    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.

    Abstract: A video source selecting system for a television receiver has a built-in video tape recorder (video deck) for sequentially selecting for display, a plurality of video signals on various channels, such video signals including at least a video signal from the built-in video deck, and a video signal from at least one external video input terminal. A selected video signal is supplied to a monitor television receiver. When the built-in video tape recorder is placed in its playback mode, the plurality of video signals are switched selected sequentially, while when the built-in video tape recorder is not placed in its playback mode, it is skipped by the switch, whereby the order in which the video signals are switched is in response to the operational state of the built-in video tape recorder.

    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: Remote control apparatus is provided for generating and transmitting remote control signals for controlling the operations of one or more devices. For example, the remote control apparatus may be used to control video playback and display devices, whereby previously recorded video signals may be played back and displayed. The apparatus includes a plurality of selector switches, each being selectively operable to initiate the transmission of a respective command signal for commanding a corresponding operation in the controlled devices. An encoder is coupled to the selector switches and is responsive to the operation of a respective one thereof to generate an encoded command signal. This command signal is transmitted to the controlled devices, wherein it is received and utilized to implement the commanded operation. A selectively operable control switch also is provided. A control circuit is coupled to the encoder and is responsive to the operation of the control switch to simulate successive operations of the plural selector switches, whereby the encoder responds to the operation of the control switch to generate successive encoded command signals.

    Abstract: S01129 CHANNEL SELECTING APPARATUS FOR USE WITH SIGNAL RECEIVER AND SIGNAL RECORDER 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. The channel selecting apparatus 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 recorder, such as a video tape recorder (VTR). Selectively operable channel selectors, such as selector switches, are common to the first and second tuning devices for generating and supplying channel selector signals to the tuning devices so as to determine the tuning condition of both tuning devices. A locking circuit is operative in response to the actuation of the VTR to lock the second tuning device to the tuning condition determined by the channel selector signal generated by the channel selector switches immediately prior to said actuation of the signal recorder regardless of the subsequent generation of different channel selector signals by the channel selecting switches. The locking circuit is operative in the absence of the actuation of the VTR to enable the tuning condition of the second tuning device to be determined by the channel selector signals which are generated by the channel selecting switches simultaneously with the determination of the tuning condition of the first tuning device. 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 -i-and second tuning devices are tuned, and an output coupled to the television receiver, the switching circuit being operative in the absence of the actuation of the VTR to connect the output of the switching circuit to the second input thereof. When the VTR is actuated, the switching circuit is operative to connect the output thereof to its first input. The broadcast frequency which is received by the second tuning device is supplied to the television receiver when the VTR is not actuated, and the broadcast frequency which is received by the first tuning device is supplied to the television receiver when the VTR is actuated. -ii-

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the time until a screen is displayed, when switching channels and at the same time reduce load to eyes with a display device. SOLUTION: An input means 1a inputs an mage signal. A detection means 1c detects, for example, when a reception channel is switched and reports the detection to an image signal adjustment means 1d. The image signal adjustment means 1d gradually cancels blanking from a stage, before a complete image signal has been outputted for supplying to an output means 1b. The output means 1b supplies an image signal that has been adjusted, by the image signal adjustment means 1d to a display section 1f for display.
