The present embodiment relates to, for example, a transceiver system capable of notifying a transmission device of an asynchronous state of a reception device with a simple configuration. The reception device includes an input unit, a synchronous-state detector, a resistance-value controller, and a terminal resistor. When the synchronous-state detector detects the asynchronous state, the resistance-value controller sets a resistance value of the terminal resistor to a resistance value indicating the asynchronous state. The transmission device includes an output unit, an amplitude detector, an output controller, and a transmission resistor. The output controller causes the output unit to output a signal constituting normal data including clock information when the synchronous state of the reception device is detected, and causes the output unit to output a signal constituting training data including the clock information when the asynchronous state of the reception device is detected.
