摘要： A television receiver includes a chassis having a digital tuner for generating local oscillator signals for tuning the receiver to respective channels in response to binary signals representing corresponding channel numbers and a signal processing unit for controlling at least one characteristic of the receiver such as the sound level, in response to binary signals representing the controllable characteristic. The receiver also includes a microcomputer including a RAM (Random Access Memory) with at least one memory location for storing binary signals representing the present time and a plurality of memory locations for storing binary signals representing future times and channel numbers of channels to be tuned at those times. A control portion of the microcomputer causes binary signals representing the channel number associated with a future time to be coupled to the digital tuner when the present time matches the future time. A keyboard having ten digit keys for generating binary signals representing the decimal digits between 0 and 9 and two characteristic keys to generate binary signal representing an increase and a decrease in the controllable characteristic is provided to enable user control of various operating modes of the receiver. When a user operates digit keys to form a number within a predetermined range of channel numbers, e.g., 2-83, the control portion of the microcomputer causes a channel to be tuned. Subsequently, operation of digit keys within the predeterined range of channel numbers causes the channel to be changed and operation of the characteristic keys causes the controllable characteristic to change. When a user operates digit keys to form a number not within the predetermined range of channel numbers, the control portion of the microcomputer causes power to be decoupled from the chassis. Subsequently, in response to the operation of a predetermined one of the characteristic keys, the control portion causes binary signals generated in response to the operation of the digit keys to be selectively coupled to either the RAM location associated with the present time or to the RAM location for future selections.

摘要： The stored digitized video image data stored in a video RAM is transferred from the video RAM in a pix-in-pix television receiver to an external computer via a computer interface circuit under control of the pix-in-pix controller. The computer interface circuit is coupled to the internal controller of the television receiver via an external terminal. The external terminal receives digital control data from the external computer and conveys the stored digitized video image data signals from the video RAM to the external computer.

摘要： Time-keeping apparatus includes a microcomputer having a normal, relatively high power consumption mode of operation and a standby relatively low power consumption mode of operation. The AC power supply includes energy storage providing standby power for operation during power interruption. A controllable delay arrangement causes the microcomputer to operate in a cyclical mode with a relatively long duration in the standby mode of operation and a relatively short duration in the normal mode of operation. The time period of the relatively long duration, having been previously stored in memory, is utilized for incrementing the time-keeping during the relatively short duration in the normal mode until the end of the power interruption ends the cylical mode of operation.

摘要： In a tuning system for a television receiver including a memory for storing binary signals representing tuning voltages corresponding to various channels a viewer may select, during a tuning voltage setup mode in which the binary signals representing the tuning voltages are generated in response to viewer control, a multiplexer couples predetermined selected ones of the binary signals representing the tuning voltages to a digital channel number display unit to provide a viewer with an indication of the relative tuning position. The multiplexer also couples binary signals representing the letter "A" to the channel number display during the tuning voltage setup mode to distinguish the tuning voltage setup mode from other modes of operation of the tuning system. In addition, during a channel selection setup mode, in which a viewer selects the channels he does not wish skipped during normal operation of the tuning system, the multiplexer couples binary signals representing the letters "CH" to the channel number display to distinguish the channel selection tuning mode from the tuning voltage setup mode and the normal operating mode.

摘要： A component audio/video system includes a system controller coupled to supply selection and control commands to a plurality of peripheral audio/video devices and to receive status messages therefrom. The devices may be selected to form a number of different recording configurations involving combinations of one or more recording signal sources and one or more devices for recording the signals. The system controller enters one of a number of different control modes for turning power off to the signal sources and recording devices depending on the status messages identifying recording configurations to enable continued recording by some devices when others run out of recording or playback media.

摘要： A television receiver includes apparatus for stabilizing an on-screen character display by which the deflection signal source is controlled for operating in a free-running mode, substantially unaffected by signal variations on the sync input line, rather than in a synchronized mode when sync is unreliable or otherwise undesirable. As another feature, the deflection signal source is caused to operate at substantially the same frequency in either mode.

摘要： Apparatus for controlling various functions of a television receiver such as the picture and audio responses includes a keyboard with numbered keys which are normally used for selecting channels and a program key. When the program key is pressed, an on-screen character generator is caused to display a numbered list or menu of the various functions to be controlled. Thereafter, a particular function can be selected for control by pressing the correspondingly numbered key. This causes the numbered list or menu of the characteristics of the selected function, e.g., the brightness, contrast, sharpness, color level and color tint of the picture, to be displayed. Thereafter a particular characteristic can be selected for control by pressing the correspondingly numbered key.

摘要： An interconnection system for an audio and video component entertainment system includes a single conductor audio bus serially coupled between each of the video and audio components transfers audio signal in a "daisy-chain" manner among the components. The video components are grouped together separately from the audio components along the audio bus and both types of components supply and/or receive audio signals from the bus. A first switch in series with the audio bus separates the audio bus into first and second sections so as to allow simultaneous and independent audio signal transfer among the video and audio components connected to the separated sections of the audio bus.
