ABSTRACT:
When an electronic apparatus is forcibly put into an inoperable state by theft, the inoperable state is canceled using a code from a dealer, without carrying the electronic apparatus into the dealer. After electric power is supplied again, a CD reproduction apparatus is used to playback a CD, and TOC information is used as a code C1. When code C1is identical to an authorized code A21,the electronic apparatus is made operable. To cancel the inoperable state after the number of inconsistencies becomes 10 or more, a code A22is notified to the dealer. The dealer carries out a calculation using the code A22,and a result B2of the calculation is notified to the user. An individual code calculating means carries out the same calculation as the above-mentioned calculation and obtains calculation result B3.When calculation result B2coincides with calculation result B3,the inoperable state is canceled.
