Abstract
A VTR signal discriminating apparatus for a television receiver generates discriminating signals when the receiver having this apparatus is receiving signals e.g. from a home use video tape recorder (VTR). This apparatus detects video head switching noises mixed in signals from the VTR having two video heads which are alternately switched every field of the signals by counting the number of apparent sync signals received within a given period of time. Thus, video signals originating from a broadcast station are distinguished from video signals originating from the VTR and the invention output denotes the presence of the appropriate signal. A television receiver can be modified in response to the invention output to accommodate the characteristics of the particular video signal received.
