Abstract
A processing section for a television receiver for processing stereo/dual sound signals having a first sound carrier modulated by a first sound signal, and a second sound carrier modulated both by a second sound signal and by a pilot signal which, in turn, is modulated by a stereo/dual sound identifying signal. The processing section does not require a reference frequency from the synchronizing or intermediate frequency portion of the television receiver for recovering the pilot signal, but, rather, uses the pilot signal to control an oscillator in a phase-locked loop which loop is used to generate a signal for down-converting the frequency range of at least the modulated second sound carrier thereby obviating the need for expensive, precision filtering components.
