A television receiver intended to decrease the number of expensive SAW filters
to achieve low cost and a compact design. A trap circuit is interposed between
a mixer and a SAW filter. During reception of a television signal, one of the trap
frequencies at which the trap circuit responds is set to a video intermediate frequency
on a television channel adjoining above an intermediate frequency band or a nearby
frequency. The other trap frequency is set to a sound intermediate frequency on
the adjoining television channel or a nearby frequency. During reception of an
FM broadcast signal, the frequency of the FM broadcast signal is converted into
a color subcarrier frequency on the intermediate frequency band or a nearby frequency.
One of the trap frequencies is set to a substantially middle frequency between
the video intermediate frequency and color subcarrier frequency on the intermediate
frequency band.
