A method of presetting is provided, wherein a plurality of command signals associated with a plurality of apparatuses, a plurality of manufacturers, a plurality of format systems and a plurality of control operations are stored in a memory in advance. A detecting circuit is provided for sequentially transmitting predetermined command signals (e.g., a power on command) to an apparatus to be controlled in accordance with the operation in the preset mode to detect the operational mode of the apparatus to be controlled. As a result, the operation of the apparatus to be controlled can be automatically detected, and the type, the manufacturer and the format of the of the apparatus can be identified from the command signal transmitted.
