A television system containing a video CD reproducer intended for reducing picture distortion (aspect distortion) occurring when picture information recorded on a video CD in a standard different from the television standard is reproduced for displaying a picture on a cathode-ray tube of the television. To reduce the aspect distortion, the television system containing a video CD reproducer comprises determination means for determining the standard type of picture information recorded on a video CD played back by the video CD reproducer and deflection control means for controlling deflection of a video signal in response to the determination result of the determination means.
