Abstract

In a digital broadcast receiving apparatus, when a power source operation input is done by a user during execution of a starting sequence, a control part stops the execution of the starting sequence and counts the number of operations for a preset time. When the number of operations is odd, an ending sequence is executed and a power source is stopped. On the other hand, when the number of operations is even, the starting sequence is resumed from the beginning and when the power source operation input is not done again, the starting sequence is executed and completed. When the starting sequence is completed, based on a digital broadcast signal of a desired channel received by a tuner through an antenna, a video signal and a sound signal are generated and are outputted to a display unit.
