Abstract

A television decoder circuit apparatus processes a television audio signal and makes an identification of any of a television stereo audio signal and a television dual language audio signal, such that decoder circuit apparatus has both the ability to detect a television stereo audio signal and the ability to detect a television dual language audio signal. The television decoder circuit apparatus includes a period detection circuit, an energy measurement circuit, and television audio signal decision circuit, in some embodiments, the period detection circuit and energy measurement circuit operate in a digital domain. A method detects a period of the television audio signal, measures an energy of the television audio signal, and makes the identification of the television stereo audio signal, based on agreement of said period and said energy on the identification.
