Cut-off control circuits implementing DC-coupling and AC-coupling to CRT cathodes can employ the same preamplifier integrated circuits with few additional components. The preamplifier includes a switching unit for receiving control data, generating a control signal according to control data, and outputting the control signal internally or externally. The switching unit provides a control signal internally to an amplification circuit, when the preamplifier operates in a cut-off control circuit having a DC-coupling to a CRT. With a DC coupling the amplification circuit controls a DC bias applied to a CRT cathode. The switching unit provides a bus control signal externally to a bias circuit, when the preamplifier operates in a cut-off control circuit having an AC-coupling to a CRT.
