Abstract
Abstract In a television receiver, a change in a horizontal frequency of an input television signal between a high frequency and a low frequency is detected. A horizontal oscillation frequency, a horizontal deflection drive pulse width, and a horizontal blanking period are changed in a first predetermined sequence in response to a change in the horizontal frequency of the input television signal from the high frequency to the low frequency. The horizontal oscillation frequency, the horizontal deflection drive pulse width, and the horizontal blanking period are changed in a second predetermined sequence in response to a change in the horizontal frequency of the input television signal from the low frequency to the high frequency. The first and second predetermined sequences are opposite to each other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A television receiver comprising: detecting means for detecting changes in a horizontal frequency of an input television signal between a high frequency and a low frequency; first changing means responsive to the detecting means for changing a horizontal oscillation frequency, a horizontal deflection drive pulse width, and a horizontal blanking period in a first predetermined sequence in response to a change in the horizontal frequency of the input television signal from the high frequency to the low frequency; and second changing means responsive to the detecting means for changing the horizontal oscillation frequency, the horizontal deflection drive pulse width, and the horizontal blanking period in a second predetermined sequence in response to a change in the horizontal frequency of the input television signal from the low frequency to the high frequency, wherein the first and second predetermined sequences are opposite to each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
143 words
A television receiver comprising: detecting means for detecting changes in a horizontal frequency of an input television signal between a high frequency and a low frequency; first changing means responsive to the detecting means for changing a horizontal oscillation frequency, a horizontal deflection drive pulse width, and a horizontal blanking period in a first predetermined sequence in response to a change in the horizontal frequency of the input television signal from the high frequency to the low frequency; and second changing means responsive to the detecting means for changing the horizontal oscillation frequency, the horizontal deflection drive pulse width, and the horizontal blanking period in a second predetermined sequence in response to a change in the horizontal frequency of the input television signal from the low frequency to the high frequency, wherein the first and second predetermined sequences are opposite to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
81 words
The television receiver of claim 1 wherein the first changing means comprises means for changing the horizontal blanking period before changing the horizontal oscillation frequency, and means for changing the horizontal deflection drive pulse width after the change of the horizontal oscillation frequency; and wherein the second changing means comprises means for changing the horizontal deflection drive pulse width before changing the horizontal oscillation frequency, and means for changing the horizontal blanking period after the change of the horizontal oscillation frequency.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The television receiver of claim 1 wherein the high frequency and the low frequency of the horizontal frequency of the input television signal are equal to 31.5 KHz and 15.75 KHz respectively.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
128 words
A method in a television receiver, comprising the steps of: detecting changes in a horizontal frequency of an input television signal between a high frequency and a low frequency; changing a horizontal oscillation frequency, a horizontal deflection drive pulse width, and a horizontal blanking period in a first predetermined sequence in response to a change in the horizontal frequency of the input television signal from the high frequency to the low frequency; and changing the horizontal oscillation frequency, the horizontal deflection drive pulse width, and the horizontal blanking period in a second predetermined sequence in response to a change in the horizontal frequency of the input television signal from the low frequency to the high frequency, wherein the first and second predetermined sequences are opposite to each other.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
128 words
A method in a television receiver, comprising the steps of: detecting changes in a horizontal frequency of an input television signal between a high frequency and a low frequency; changing a horizontal oscillation frequency, a horizontal deflection drive pulse width, and a horizontal blanking period in a first predetermined sequence in response to a change in the horizontal frequency of the input television signal from the high frequency to the low frequency; and changing the horizontal oscillation frequency, the horizontal deflection drive pulse width, and the horizontal blanking period in a second predetermined sequence in response to a change in the horizontal frequency of the input television signal from the low frequency to the high frequency, wherein the first and second predetermined sequences are opposite to each other.
