Compact disk player-incorporated television receiver having a monitor power control function

Claim 1

A compact disk player (CDP)-incorporated television receiver comprising: a) a television signal receiver, wherein said television receiver receives at least a television signal and extracts first audio and video signals from at least said television signal, and wherein said television receiver outputs said first audio and video signals; b) a compact disk player having a song accompaniment function, wherein said compact disk player receives a first control signal from a television controller, receives a second control signal from an instruction input unit, and outputs a third control signal to said television controller, wherein said compact disk player determines if said first and second control signals respectively equal certain values, and wherein said compact disk player reads data from a compact disk (CD) and outputs second audio and video signals if said first and second control signals respectively equal said certain values; c) a video signal processor, wherein said video signal processor selectively receives said first video signal from said television signal receiver or said second video signal from said compact disk player as a received video signal, processes said received video signal into a final RGB signal, and displays said final RGB signal on a monitor; d) an audio signal processor, wherein said audio signal processor selectively receives said first audio signal from said television signal receiver or a certain audio signal as a received audio signal, processes said received audio signal into a processed audio signal, and outputs said processed audio signal via a sound converter, and wherein said certain audio signal comprises at least said second audio signal from said compact disk player; e) a power source, wherein said power source receives AC power and generates a television power voltage signal for turning on said television signal receiver, a monitor heating voltage signal for turning on said monitor, and a compact disk power voltage signal for turning on said compact disk player; and f) said television controller, wherein said television controller controls an output of said television power voltage signal to said television signal receiver, said monitor heating voltage signal to said monitor, and said compact disk power voltage signal to said compact disk player based on whether said CDP-incorporated television receiver is operating in a television mode or a compact disk mode, wherein said CDP-incorporated television receiver operates in said television mode or said compact disk mode in response to a fourth control signal input via said instruction input unit, wherein said third control signal input by said television controller from said compact disk player conveys information including on-screen character data relating to a compact disk read by said compact disk player, wherein said monitor is turned on by said monitor heating voltage signal when an audio compact disk is read by said compact disk player and wherein said television controller outputs said on-screen character data relating to said audio compact disk to said video signal processor so that said on-screen character data is displayed on said monitor, and wherein said television controller turns off said monitor by commanding said power source to stop outputting said monitor heating voltage signal if said on-screen character data has been displayed for a predetermined period of time.
