Receiver having program reserving function

Claim 1

A receiver having a program reserving function, comprising a memory for storing a reserved time and a corresponding reserved program number, a clock circuit, a comparator and a synthesizer-type radio receiver, said comparator comparing the reserved time in said memory to the actual time in said clock circuit and causing said receiver to receive radio waves of the program corresponding to the reserved time and number when the reserved time and the actual time coincide, said receiver further including time adjusting means for adjusting the time in said clock circuit, program reserving means, and setting means for causing a reserved time and a corresponding reserved program number defined by the outputs of said time adjusting means to be stored in said memory in response to operation of said program reserving means, said time adjusting means including first, second and third time adjusting buttons and said program reserving means including a program button and a memory button, said first, second and third time adjusting buttons being adapted to respectively adjust hours, minutes and seconds in said clock circuit, said setting means including reference clock signal generating means, a latch, counter means and input key switching means, said input key switching means being responsive to the operation of said program button for causing said counter means, under the control of said time adjusting buttons, to count the clock signals from said reference clock signal generating means and for causing said latch to latch the output of said counter means, said counter means output in said latch being stored in said memory by said setting means in response to operation of said memory button, whereby desired program reserving data can be preset in said receiver.
