Abstract

PURPOSE:To listen to broadcast having a stereophonic sensor, and also, to listen to a satisfactory broadcast even if an adjacent disturbance station signal is generated, by switching to a pseudo-stereo state or a monaural state in accordance with whether the adjacent disturbance station signal exists or not. CONSTITUTION:A pseudo-stereo circuit 13 receives a monaural signal SM being an output of an AM tuner 12, and outputs pseudo-stereo signals SL', SR' of both L and R channels. On the other hand, an adjacent disturbance station detecting circuit 15 outputs an adjacent disturbance station signal NOB. A switching circuit 14 outputs the pseudo stereo signals SL', SR' in case the signal NOB is not generated, and outputs the monaural signal SM in case the signal NOB is generated. In such a way, in a state that there is no adjacent disturbance, an AM broadcast having a stereophonic sense can be listened to. Also, in a state that there is an adjacent disturbance, the S/N is improved and a satisfactory AM broadcast can be listened to.

Now, in FIG. 1, when there is no adjacent interfering station signal NOB (when the adjacent interfering station signal is below a predetermined level), the switching signal SW is at a high level (rlJ). Therefore, in this case, the switching circuit 14 outputs the pseudo stereo signals 3LL and 3.7 input from the pseudo stereo circuit 13. As a result, there is a stereo feeling (the sound is spacious)
