Abstract
The video tape recorder includes key input unit for inputting the "G-code", decoder for decoding the "G-code", teletext signal extracting circuit for extracting the program list including the VPS code multiplexed on the vertical blanking period from the video signal, and teletext control unit and preset control unit, implemented by a microcomputer, for carrying out a predetermined control. The "G-code" input from key input unit 11 is decoded by decoder. Preset control unit causes teletext control unit to extract the VPS code of the program specified by the "G-code" from the program list transmitted by the broadcasting station specified by the "G-code". Recording is controlled based on the extracted VPS code. Therefore, even when the time of broadcasting of the preset program is changed by the broadcasting station, the program can be recorded accordingly.
