6. The electronic device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein
the control unit controls the display portion to display information on the electric power consumption that would be saved and the cost of the electric power that would be saved when the state in which the energy setup is enabled is displayed on the displaying portion through a demonstration.
7. The electronic device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein
an external displaying portion is connected to the device main unit;
the device main unit includes an information displaying portion that displays information of the device main unit; and
the control unit visually demonstrates the state in which an energy setup is enabled, using the information displaying portion, while displaying a setup screen for the energy setup of the information displaying portion on the external displaying portion when performing the energy setup for the information displaying portion.
8. A receiving system comprising:
a receiving device that includes a receiving portion that receives a broadcast signal, a receiving device main unit, and a control unit; and
an external displaying device connected to the receiving portion, wherein
the control unit controls visual demonstration of an energy setup of the receiving device main unit, the energy setup including energy settings for a plurality of items on the external displaying device,
the control unit visually displays on the external displaying device, before receiving from a user an operation that enables the energy setting of a selected item of the plurality of items, a state corresponding to the energy setting of the selected item in which the energy setting of the selected item is enabled, through displaying on the external displaying device or through operating the receiving device.
9. The electronic device as set forth in claim 4 , further comprising:
a remote control including an energy setup menu button for switching to the energy setup menu screen, wherein
the main unit portion includes a remote control sensor that receives a signal from the remote control; and
the control unit controls the displaying portion to switch the screen that is displayed on the displaying portion to the energy setup menu screen when the energy setup menu button has been pressed by the user.
10. The electronic device as set forth in claim 2 , wherein
the control unit controls the display portion to display information on the electric power consumption that would be saved and the cost of the electric power that would be saved when the state in which the energy setup is enabled is displayed on the displaying portion through a demonstration.
11. The electronic device as set forth in claim 3 , wherein
the control unit controls the display portion to display information on the electric power consumption that would be saved and the cost of the electric power that would be saved when the state in which the energy setup is enabled is displayed on the displaying portion through a demonstration.
12. The electronic device as set forth in claim 4 , wherein
the control unit controls the display portion to display information on the electric power consumption that would be saved and the cost of the electric power that would be saved when the state in which the energy setup is enabled is displayed on the displaying portion through a demonstration.
13. The electronic device as set forth in claim 5 , wherein
the control unit controls the display portion to display information on the electric power consumption that would be saved and the cost of the electric power that would be saved when the state in which the energy setup is enabled is displayed on the displaying portion through a demonstration.
14. The electronic device as set forth in claim 2 , wherein
an external displaying portion is connected to the device main unit;
the device main unit includes an information displaying portion that displays information of the device main unit; and
the control unit visually demonstrates the state in which an energy setup is enabled, using the information displaying portion, while displaying a setup screen for the energy setup of the information displaying portion on the external displaying portion when performing the energy setup for the information displaying portion.
15. The electronic device as set forth in claim 3 , wherein
an external displaying portion is connected to the device main unit;
the device main unit includes an information displaying portion that displays information of the device main unit; and
the control unit visually demonstrates the state in which an energy setup is enabled, using the information displaying portion, while displaying a setup screen for the energy setup of the information displaying portion on the external displaying portion when performing the energy setup for the information displaying portion.
16. The electronic device as set forth in Claim 4 , wherein
