Proceeding to step 46, the reserved channel, the reserved volume, and the reserved volume or the reserved image or the like are modified according to the key input state of the selection key 20B and the control key 20C.

However, if the determination result of the step 45 determines that the key setting unit 20 is not being keyed to correct the predetermined setting, the control proceeds directly to step 47.

In step 47, the microcomputer 30 determines whether or not the setting key 20A of the key setting unit 20 is keyed to store the predetermined settings as integrated reservation items. Done.

Herein, when it is determined in step 47 that the microcomputer 30 determines that the set key 20A is being operated, the control proceeds to step 49 and the integrated reservation is stored in the data storage 22. In addition, the execution state of the integrated schedule setting mode is released.

However, when it is determined in step 43 that the microcomputer 30 determines that the key operation for setting the reservation time is not performed in the key setting unit 20, the control proceeds to step 48, such as 30 seconds. If it is determined whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed and it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, then control returns to step 42 above.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed as a result of the determination of step 48, the control proceeds directly to the step 49.

In step 50, the microcomputer 30 checks the clock time of the timer unit 23. In step 51, the microcomputer 30 determines whether the clock time has elapsed as the reservation start time. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 51 that the microcomputer 30 determines that the clock time of the timer unit 23 has elapsed to the reservation start time, the control proceeds to step 52 to the data storage unit 22. Read the data according to the stored integrated reservation, and tune the television broadcast signal of the reserved channel according to the regular broadcast program in the tuner 10, and according to the reservation volume and the reservation pitch in the voice signal processing unit 15 While the volume and the pitch of the audio signal are adjusted, the image signal processor 12 adjusts the contrast and color density of the composite video signal according to the adjustment value of the reserved video. As such control is performed, is output to the video and audio output can be made through the CRT (14) and a speaker (17).

Next, in step 53, the microcomputer 30 checks the clock time of the timer unit 23 and determines whether the clock time has elapsed to the reservation end time.

If the microcomputer 30 determines that the clock time of the timer unit 23 has elapsed to the reserved end time, the control proceeds to step 54 where the microcomputer 30 controls the power supply unit 1. Power off.
