Abstract

In a television receiver with a digital processing system for processing display parameters, a CRT discharge detector produces a signal in response to discharge of the cathode ray tube of the television receiver, and a control-reset circuit employs a signal for generating one or more reset pulses for holding the registers of the signal processing circuits in their reset state for the duration of the cathode ray tube discharge. Following termination of the discharge, the reset signal is removed which allows the signal processing circuits to resume their normal function with unaltered data.
