Abstract: A method for providing recording-reservation data to a VCR using a TV, and the TV and VCR adapted to the method are proposed, in which broadcasting signals are received via a receiving section of the TV, and teletext data consisting of plural informations is detected from the received broadcasting signal via a detecting section of the TV. The detected teletext data is stored in a memory of the TV by a controlling section of the TV, and at least one information required for recording reservation of the VCR in the stored teletext data is transmitted to the VCR. A controlling section of the VCR stores transmitted at least one information in a memory of the VCR as the recording reservation information.

Abstract: A tuning data sharing apparatus and method for a television/video cassette tape recorder, includes a first tuner for tuning a broadcasting signal, a first memory for storing a plurality of tuning data, a first microcomputer for transferring the plurality of tuning data stored in the first memory, when a command to store same tuning data is input thereto, a second microcomputer for receiving the plurality of tuning data transferred from the first memory, a second memory for storing the plurality of tuning data transferred from the first memory under a control of the second microprocessor so as to store the same plurality of tuning data in the first and second memories prior to a channel selection, and a second turner for tuning a broadcasting signal using the plurality of tuning data stored in the second memory.
