Abstract: For improving the frequency characteristic of a color television signal, particularly one in which the chrominance component thereof is provided with a bandwidth substantially narrower than that of the luminance component, the luminance component is used to generate a control signal which is proportional to the lack of registration between low and high frequency portions of the luminance component spectrum, and the control signal thus obtained selectively increases and decreases a delay applied to the relatively narrow-bandwidth chrominance component to substantially align its excursions with the excursions of the relatively wide bandwidth luminance component.

Abstract: This invention is a phase inversion circuit of improved stability of operation for a master-slave flip-flop circuit. An additional gating circuit is controlled by two signals, one from an output of the slave flip-flop circuit and the other from an externally applied phase inversion signal. The output of the additional gating circuit is connected to the master flip-flop circuit through a circuit means that also receives a signal from the slave flip-flop output circuit. In the absence of inversion signals the circuit means controls the master flip-flop circuit from the slave flip-flop circuit and the master flip-flop circuit controls the slave flip-flop circuit with the assistance of the timing pulses in the usual manner.

This eliminates the extraneous signal that would otherwise be produced in the balanced modulator of the playback apparatus by any direct voltage offset or transient remanent of a direct voltage offset in the recorded signal.
