Abstract: A control circuit includes: a capacitor for normal reproduction which stores an output of a reproduction color burst level detection for automatic color signal level control in a color signal processing circuit at the time of normal reproduction in a video cassette recorder; a capacitor for special reproduction which stores an output of a reproduction color burst level detection for automatic color signal level control at the time of special reproduction in the video cassette recorder; a switch for changing-over between outputs of the capacitors to supply a selected output to a gain variable amplifier for color signal amplification; and applying circuit for applying a voltage of the capacitor for special reproduction to the capacitor for normal reproduction at the time of special reproduction.

Abstract: A signal line changeover circuit includes a first signal processing block having a first emitter follower for outputting a signal, a second signal processing block having a second emitter follower for outputting a signal, and a switch block having a first terminal connected to an output terminal of the first emitter follower through a first signal line, a second terminal connected to an output terminal of the second emitter follower through a second signal line, a third terminal for outputting a signal, a selection switch for alternatively connecting the first and second terminals to the third terminal, a first switch connected between the first terminal and a power line and turned on when the selection switch selects the second terminal and a second switch connected between the second terminal and the power line and turned on when the selection switch selects the first terminal.

Abstract: A color signal processing circuit for a VCR includes: an APC circuit for recording; an APC circuit for playback; a first circuit providing a color signal for recording; a second circuit providing a color signal for playback; and a switch block having a selection switch selecting one of the output signal lines of the first and second circuits to provide a color signal to the APC circuit for recording or the APC circuit for playback. In the color signal processing circuit, an emitter follower for outputting a signal are provided to each of the first and second circuits, and a switch operating in synchronization with an operation of the selection switch and providing a voltage for disabling the emitter follower of an un-selected signal line through the un-selected signal line is provided to the switch block. According to the above feature, when a signal line is selected between the signal lines by the selection switch, the un-selected signal line does not affect the other signal line and other circuits.

Abstract: A hinge structure for automobile hoods, including a first bracket fixedly connected to the automobile hood, a second bracket fixedly connected to an automobile body, a link mechanism rotatably supporting both brackets by a link mechanism, an urging mechanism for urging the first bracket into the raising direction thereof, the hinge structure characterized in that a link connecting member having an elastic portion is fixed to the autobomile body at the rotating position of the link mechanism upon fully opening the automobile hood and the link mechanism is connected to the link connecting member by bending the elastic member.
