For example, when the position button representing “8” on the remote control device is pressed,
The channel recorded corresponding to the eighth position is selected, and the video signal broadcast by the channel is displayed on the display screen of the television receiver.

A conventional channel setting device for setting a plurality of selectable channels of a television receiver for each position is usually provided inside the television receiver, and attribute data of each channel for each position, for example, A plurality of data such as a channel selected when the position is selected, a display channel displayed on the display screen when the position is selected, and the like are recorded.

When correcting the attribute data of these channels, the user selects one attribute data to be corrected one by one while viewing the attribute data listed for each position on the display screen of the television receiver. Corrections can be made to the data.

As a device for replacing already recorded data, there is, for example, a karaoke device with a reservation order changing function disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H08-115092. FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the above-described conventional karaoke apparatus with a reservation order changing function.

In the karaoke apparatus having a reservation order changing function shown in FIG. 13, a RAM (random access memory) 703 is provided.
A plurality of designated karaoke songs are recorded in the reservation table in the order of reservation, and the voices of the reserved karaoke songs are converted from encoded performance data into song audio signals by the audio reproduction circuit 704 in accordance with the reservation order. The signal is output to the mixer amplifier 709. The music sound signal output to the mixer amplifier 709 is output to the outside by the speaker 710 as sound. Further, the encoded background video data and lyric data are converted into music video signals by the video reproduction circuit 708 and output to the television monitor 711.

Here, if the change key is pressed after the stop key provided on the input remote controller 705 is pressed, the order of the karaoke songs recorded in the reservation table of the RAM 703 is changed. If you can't sing because there is an errand that you can't release just at that time, you can change the reservation order, and if you come back after the errand, You can make your turn come back again.
