Abstract
When the EPG function key 251 is depressed, the operation judges whether or not an SD card 41 has been installed (Step S16). When an SD card 41 has been installed, the EPG screen is displayed which shows all the programs including copy controlled programs (Step S18). On the other hand, when an SD card 41 has not been installed, the program A3 which is a copy prohibited program becomes blurred and displayed such as the display 300 (Step S20). Also, when the TV function key 253 is depressed, the operation reverts to Step S10 and returns to the reception screen of a television program.
