First, when the reserved key (not shown) on the program key 1 (which may be the remote control's program key or the key attached to the video tape recorder) is pressed, the microcomputer 2 detects the memory ( The write signal WR is provided to 3).

In this case, the circuit of FIG. 1 operates as a reservation mode, in which the user presses the numeric and letter keys on the program key 1, and then the day plan such as the date of birth of the family, the sacrifice, the wedding anniversary, the appointment, and the melody thereof. And the like are set in advance in the memory 3. For example, when the first key is pressed and the family name and the birthday are sequentially pressed using the character keys and the numeric keys, the memory 3 receives the address signal ADDR and the data signal DATA under the control of the microcomputer 2. His address is to remember his family name and date of birth.

In addition, according to the state in which the second key, the third key, or the fourth key is pressed in the reservation mode, the memorial day, the wedding anniversary, or the plans of the day can be input.

In this way, the user accurately adjusts the current time of the microcomputer 2, selects a program reservation date and time such as a birthday, a memorial day, a wedding anniversary, and a day, and completes the program by selecting a melody according to the program contents.

Here, the choice of melody is birthday birthday, a ritual song, and a day's promise song. These melodies can be implemented in various melody ICs (4A ~ 4N) and IC can be implemented for specific songs.

In addition, the melody may be a song using an external sound device 5, in this case, the analog signal output from the sound device 5 is converted into a digital signal through an analog / digital converter 6 and then the microcomputer It is stored in the memory 3 under the control of (2). The stored song signal can be output to the outside through the speaker according to the state of the switch described later.
