COLOR TELEVISION RECEIVER

PURPOSE:To eliminate a delay circuit without generating the degradation of the picture quality due to crosscolor interference, by advancing preliminarily the phase of the color signal band by a specified time in comparison with the luminance signal band in respect to group delay characteristics of the SAN (surface elastic wave) filter incorporated in a VIF amplifying circuit. CONSTITUTION:The video signal outputted from a VIF detecting circuit 4 is applied to a luminance signal circuit group 5 and a color signal circuit group 6 and is processed and is outputted to a cathode-ray tube 8 through a matrix circuit 7. The luminance signal circuit group 5 consists of a trap circuit 9 for eliminating chrominance subcarrier components and a video amplifying circuit, and the color signal circuit group 6 consists of a band pass amplifying circuit 11 and a color demodulating circuit 12. In case the time difference between the color signal circuit group 6 and the luminance signal circuit group 5 is corrected, the quantity of advanced phase of the group delay characteristic of the SAW filter is set to 250(ns) considering the relation to the crosscolor interference so that the interference is eliminated practically.
