ABSTRACT:
A connector that has three input/output ports and that can connect any two of the ports is used with a cable box that selects a channel from a CATV signal for a VCR and a TV, which also have respective connecting portions for inputting and outputting an audio signal, a video signal, and control data. The connecting portions of the video equipment are connected by a cable and a connector, so that the cable box, the VCR, and the TV are linked to each other. Each of the cable box, the VCR, and the TV can be set to a category such as "master", to control equipment, or "slave", to be under control, and also can be set to determine the order of priority. The "master" equipment with the highest priority determines the addresses for each unit of the equipment based on such categories. The "master" equipment can control each unit of the equipment using the addresses.
