A broadcast program reserve-recording apparatus receives broadcast program information contained in a broadcast signal received in a main body such as a VCR or TV, and displays the received information on a remote transceiver such as a remote controller having a display. When a user selects a desired broadcast program for reserve-recording while watching broadcast program information displayed on the remote transceiver, the reserve-recording information of the selected broadcast program is transmitted to the main body, in order to set reserve-recording. Thus, the broadcast program reserve-recording apparatus can reserve-record the broadcast program with minimum power necessary for transmission and reception of information without turning the power of the main body fully on.
