摘要:
A noise level of an output signal is maintained low. An adjacent interference detecting unit compares a signal level of a wide band signal which is a desired station signal of a relatively wide band and a signal level of a narrow band signal which is a desired station signal of a relatively narrow band, and judges that adjacent interference has occurred when the signal level of the narrow band signal is less than or equal to a predetermined level even though the signal level of the wide band signal is greater than or equal to a predetermined level. A variable amplifier (36) attenuates an L−R signal and forms a monophonic signal when the signal level of the narrow band signal is lower than a predetermined level. With this process, when there is adjacent interference, a signal level of the narrow band signal at which the attenuating unit starts attenuating the L−R signal is changed to a relatively high value.
