Abstract
A digital broadcast receiver includes a CPU. The CPU starts a VTR several ten seconds before a broadcast start time for a reserved program, to set a video recording mode. Simultaneously, program information for the reserved program is outputted to the VTR. When the broadcast start time comes, the CPU stops the outputting of the program information, and outputs a video and audio signal for the reserved program to the VTR. Accordingly, a video cassette is first recorded with the program information, and then video-recorded with the reserved program.
