[net.audio] Stereo TV decoder info wanted

rma@mhuxt.UUCP (ATKINS) (09/30/85)

Does anyone have, or know of, a source of information
on Stereo TV decoding. I have a VCR with a "MPX out"
jack which presumably outputs the encoded stereo signal.
On a scope it seems to put out a ~70kHz carrier with some
type of audio modulation when tuned to WNBC (NY) which I 
believe transmits stereo program material at times. Is the
encoding similar to FM radio and is there a one chip decoder
available?

WNBC is alleged to transmit stereo at times.  However, I have had a 
decoder for about a year now and I have never caught them at it.
Last week they were showing a program which announced in large letters that it 
was being broadcast in stereo, so I turned on the decoder.  Nope. Same old
sh*t. They transmit the tv program in one channel and WNBC radio in the
other channel.
