    摘要: A scrambled television program that is received and recorded in a scrambled fashion includes program code and corresponding key codes for use in descrambling the recorded scrambled signal. The program codes and key codes are retained in a memory so that upon reproduction the key code can be read out of the memory and fed to a descramble pattern generator for descrambling the reproduced scrambled signal. By placing the program code and key code at the end of the scrambled program the scrambled signal cannot be descrambled until the entire program has been first received. By dividing the memory into permanent and temporary memories and adding an identification code to the transmitted scrambled signal, which selects either the permanent or temporary memory, and counting the number of times that the temporary memory is read out there can be a limitation placed on the number of times thatthe scrambled program is reproduced and decoded for viewing. Once a selected number is reached the contents of the temporary memory are erased, thereby preventing descrambling of the reproduced signal.

    摘要: Digitally controllable ICs 1, 2, 3 in an electronic equipment are connected through control bus lines. Switch means is provided for disconnecting one of the digitally controllable IC from the control bus. The control bus is not disabled when such IC is turned off or is not occupied when the IC is operating in its internal processing mode. The communication between the remaining ICs through the control bus can be kept enabled.

    摘要: A digital control system for electronic apparatus (1) such as a television receiver, employs an internal bus (8) and includes at least one master controller (6) and a plurality of operation circuits (2 to 5) connected via control bus lines (9, 10) so that, during normal operation of the electronic apparatus (1), the master controller (6) can carry out predetermined control operations relative to the respective circuit blocks (2 to 5). During testing and/or adjustment, an auxiliary master controller (12) is connected to the control bus lines (9, 10) in order to control the operational circuits (2 to 5) in place of the master controller (6), while holding the master controller (6) in the slave mode.

    摘要: A television signal receiving system for use with a scrambled television signal or a standard television signal includes a recording and reproducing circuit which records and reproduces the received television signal and a monitor for displaying the received or reproduced television signal. A descrambling circuit descrambles the scrambled television signal either as received or reproduced to generate a descrambled television signal when a detector detects the exitence of a scrambled television signal and generates a control signal in response thereto. A switch responds to the control signal and automatically supplies to the monitor either the descrambled television signal or the standard television signal according to the type of television signal being received or reproduced.
