of the device ID.
