Abstract
A demodulating circuit is capable of controlling stereo separation as a function of an electric field strength. An intermediate frequency signal not limited obtained from an intermediate frequency circuit is utilized as a signal representative of the level associated with the electric field strength. Stereo separation is discontinuously controlled as a function of the signal representative of the electric field strength. The separation is maintained in the possible maximum value in the region exceeding a predetermined value of the electric field strength but is abruptly decreased to a given value between a stereo state and a monaural state from the above described maximum value (stereo state) when the electric field strength becomes smaller than the above described predetermined value and the separation is changed as a function of the electric field strength in the region smaller than the above described value of the electric field strength.
