Abstract: A broadcast receiving apparatus, broadcast receiving system and a method of selecting a control signal in the broadcast receiving system, in which a group of control signal codes for remote control signals for the recorder is automatically selected and the selected group of control signal codes is used to operate the recorder. The group of control signal codes for remote control signals used in a remote commander accessory to the recorder is stored in a nonvolatile memory in correlation with the manufacturer or model of the remote commander and recorder, a control signal code received from the remote commander is compared with a pre-stored group of control signal codes, a group of control signal codes corresponding to the recorder is selected, and the selected group of control signal codes is used to designate an operation of the recorder.

Abstract: There are provided a broadcast receiving apparatus, broadcast receiving system and a method of selecting an control signal in the broadcast receiving system, in which a group of control signal codes for remote control signals for the recorder is automatically selected and the selected group of control signal codes is used to operate the recorder (2). The group of control signal codes for remote control signals used in a remote commander (5) accessory to the recorder (2) is stored in a nonvolatile memory (168) in correlation with the manufacturer or model of the remote commander (5) and recorder (2), a control signal code received from the remote commander (2) is compared with a pre-stored group of control signal codes, a group of control signal codes corresponding to the recorder (2) is selected, and the selected group of control signal codes is used to designate an operation of the recorder (2).

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for recording and reproducing video and audio signals on a record medium, wherein the audio signal may be of at least two different types subjected to respectively different types of audio processing. A recording section produces frequency modulated audio signal components and selectively adjusts the level of at least one FM audio signal component during the video blanking intervals as a function of the type of audio signal being modulated. Then, the FM audio signal components and the video signal are combined and recorded. A reproducing section separates the reproduced FM audio signal components from the reproduced video signal and detects the level of at least one separated FM audio signal component during blanking intervals. The FM audio signal components are demodulated and processed pursuant to a selected type of audio processing dependent upon the detected level of the FM audio signal component.

Abstract: An apparatus for displaying a video signal has a plurality of display elements corresponding to one standard of the television signal disposed in an X-Y matrix shape. The apparatus includes a separator for separating a sync signal from an input video signal, a control signal generator for generating a control signal in response to the sync signal, a driver for driving the display elements in response to the video signal and control signal, and a converter for changing the number of scanning lines in response to a timing changing in each frame when a different standard of the television signal is supplied as the input video signal.
