The signal processing apparatus for setting a vertical blanking signal of the television set that allows to set the beginning position and end position of a horizontal blanking signal irrespective of the numbers of lines in the vertical synchronous signal interval, comprising: an up counter for counting the vertical synchronous signal interval, synchronizing with the horizontal synchronous signal to lock forcedly the interlace signal to become a non-interlace signal; and a down counter for loading and down counting the count value of the up counter, wherein the down counter loads the data of the up counter immediately before the up counter is reset at a timing of the vertical synchronous signal and down counts the data which is loaded in the down counter as the initial value.
