Abstract
A device which allows a user to enter TV program recording reservations into a VCR memory and record the TV programs on videotape based on the reservations. This device is also capable of distinguishing between reservation data for TV programs which have been recorded and those which have not. TV program reservation data may be entered via keyboard 10 or remotely using telephone set 1. At the time of recording of a reserved TV program, a mark indicating that the recording has been performed is stored in RAM along with the data for that reservation and this mark is stored for a prescribed period of time. When review button 10-2 is pressed, TV program reservation data is displayed on LCD 14. The display changes depending on whether or not the above-mentioned mark is stored in RAM and it is thus possible for a user to determine whether the reserved TV program has been recorded.
