Abstract
A station selecting station apparatus has a first mixer and a first local oscillation circuit for frequency converting the input signals (television signals) into a first intermediate frequency signal, a second mixer and a second local oscillation circuit for frequency converting the first intermediate frequency signal into the second intermediate frequency signal. A variable voltage device capable of varying and outputting by stages the direct current fixed voltage as the signal for controlling the second local oscillator is provided, the minimum potential width of the direct current fixed voltage is set so that the frequency displacement (unit variation amount) of the second local oscillator obtained by the potential difference is smaller than the frequency resolution of the first local oscillator.
