Safety circuits for a television receiver

A low cost tuning bar type display for a television tuner is utilized for providing programming position information by segmenting the tuning bar into a predetermined number of dots, each of which corresponds to a programming position. A selected programming position is indicated by elongating the appropriate dot of the display.

Segmented bar display for a programmable tuner

A tuning system for a television receiver produces a tuning bar for display on a display screen. The horizontal position of the tuning bar is controlled in response to the tuning voltage. The tuning bar is segmented into a large portion and one or more smaller portions. The number of smaller portions of the tuning bar is representative of the band being tuned.
