Abstract
During watching television programs, a composite signal is converted into a digital broadcast video signal by a video decoder, and encoded into a Y/C signal by a video encoder and then, broadcast pictures are displayed on a monitor by using the Y/C signal. Further, when reproducing a DVD, reproduced pictures are displayed on the monitor by using the Y/C signal encoded from a reproduced video signal by a video encoder. When power is supplied, a CPU initializes a recorder section and instructs a CPU to display a message indicating that the initialization process is being performed on the monitor. The CPU on-screen displays the message on the monitor.
Claims2
A television receiver integrated with a recording and reproducing device, comprising:
- a video decoder that converts a composite signal output from a broadcast receiver into a digital signal to output the digital signal;
- a recording and reproducing unit that records the digital signal onto a DVD and reproduces data recorded on the DVD;
- a video encoder that converts at least one of the reproduced data and the digital signal into a Y/C signal to output the Y/C signal;
- a monitor that displays pictures;
- and
- a controller that controls individual units of the television receiver,
- wherein the controller initializes the recording and reproducing unit, the video encoder, and the video decoder after supplying power,
- during the initialization process, the controller on-screen displays a message indicating that the initialization process is being performed on the monitor,
- after completing the initialization process, the controller controls the video encoder so as to convert the digital signal so that broadcast pictures are displayed on the monitor by using the Y/C signal, and
- when the DVD is reproduced, the controller controls the video encoder so as to convert the reproduced signal so that the reproduced pictures are displayed on the monitor by using the Y/C signal.
A television receiver integrated with a recording and reproducing device, comprising:
- a video decoder that converts a composite signal output from a broadcast receiver into a digital signal to output the digital signal;
- a recording and reproducing unit that records the digital signal onto a recording medium and reproduces data recorded on the recording medium;
- a video encoder that converts at least one of the reproduced data and the digital signal into a Y/C signal to output the Y/C signal;
- a monitor that displays pictures;
- and
- a controller that controls individual units of the television receiver,
- wherein the controller initializes the recording and reproducing unit, the video encoder, and the video decoder after supplying power,
- during the initialization process, the controller on-screen displays a message indicating that the initialization process is being performed on the monitor,
- after completing the initialization process, the controller controls the video encoder so as to convert the digital signal so that broadcast pictures are displayed on the monitor by using the Y/C signal or a component signal, and
- when the recording medium is reproduced, the controller controls the video encoder so as to convert the reproduced signal so that the reproduced pictures are displayed on the monitor by using the Y/C signal or the component signal.
