The text is based on CCIR-625 line PAL B&G colour television standards adopted by many European, Middle East, African and Asian countries including India. The coverage is also relevant to PAL-I standards adopted by U.K. The American 'NTSC'; French and Russian 'SECAM' colour TV systems have also been accorded due coverage.

It is for the first time that a serious effort has been made to describe functions of colour receiver ICs together with adequae explanation of their peripheral circuitry. Both earlier and present integrated circuits have been included in the text to maintain continuity in circuit development.
While preparing the text, it has been assumed that the reader is familiar with basics of TV technology and circuitry employed in monochrome receivers. However, due care has been taken to present the material in such a way that all those having knowledge of the building blocks of electronics will have no difficulty in learning the essentials of this fascinating subject of television. - from Amzon
