Receiver apparatus, junction cable, and power supply apparatus

1. A receiver apparatus comprising:

a main unit device; and

a junction cable configured to transmit one or both of signal and electric power between the main unit device and an external device, wherein

the junction cable is a multicore coaxial cable having a plurality of core wire cables and a covered wire covering the plurality of core wire cables, and

in the junction cable, only the covered wire is cut locally so that the covered wire is divided into a main unit device-side covered wire and an external device-side covered wire, and

the main unit device transmits one or both of the signal and electric power by the core wire cable, and

the main unit device-side covered wire or the core wire cable is connected to an antenna input port of a built-in tuner, and the main unit device receives a desired broadcast wave with the tuner using a high-frequency signal induced in the main unit device-side covered wire or the external device-side covered wire,

when receiving a first type signal, the first type signal is received by a monopole antenna formed by the main unit device-side covered wire, and

when receiving a second type signal, the second type signal is received by a sleeve antenna formed by the external device-side covered wire, and

wherein an intermediate process portion is provided at a certain distance from the antenna input port, and only the covered wire is cut at the intermediate process portion so that the covered wire is divided into a main unit device-side covered wire and an external device-side covered wire, and the junction cable is inserted through a core in a tubular shape, and the core is disposed at the portion at which the covered wire is cut.

2. The receiver apparatus as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the junction cable is detachably connected to one or both of the main unit device and the external device by a connector.

3. The receiver apparatus as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the external device is an earphone.

4. A junction cable comprising:

a multicore coaxial cable having a plurality of core wire cables and a covered wire covering the plurality of core wire cable;

a main unit device-side connector provided at one end of the multicore coaxial cable and configured to connect the multicore coaxial cable to a main unit device; and

an external device-side connector provided at the other end of the multicore coaxial cable and configured to connect the multicore coaxial cable to an external device, wherein

only the covered wire is cut locally, and the covered wire is divided into a main unit device-side covered wire and an external device-side covered wire,

the core wire cable transmits one or both of signal and electric power between the main unit device and the external device, and

the main unit device-side covered wire or the core wire cable is connected via the main-unit side connector to an antenna input port of a tuner being built in the main unit device,

when receiving a first type signal, the first type signal is received by a monopole antenna formed by the main unit device-side covered wire, and

when receiving a second type signal, the second type signal is received by a sleeve antenna formed by the external device-side covered wire, and

wherein an intermediate process portion is provided at a certain distance from the antenna input port, and only the covered wire is cut at the intermediate process portion so that the covered wire is divided into a main unit device-side covered wire and an external device-side covered wire, and the junction cable is inserted through a core in a tubular shape, and the core is disposed at the portion at which the covered wire is cut.

5. The junction cable as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the external device is an earphone.

6. A power supply apparatus comprising:

a power supply unit configured to generate electric power for a main unit device; and

a cable configured to supply the electric power generated by the power supply unit to the main unit device via a connector provided at one end, wherein

the cable is a multicore coaxial cable having a plurality of core wire cables and a covered wire covering the plurality of core wire cables,

only the covered wire is cut locally, and the covered wire is divided into a main unit device-side covered wire and an external device-side covered wire,

the core wire cable supplies the electric power to the main unit device, and

the main unit device-side covered wire or the core wire cable is connected via the connector to an antenna input port of a tuner being built in the main unit device,

when receiving a first type signal, the first type signal is received by a monopole antenna formed by the main unit device-side covered wire,

when receiving a second type signal, the second type signal is received by a sleeve antenna formed by the external device-side covered wire, and

wherein an intermediate process portion is provided at a certain distance from the antenna input port, and only the covered wire is cut at the intermediate process portion so that the covered wire is divided into a main unit device-side covered wire and an external device-side covered wire, and the junction cable is inserted through a core in a tubular shape, and the core is disposed at the portion at which the covered wire is cut.
