Is stored as the display time T (X, 4). If T (X, 1) is not equal to CN, the timer microcomputer (1) continuously detects the X value while increasing it to 40, and if the condition is not met, the display counter (C)
Decrease the value of T). At this time, when the count value of the display counter (CT) becomes "0", the display is turned off.

In the process of giving a title to the on-screen display routine, the timer microcomputer (1) detects whether the assembly enable flag (AEFLAG) is set, and if it is set, sets the on-screen display routine. Is detected, and if the menu flag state is detected, the on-screen display routine is initialized to display the normal display surface. Next, a routine for counting the reel pulse and the capstan frequency is executed.

However, if the assembly flag (A flag) and the assembly enable flag (AE flag) are cleared, the main menu is selected and exited as shown in FIG. 10 by the menu key. When the main menu state is entered, the first title display surface can be displayed as shown in FIG. 10 by receiving an input from the remote control number key "6" in FIG. Is entered in the RAM buffer (N), and then the screen shifts to the second title display screen.

In the third title display surface of FIG. 12, FIG.
