If a power-on signal is inputted to a television set in a standby state, a power control unit switches on a first power switch to supply power to the entire modules of the TV, A control unit then displays a menu window so that a user may select a specific function to be set from the menu window. The control unit determines the block that performs the corresponding functions in the memory and switches on a second power switch to supply power to the block performing the corresponding functions. Once the user inputs a power-off signal to the television, the power control unit switches off the first power switch to cut off the power controlled by the control unit. The second power switch maintains the on-state and supplies standby power to the control unit for the functions set by the user to be performed.
