    Abstract: A picture display apparatus has respective modes in which it displays at least three different types of pictures in sequence in response to actuations of a single switch. The picture display apparatus may be incorporated within a conventional television receiver having a programmable timer, and in such case the first type of picture is the normal television picture, the second type of,picture is a display of the current day of the week and current time, and the third type of picture is a display of programming information stored in the programmable timer. When the switch is actuated within a predetermined time from the occurrence of a characteristic event in the respective mode, the next type of picture in the sequence is displayed. When the switch is actuated after the predetermined time has elapsed, the first type of picture in the sequence is displayed.

    Abstract: A single, hand held remote control unit produces command signals used to control all operational aspects of a video tape recorder and an associated television receiver, and the video tape recorder and television receiver include switches that upon actuation can provide various interconnections so that all operating modes of the two units are possible. Actuation of the switches is performed by controllers, arranged at the particular units, and which receive the coded command signals from the remote control unit to set the switches in accordance with any of several keys that can be actuated on the remote control unit. In one aspect, depressing a single playback key at the remote control unit will produce coded signals received by the controllers to set the television receiver to an unused channel frequency and cause the video tape recorder to reproduce a prerecorded video tape, with the reproduced signal fed to the television receiver over that unused channel for display.

    Abstract: Channel selecting apparatus for use with a signal receiver coupled to a first tuning device and a signal recorder coupled to a second tuning device is operable to tune the first and second tuning devices to preselected channels for receiving broadcast frequencies. In one embodiment, the signal receiver is a television receiver including a video display, and the signal recorder is a video tape recorder (VTR). Selectively operable channel selectors, common to the first and second tuning devices supply channel selector signals to determine the tuning condition of both tuning devices. When the VTR is actuated, a locking circuit locks the second tuning device to the tuning condition determined immediately prior to such actuation regardless of a subsequent difference in the channel selector signals. The locking circuit in the absence of the actuation of the VTR, enables the tuning condition of the second tuning device, as well as that of the first tuning device, to be determined by the channel selector signals. A switching circuit has first and second inputs coupled to the first and second tuning devices, respectively, to receive the channels to which the first and second tuning devices are tuned, and an output coupled to the television receiver. The switching circuit, when the VTR is unactuated, connects the output of the switching circuit to the second input thereof. When the VTR is actuated, the switching circuit connects the output thereof to its first input.

    Abstract: In an audio and/or video electronic apparatus, such as, a television receiver or a video tape recorder, which, in a remote control mode, is capable of having operations thereof controllable by respective first remote control codes in response to the reception of corresponding signals from a first remote or separate control transmitter intended for use with such apparatus; there is provided, as an integral component of the electronic appartus, a nonvolatile memory in which, in a programming or learning mode, the first remote control codes are written in association with respective second remote control codes for controlling the same operations and which are generated in response to the reception of corresponding signals from a second remote control transmitter intended for use with a different electronic apparatus. After such programming, in the remote control mode of the apparatus, the reception of a control signal from the second remote control transmitter causes read-out from the nonvolatile memory of the first remote control code which is associated with the second remote control code corresponding to the received control signal for controlling the operation of the electronic apparatus in accordance with the read-out first remote control code.
