Abstract
In a television set that displays images of a specified broadcast channel out of broadcast waves received by a receiving unit (3), a channel selection number corresponding to a broadcast channel to be selected is entered by a channel entering unit (1) through operation keys (1a to 1j) corresponding to respective integers from 0 to 9, and then the entry is received. If the channel selection number is an integer of an even number out of 0 to 9, a channel selection controlling unit (2) arranges entered integers including the entered even number in the order in which they were entered and confirms the channel selection number. It directs the receiving unit (3) to select a broadcast channel corresponding to the confirmed channel selection number.
