PURPOSE:To make the device small and to reduce the power consumption by detecting a resistance of a resistor representing the length of the cable and adjusting automatically the equalizing characteristic of each reception circuit so as to reduce the scale of the hardware of an equalization circuit. CONSTITUTION:A transmission signal 101 of a transmitter 11 is sent to a receiver 13 through an interface cable 12, a transmission distortion in the interface cable 12 is compensated by an equalizer 3 and a compensated signal is inputted to a reception circuit of the device as a reception signal 102. A resistor 1 is built in the inside of a connector 5 of the interface cable 12. The resistance of the resistor 1 is selected to be a resistance equivalent to a length of a cable 8 in advance. A resistance detection circuit 2 of the receiver 13 detects the resistance of the resistor 1 and outputs a control signal. The equalization circuit 3 receives the control signal to change automatically the equalizing characteristic according to the control signal. The resistor 1, the resistance detection circuit 2 and the equalizer 3 form the transmission characteristic compensation circuit of the interface cable 12.
