A tuner block in which a modulator and an IF/demodulator circuit are integrally
formed. The tuner block has a casing for accommodating a tuner, the IF/demodulator
circuit and the modulator, and sixteen pins consecutively disposed at an outside
of the casing. A number of the pins is reduced as compared with a conventional
tuner block by supplying an electrical power to the modulator and the tuner through
a common pin, dispensing with pins carrying unnecessary signals and pins which
carry no signal and rearranging other pins. Potential for noise and interference
between signals is reduced by maximizing displacements of connector pins which
carry signals which are likely to interact. A switching arrangement provides for
utilizing either a conventional tuner block or a tuner block according to the present
invention on a circuit board.
