1. A reception device comprising:
a first electronic component including
a first memory in which a first computer program is stored,
a first processor coupled to the first memory, and
a first control circuit controlling the first processor; and
a second electronic component including
a second memory in which a second computer program is stored,
a second processor coupled to the second memory, and
a second control circuit controlling the second processor, wherein
the first processor is configured to perform processing by executing the first computer program, the processing including:
outputting an analog sound signal generated by demodulating a reception signal, the reception signal including a digital broadcast wave and an analog broadcast wave;
transmitting the reception signal to the second electronic component; and
transmitting the analog sound signal to the second electronic component,
the second processor is configured to perform processing by executing the second computer program, the processing including:
receiving the reception signal from the first electronic component;
receiving the analog sound signal from the first electronic component;
outputting a digital sound signal generated by demodulating the reception signal; and
selecting, as an output sound signal, at least one of the digital sound signal and the analog sound signal, and
the first control circuit is configured to control the first processor to simultaneously start a transmission of the reception signal from the first electronic component to the second electronic component and a transmission of the analog sound signal from the first electronic component to the second electronic component.
