Abstract A combination of a television receiver and a television signal recording and/or reproducing apparatus, such as a so-called video tape recorder, forming a television system for receiving, recording and/or reproducing television signals and displaying images thereof, wherein the television receiver portion contains two separate signal selecting and receiving circuitries each including a separately tunable tuner, an intermediate frequency stage and a detector stage, and specific television signals received by the respective circuitries are selectively applied by selecting switches in the television receiver portion to the display stage of the portion of the television receiver for display of images or to the portion of the signal recording and/or reproducing apparatus for recording.
A television system comprising the combination of: A. signal recording and/or reproducing apparatus having input and output terminals; and B. a television receiver comprising: 1. a pair of signal selecting and receiving circuitries, each including at least a separately tunable tuner, a video intermediate frequency amplifier, a video detector, and a sound detector, 2. a display stage including sound and video reproducing circuits, 3. first switching means for selectively connecting one of said pair of signal selecting and receiving circuitries to the input terminal of said recording and/or reproducing apparatus, and 4. second switching means for selectively connecting one of said pair of signal selecting and receiving circuitries and the output terminal of said recording and/or reproducing apparatus to said display stage.
