A digital broadcast receiver is provided which can reliably perform a seek operation for an ensemble. When a NULL symbol is detected by a NULL detector 20 while a front end 2 sequentially tunes in frequencies of a plurality of ensembles, a system controller 37A checks whether the NULL detector 20 detects a transmission mode permitted for the band of the ensemble to be presently sought. If detected, the seek operation is terminated, and the automatic frequency adjusting system including a frequency error detector 33A, integrator 34, D/A converter 35, reference oscillator 13, and PLL circuits 7, 12, 17 adjusts a frequency. If the NULL detector 20 does not detect a transmission mode permitted for the band of the ensemble to be presently sought, the seek operation continues. |
