Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes an input module, a tuner, an amplifier and a preset module. The input module receives a television broadcast signal. The tuner selects a television broadcast signal of a target channel from television broadcast signals of channels receivable by way of the input module. The amplifier amplifies the television broadcast signal supplied to the tuner. The preset module determines whether each of the channels is receivable or unreceivable and to turn on or turn off of the amplifier, based on a first reception status information of the television broadcast signal of the reception channel acquired from the tuner in a state that the amplifier is on and a second reception status information of the television broadcast signal of the reception channel acquired from the tuner in a state that the amplifier is off.
