Abstract: A recording current setting method comprises the steps of: recording signals on a tape by changing, by steps, recording current for the tape; detecting a reproduced signal level at each recording current; and determining an optimal recording current from a middle point between a first recording current at which a reproduced signal level first exceeds a threshold level as a result of increasing, by steps, the recording current and a second recording current at which a reproduced signal level first exceeds the threshold level as a result of decreasing, by steps, the recording current. An information signal recording apparatus using the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A ghost canceller includes a ghost cancelling circuit, waveform memories, a CPU, a training signal generating circuit, and a ghost variation detection circuit. By taking in GCR signals from the waveform memories into the CPU, synchronous addition and field sequence processing are effected, and they are transferred to the training signal generating circuit. The input video signal is changed over to the training signal to cancel ghosts, and when ghost variations are is not detected by the ghost variation detection circuit, the input video signal is fed into the ghost cancelling circuit, and is delivered as an output video signal.

Abstract: A multiple display control apparatus for a television receiver used for displaying a plurality of signals on a display tube. In a case of switching a first signal output and a second signal output of a signal process circuit are switched by switching circuits, when the two output signals are about equal in the brightness level to each other, the picture is very indistinct. Thus, the first signal level is lowered by means of gain control circuits, the characteristic thereof depending on an output impedance of the signal process circuit and resistances. The control signals for switching and gain control are superposed each other as one signal, so that only one line is used for control signal.
