Abstract
A multi-channel sound signal received and detected in a TV receiver includes a main channel signal comprising a stereo sum (L+R) signal, a stereo pilot signal having a frequency of f.sub.H equal to the frequency of a horizontal synchronizing signal, and a sub-channel signal obtained by DSB modulation of a sub-carrier having a frequency of 2f.sub.H by a stereo difference (L-R) signal. In a TV multi-channel sound signal demodulator circuit, the sub-carrier is reproduced by a PLL circuit in response to the stereo pilot signal, to demodulate the stereo difference (L-R) signal using the sub-carrier. The stereo difference signal thus demodulated includes a 60Hz noise component due to interference between a sound signal and a video signal. However, the noise component is removed by a high-pass filter provided between a sub-channel signal demodulator circuit and a matrix circuit. Thus, right and left stereo signals R and L outputted from the matrix circuit do not include a noise component.
