Abstract
A circuit for controlling the operation of a cable television alarm device in accordance with an alert signal and an all-clear signal developed by a subscriber decoder in response to broadcast codes received over the cable network comprises a flip-flop responsive to the alert and all-clear signals for activating and de-activating the alarm device respectively and a manually operable single-pole switch for controlling the operation of the flip-flop. The switch is displaceable between first and second switching positions for enabling and disabling the flip-flop and is momentarily displaceable to the second switching position for clearing the flip-flop.
