Abstract

A circuit is disclosed for establishing proper video output voltages in a color television receiver prior to setting the receiver's G2 voltage. In the preferred embodiment, the circuit includes three emitter follower stages, each coupled to the output of a video amplifier. The collectors of the emitter follower stages are coupled to a supply voltage through a common resistance. A two position switch is connected across the common resistance such that, during normal receiver operation, closure of the switch shunts the common resistance. When G2 set-up is to be effected, the switch is opened so that a predetermined voltage is dropped across the common resistance and the three emitter follower stages have similar, predetermined D.C. output voltages.
