    Abstract: A dark signal component below a predetermined level of a video signal is varied such that a dark peak level is made to coincide with a pedestal level by feedback control. According to this configuration, a signal component toward a white level side above the predetermined level is not changed by dark restoration, thus obtaining stable color reproduction and stable brightness which are not affected by the dark restoring operation.

    Abstract: An automatic fine tuning loop in a television receiver is controlled by phase comparison between a video intermediate frequency signal and a reference oscillator signal. The reference oscillator signal is used in synchronous detection of the video intermediate frequency signal. The frequency of the reference oscillator is controlled by a phase locked loop, of which it is a part, and which includes a low-pass filter having selectable high and low cut-off frequencies. A lock-out detector selects the high cut-off frequency for rapid correction when lock-out is detected and selects the low cut-off frequency for frequency stability when lock-in is detected. An AFT disable switch disables the automatic fine tuning loop during manual tuning. In one embodiment, a disable switch ganged with the AFT disable switch selects the high cut-off frequency in the low-pass filter to prevent hunting.

    Abstract: A synchronous detector suitable for use in a color television receiver detects both a video signal and an audio IF signal, but in a fashion in which these two signals do not interfere with one another. In the detector, a tuner provides an IF signal in which the video signal and audio or sound IF signals are modulated on a carrier; a signal generator, such as a phase-locked loop, provides both a detecting signal synchronized with the carrier of the IF signal, and a comparing signal having the same frequency as the carrier of the IF signal but phase-shifted pi /2 therefrom; a synchronous detecting circuit for synchronously detecting the IF signal by the detecting signal to produce the video signal; and a phase comparator for phase comparing the IF signal with the comparing signal to provide the sound IF signal. In one arrangement, the phase comparator provides a filtered version of the sound IF signal as an AFT control signal to control the fine tuning of the tuner. In another embodiment, two phase comparators are included so that the sound IF signal and the AFT control signal are provided separately.
