Abstract

PURPOSE:To intermittently perform remote control signal reception and reduce the power consumption of the remote control signal reception system by controlling a power source means by a power source control means unless a remote control signal is inputted to the remote control signal reception system. CONSTITUTION:A sent signal is sent from a remote control signal transmitting circuit 1 with infrared rays, which are photodetected by a remote control receiving circuit 2 and converted into an electric signal. This electric signal is inputted to a remote control signal discriminating circuit 3, which discriminates between the remote control signal and other signals to select only the remote control signal. The selected remote control signal is decoded by a decoding circuit 4 and held by a latch circuit 5. When the remote control signal discriminating circuit 3 does not recognizes the input of the remote control signal, a power source control circuit 6 controls a power source circuit 7 to places the remote control signal receiving circuit 2 in intermittent operation. Thus, the remote control reception system operates intermittently unless the remote control signal is inputted to reduce the power consumption.
