ABSTRACT:
In an on-screen display (OSD) circuit and position detector, the OSD circuit includes a menu OSD circuit for outputting video signals Rm, Gm and Bm and switch signal Ym, a pointer OSD circuit for selecting displayed menu items and for outputting video signals Rp, Gp and Bp and switch signal Yp, and a pointer or menu selecting circuit for receiving the video signals of the menu OSD circuit, Rm, Gm and Bm and switch signal Ym as inputs, and receiving the video signals of the pointer OSD circuit, Rp, Gp and Bp and switch signal Yp as inputs to then first select the output of the pointer OSD circuit, and then to selectively output the output of the menu OSD circuit if there is no output from the pointer OSD circuit. A method of remotely controlling a television receiver using the OSD circuit is performed such that a video signal applied to the television receiver is displayed on a screen, if there is a necessity/desire of controlling the television receiver, a control menu and a pointer are together displayed, the position of the pointer is moved to a desired menu by a remote controller, and then the desired menu is selected by a selection signal of the remote controller, thereby operating the television receiver in a desirable way.
