This question is in regards to recent discussion of building an MTS stereo decoder as described in February issue of Radio-Electronics. Some of you stated that building this decoder is not practical because there is no DBX noise reduction chip available to consumer. Does anyone know the manufacturers name and/or address, phone, who makes this chip???? Thank you. -- -- NAME: Michael Umansky (misha) E-MAIL: ucbvax!hplabs!nsc!daisy!misha WORK: Daisy Systems Corp. 700B Middlefield Road Mountain View, CA 94039-7006 (415) 960-7166 (work) HOME: 94 Cassia Ct.

It's not available. It isn't available on a chip. Requires several chips and muchos parts. However, Understand that Sony and I believe Toshiba have some samples of a chip in the hands of some OEM's for eval. Strictly prototype. Parts count, however, has not been reduced. Still out a ways, yet.

Let's try it again. There is no MTS-type DBX noise reduction chip available anywhere, to anyone, at any price. It's a safe bet that one will be available someday. If you're interested in licensing the patents for the circuit, I presume that you should talk to Zenith. -- Doug Pardee -- CalComp -- {hardy,savax,seismo,decvax,ihnp4}!terak!doug
