Abstract

A deflection generator of a television receiver includes a trace switch that during normal mode of operation is switched at a deflection rate to generate scanning current in a deflection winding. The deflection generator includes a retrace capacitance for forming a retrace resonant circuit with the deflection winding to produce a retrace pulse voltage. A load circuit is coupled to the deflection generator and is energized by the retrace pulse voltage during normal operation. A remote control circuit develops a remote ON-OFF command signal. A standby circuit is series coupled with the deflection generator and is responsive to a remote ON-OFF command signal for producing a substantially short circuited trace switch upon receipt of the OFF-state of the command signal. The retrace pulse voltage collapses and places the load circuit in a standby mode of operation.
