Abstract

An IDE interface unit (11) reads out a value of an ATA register in a DVD drive (1) repeatedly and sends the value to a host network interface device (4a). The host network interface device (4a) retains the register value in a shadow register (23). An IDE interface unit (21) sends a value of the shadow register (23) to a DVD decoder (2) (host) upon receiving a reading out signal of a register value in the ATA register (31). Thus, since a register reading out controlling signal is not sent via networks, there is no transmission delay that effects to the network.
