PCT No. PCT/JP90/00136 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 11, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 11, 1990 PCT Filed Feb. 5, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/09719 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 23, 1990.The present invention is ingeniously conceived for a transmission system for a first television signal so as to enable a first television signal of a wide aspect screen to be transmitted in one channel and the transmitted television signal to be reproduced on a receiver of a conventional aspect screen. To this end, a screen dividing circuit (12) divides a wide aspect screen signal into a center panel signal and side panel signals. The center panel signal is supplied via a delay circuit (13) to an adder (16). The side panel signals are so allocated as to provide horizontal and vertical signals. The horizontal side signal is supplied via a horizontal overscan multiplexing circuit 16 to the adder (16) where it is multiplexed on a horizontal overscan area of the center panel signal. In the vertical overscan multiplexing circuit, the vertical side signal is time compressed and reverse processed for each line to provide it in a continuous form. The output of a vertical overscan multiplexing circuit (20) is supplied to a switch (18) where it is time division multiplexed on vertical overscan areas of the center panel signal which is sent from the adder (16) via a delay circuit (17).
