Abstract

An automatic tuning system for a television receiver. A first binary-coded signal circuit comprising a plurality of comparators for encoding in a binary signal a signal output from a frequency discriminator is provided together with a second binary-coded signal circuit for encoding in a binary signal the presence and absence of a synchronizing signal in a signal from a synchronizing separation circuit and a signal from a deflector circuit. The first binary-coded signal circuit is connected to two first logic circuits, two flip-flops and a differentiating circuit, while the second binary-coded signal circuit is connected to two second logic circuits, two flip-flops and a differentiating circuit. Each of the flip-flops is reset by the output signal from the logic circuits actuated by said both binary-coded signals, and is set through a plurality of channel selecting switches operated by associated channel selecting buttons. A tuning voltage generating circuit is provided which comprises a high impedance amplifier and an integrating circuit. With such circuit arrangement, the tuning voltage applied to an electronic tuning type tuner is so controlled in dependence on the signal produce…
