ABSTRACT:
An in-car video system includes a first display device installed in a front part of a car and having a first light-sensitive element to receive remote control light output from a remote control transmitter, a second display device installed in a location posterior to the first display device and having a second light-sensitive element to receive remote control light output from a remote control transmitter, and a control section for controlling the display on the first and second display devices according to output signals of the first and second light-sensitive elements. The control section includes a display operation detecting unit operable to detect an operating state of the first or second display device according to an output of the first and second light-sensitive elements, and a moving/stationary state detecting unit operable to detect whether the car is moving or stationary. When the moving/stationary state detecting unit detects that the car is moving and the display operation state detecting unit detects the operating state of the first display device, control is effected to restrict the display on the first display device so as not to induce the driver of the car to gaze at the first display device.
