A channel selection apparatus is provided for allowing receipt of signals broadcast according to the NTSC, SECAM and PAL broadcast modes. A controller discriminates the signal's broadcast mode based on the horizontal sync signal included in the received signal and alters a circuit connection path. Accordingly, a desired broadcast mode can be automatically selected without requiring any particular switch manipulation by a user. Further, a video signal processing path is separated from a sound signal processing path, in order to obtain excellent sound quality, even when receiving a stereo broadcast. Also, it is possible to easily automate the manufacturing process for the apparatus, thereby improving productivity.
