<p>In a timer apparatus, a stored reservation date for recording a programme and the present date are compared (53) and, when the reserved date is past the present date, the reserved date is automatically changed (54 to 57) to the nearest future date of the same day of the week, so that user effort is simplified and required memory space is decreased. When it is necessary to make a change in the date or day of the week being displayed, a plurality of selected display patterns are repeatedly displayed within a predetermined time period so that it appears to the user that the date and/or the day of the week is being continuously and sequentially changed at a high speed, whereas only the selected patterns are being sequentially displayed.</p> |
