The regenerative apparatus for feeding back a disk type recording medium has a control means for putting the regenerative apparatus into the feedback halt state when, for example, a display command of a television broadcast program is outputted when the regenerative apparatus performs a feedback operation and selects signals from the regenerative apparatus, selecting video signals of the television broadcast program, canceling the feedback halt state of the regenerative apparatus and putting it into the feedback state when a display command of video signals from the regenerative apparatus is outputted thereafter, and selecting video signals from the regenerative apparatus.

Disk regenerative apparatus

The regenerative apparatus for feeding back a disk type recording medium has a control unit for putting the regenerative apparatus into the feedback halt state when a display command of a television broadcast program is outputted when the regenerative apparatus performs a feedback operation and selects signals from the regenerative apparatus, selecting video signals of the television broadcast program, canceling the feedback halt state of the regenerative apparatus and putting it into the feedback state when a display command of video signals from the regenerative apparatus is outputted thereafter, and selecting video signals from the regenerative apparatus.

A television system containing a video CD reproducer intended for reducing picture distortion (aspect distortion) occurring when picture information recorded on a video CD in a standard different from the television standard is reproduced for displaying a picture on a cathode-ray tube of the television. To reduce the aspect distortion, the television system containing a video CD reproducer comprises determination means for determining the standard type of picture information recorded on a video CD played back by the video CD reproducer and deflection control means for controlling deflection of a video signal in response to the determination result of the determination means.

Television system containing a video compact disk reproducer

A television apparatus with a built-in optical disk device for reproducing a video signal recorded on an optical disk to make a display. By disposing the optical disk device apart from the high voltage generating section of the television apparatus and an anode electrode of a cathode-ray tube and shielding the optical disk device, influence of dust and noise is reduced. Simultaneously, by reading out a video signal and information concerning the video signal, and optimally controlling video display of the video signal, setting is conducted so as to make flicker at the time of still picture display and block noise and mosquito noise at the time of motion picture display inconspicuous. Video images supplied from the optical disk are thus displayed with a satisfactory quality.

Television apparatus with built-in optical disk device

A remote control apparatus has a plurality of manipulating buttons fitted in a plurality of windows, respectively, formed in a casing member, each of the manipulating buttons being formed of a transparent material and having a lower portion provided with a switch actuating projection and an upper portion disposed within each of the windows for allowing user to operate the button with his or her finger. A switch array includes a plurality of switches corresponding to the plural manipulating buttons and is mounted within the casing member such that each of the switches can be changed over between ON and OFF states by contact with a switch actuating projection in the operation of the corresponding manipulating button. A mode change-over switch is selectively movable to a plurality of positions for setting one of a plurality of predetermined modes in which the switch array is to be operated, and a display plate for displaying marks indicating functions of the individual manipulating buttons in the mode set by the mode change-over switch is movable with the mode change-over switch and is located between the button array and the switch array so that the marks can be visually recognized through the individual manipulating buttons, and so that the marks displayed correspond to the mode set by the mode change-over switch. The display plate includes slots through which the switch actuating projections extend.

Multi-function keyboard for remote control apparatus

A remote control signal reproducing circuit for use in a remotely-controlled receiver which receives a modulated transmission signal subjected to a pulse modulation, reproduces an original remote control signal form the received modulated transmission signal, and judges the reproduced remote control signal for effecting predetermined control operations based on pulse counts obtained during three predetermined successive time intervals. A remote control signal is delivered if the pulse count obtained in the first time interval exceeds a first level. Judgement of the remote control signal is stopped when the number of pulses counted during the second and third time intervals is below or above predetermined numbers respectively. The circuit functions to eliminate noise pulse.
