Abstract From the Canadian patent

Disclosed is an AM stereo receiver capable of receiving signals representing at least two different types of AM stereo systems, but using an integrated circuit (IC) decoder designed to properly decode received signals representing only one of the two types of systems. The receiver includes circuitry coupled to the IC which adapts the IC for also properly decoding received signals representing the second type of AM stereo system as well. Circuitry is also disclosed for automatically detecting which type of AM stereo system is being received and for configuring the receiver's decoding circuits to properly decode the received stereo signals. -1-
