In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an automatic reservation recording table when a reservation recording channel, recording start time, and end time are set after a general reservation recording mode of VSI is selected by a user and a general reservation recording menu screen is displayed. In this case, when the registration signal is inputted, the registered information is registered in the auto schedule recording table, and the auto schedule recording mode is selected and the auto schedule recording menu screen is displayed. It is characterized in that it comprises the step of registering or deleting the previously registered automatic reservation recording items.

Hereinafter, more specific features of the present invention will be understood by describing the same in detail with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a VSI system for processing the present invention. FIG.

That is, a phase lock loop (PLL) control is performed on the tuner 21 which receives the regular broadcast signal from the antenna 20 of the VSI system and performs channel tuning, and the tuning signal provided by the tuner 21. A phase lock loop circuit 22, a VSI microcomputer 23 for controlling a VSI system, an OSD unit 24 for generating an OSD screen, and a deck unit 25 for performing a recording / playback deck operation. And a timer unit 26 for performing a clock, a channel reservation function, a servo circuit unit 27 for controlling the traveling speed and timing of the tape, and a memory unit 28 for storing various kinds of information set by the user during reservation recording. ), An RF converter 29, a video signal processing circuit 30 for processing a video signal, an external TV receiver unit 31, and the like.

3 is a flowchart showing an automatic reservation recording method of VSI according to the present invention.

First, when the user selects the normal reservation recording mode by using a remote controller or the like, VSI microcomputer 23 sends a control signal to the OS unit 24 to output the general reservation recording menu screen (steps 100 and 101).

At this time, the user views the general reservation recording menu screen and sets the reservation recording channel, recording start time and recording end time through the key input unit of the remote controller.

Accordingly, the microcomputer 23 determines whether the reserved recording channel, recording start time and recording end time have been set (step 102). It is determined whether or not the set recording information is to be registered in the automatic reservation recording table (step 103).
