Abstract
An LCD TV capable of being used as a music station only, which can turn off the internal video decoder and the internal backlight power when the LCD TV only desires to output an audio. The LCD TV panel has a backlight control terminal with a first state and a second state to turn on/off the internal backlight power based on the first or second state. A video decoder has a working mode and a standby mode. When an instruction received by a command input device is a panel backlight power turning-off instruction, a controller produces a control signal to set the backlight control terminal to the second state to thereby drive the LCD TV panel to turn off the backlight power thereon and set the video decoder to the standby mode.
