Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic apparatus with an operation button that can be easily mounted and prevents from being pushed into the electronic apparatus excessively. A front panel is provided with a button mounting portion. The front panel is further provided with an opening, a stopper portion, and a convex portion. The convex portion is fitted into a concave portion formed in an operation button to position the operation button. The operation button is sandwiched between the convex portion and a decorative panel. When an operating portion is pushed, a hinge portion formed on the operation button is bent to allow a pushing portion inserted through the opening to operate an internal switch. An abutting portion abuts against the stopper portion to inhibit the operation button from being excessively pushed in.

Abstract: The present invention enables a disk to be reliably and stably sandwiched so as to be centered with respect to a turntable while being prevented from floating. When a disk is sandwiched by placing it on a turntable, a central hole in a lower disk is guided to a positioning step portion along a lower inclined guide surface formed on a cylindrical portion. Here, even if the disk runs onto the horizontal step portion with the central hole in the lower disk failing to be fitted around the positioning step portion, a central hole in an upper disk is guided along an upper inclined guide surface to fit the central hole in the lower disk around the positioning step portion. This allows the lower disk to be centered with respect to the turntable. The disk is thus clamped between a damper and the turntable.

Abstract: Electrical equipment having a chassis with electronic parts mounted thereto can be simply mounted on a bottom of a cabinet without using screws and can be simply disassembled. A plurality of hooks are provided on a bottom plate of the cabinet. The chassis is formed with holes to permit the hooks to engage therewith.

Abstract: To provide an electronic device comprising an audio mute control circuit for preventing the occurrence of a “click noise” even in “power supply shutdown” not caused by the input of a power switch. An audio mute control circuit 70 is provided which outputs a mute signal to an audio processing circuit 80 based on an audio mute control signal from a microcomputer 30 and a power fail signal from a power failure detection circuit 20 for detecting the presence or absence of power supply from an external power supply, so that when the power fail signal from the power failure detection circuit 20 indicates “no power supply,” the audio processing circuit 80 is muted regardless of the operation of the microcomputer 30. Thus, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a “click noise” from speakers 90 in “power supply shutdown” not caused by the input of a power switch.

Abstract: To reduce a time required for auto preset operation by using a plurality of tuners, and to enable a user to view a detected program even if auto preset process is under way. When auto preset operation starts, a control unit 5 controls mounted two tuners 3a and 3b to perform channel searching simultaneously. One of the tuners 3a performs channel searching of terrestrial analog broadcasting and the other tuner 3b performs channel searching of terrestrial digital broadcasting. As channel searching by the tuner 3b takes a processing time longer than that of channel searching of analog broadcasting by the tuner 3a, a user can view a broadcast program which can be received by reading preset information on analog broadcasting written in a non-volatile memory 9 when the tuner 3a completes channel searching.
