Abstract

A video shaping control circuit is utilized to control a video shaping network in a television receiver for controlling the sharpness of the image displayed on a television picture tube. The video shaping control circuit is responsive to an AGC signal such that the sharpness of the displayed image is reduced when the receiver is receiving a weak signal thereby reducing snow or other noise which would otherwise be displayed on the picture tube.
