Abstract
A television receiver includes an OSD display section configured to display a desired OSD, and a voice input section to which voices are inputted. The receiver also includes a storage section having prestored therein a control code associated with a voice representing a command to change channels or an analogous command, and a call-up control code associated with a voice for causing the display section to display a character image in an OSD manner. The receiver further includes a control section configured to cause the display section to display the character image associated with the call-up control code when a voice associated with the call-up control code is inputted through the voice input section. The control section instructs components of a receiver body to perform respective operations for executing the command according to the control code only during a time period during which the display section displays the character image.
