A picture pause selecting apparatus and method for a double-wide television for pausing a picture selected by a user. The apparatus operates according to the user selection regardless of the picture mode and regardless of which picture the user selects in the double-picture mode. The apparatus has first and second memories for storing each frame of the left and right picture signals. First and second switches selectively output paused signals and left and right picture signals from first and second memories. The picture pause selecting method reads the input of a picture select button of a key input portion to determine whether to select a wide-picture mode or a double-picture mode; displays a wide-picture if the wide-picture mode is selected; pauses the wide-picture if a wide-picture pause button of the key input portion is pressed during display of the wide-picture mode; displays a double-picture if the double-picture mode is selected; and pauses a left or right picture if a left or right picture pause button is pressed during display of the double-picture mode. Thus, when the picture pause button is pressed in the wide-picture mode, the wide-picture in its entirety is paused as is, and when the picture pause button is pressed in the double-picture mode, either of the left or right picture is paused. |
