Abstract

Disclosed herein is a digital automatic fine tuning method and apparatus, which is capable of detecting a difference between a nominal frequency and an intermediate frequency generated in a tuner using a counter, and applying the counted data of the counter as a fine tuning value for the intermediate frequency without using a decoder by controlling the reset and preset operations of the counter that counts the frequency of the intermediate frequency.
