Abstract:
1. A broadcast receiver comprising: a tuner having a circuit board formed with a circuit block which down-converts an input radio-frequency signal to select a broadcast signal of a desired channel, a shield case formed in the shape of an almost rectangular parallelepiped to house the circuit board, an input plug which receives the radio-frequency signal, has its base portion connected to the circuit board and its tip portion protruded outward through one of the two end surfaces of the shield case which are opposed to each other in the direction of length, the tip portion being bent through a predetermined angle with respect to the base portion and the base portion being supported by the shield case so that it can rotate on its axis, and a terminal connected to the circuit board and protruded outward through one of the side surfaces of the shield case to output the selected signal; a signal processing unit connected to the terminal and adapted to recover a video signal from the signal output from the terminal; and a display unit adapted to display the video signal recovered by the signal processing unit on a display panel, the tuner being mounted so that one of the four side surfaces of the shield case except the two end surfaces which are opposed to each other in the direction of length is parallel to the display panel of the display unit.
