Abstract
A switching power supply device has a large load power supply line for a CRT circuit, to and from which a dummy resistor for voltage stabilization is connected and disconnected by a switch. In standby state, a control unit turns off the switch to disconnect the dummy resistor from the power supply line. When receiving a power supply ON command input by a user operating a remote control, the control unit turns on the switch to connect the dummy resistor to the power supply line. At a predetermined time after the dummy resistor connection, the control unit makes a regulator active to start providing voltage to a video/audio signal processing circuit with sufficient current providable thereto. This enables to reduce power consumption of the power supply line with the dummy resistor, and to prevent problems caused by insufficient current in transient state from standby state to power supply ON state.
