Abstract
In a VTR for recording a plurality of TV programs at times previously set by a timer, a key for selecting any one of plural recording characteristics (e.g. tape running speed) is provided, and each of plural desired TV programs is recorded between determined recording start and end times on the basis of each of recording characteristics selected by the key. Therefore, for instance, a music program can be recorded at a slow tape speed in stable condition for allowing long-term preservation or a sports program can be recorded at a high tape speed in a single tape cassette while the user is out.
