Abstract
In a television receiver with an optical disk reproducing function, when reproduction of an optical disk ends and stops in an optical disk reproducing part and a screen saver operates, a main control part detects the operation of the screen saver and counts up a timer. When an operation input is not done for a predetermined time period, control is performed so as to stop electric power supply to the optical disk reproducing part. Then, when a power source of the optical disk reproducing part is stopped, the main control part stops power supply to the other parts of the receiver and the receiver shifts to a wait state.
Claims7
A television receiver with an optical disk reproducing function, comprising:
- a body;
- broadcast signal reproducing means for receiving and reproducing a broadcast signal;
- and
- optical disk reproducing means for reading out and reproducing video and sound data recorded on an optical disk;
- wherein the television receiver reproduces either the broadcast signal or the video and sound data recorded on the optical disk based on an operation input to the body and outputs video and sound;
- the optical disk reproducing means comprises disk control means for starting a screen saver when reproduction of the optical disk stops;
- the broadcast signal reproducing means comprises main control means for making control to reproduce the broadcast signal or controlling the disk control means to reproduce the optical disk, based on the operation input;
- the disk control means comprises means for setting and storing an automatic power source stop function of stopping the screen saver and stopping a power source supply to the optical disk reproducing means when the operation input is not done for a predetermined time period with the screen saver operating;
- and
- the main control means detects whether or not the automatic power source stop function is valid from the disk control means, and when the function is valid and the operation input is not done for the predetermined time period with the screen saver operating, the main control means makes the disk control means to stop the screen saver and stops the power source supply to the optical disk reproducing means, and thereafter the main control means stops a power source supply to the receiver.
