An electronic equipment control system including an electronic equipment body and a remote control terminal for providing an operation instruction to the electronic equipment body. The electronic equipment body has a receiving part for receiving a remote control signal, a movable operation unit for operating the electronic equipment body, a fixed operation unit, and an arranging part for moving the movable operation unit to bring the fixed operation unit into a visually identifiable state. The remote control terminal has input keys for providing the operation instruction, and a sending part for sending operation information input by the input keys.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic equipment control system and a control method thereof capable of operating electronic equipment by remote control without caring a hidden operation unit.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic equipment control system comprising: an electronic equipment body; and a remote control terminal for providing an operation instruction to the electronic equipment body, wherein the electronic equipment body comprises: a receiving part for receiving a remote control signal; a first operation unit to be operated according to the received remote control signal; a second operation unit disposed in the back of the first operation unit and operated according to the received remote control signal; and an arranging part for moving at least one of the first and second operation units to bring both of the first and second operation units into a visually identifiable state, wherein the remote control terminal comprises: an input key for providing the operation instruction; and a sending part for sending the operation instruction to the electronic equipment body as the remote control signal.
According to the electronic equipment control system of the invention, for example, the electronic equipment body including an audio reproducing apparatus for reproducing a CD, a DVD or an MD is controlled by the remote control terminal.
In a front panel portion of the electronic equipment body, there are the first operation unit for operating the electronic equipment and the second operation unit provided in the back.
In case in which an operation instruction relating to use of a second operation unit function is sent from the remote control terminal, the arranging part moves the first operation unit or the second operation unit or both of them and brings an operation surface of the second operation unit into a visible state so that a user can easily identify the operation surface of the second operation unit
