The stereo indicator circuit operates by detecting the 38 kHz signal generated when the 19 kHz pilot tone is passed through the frequency doubling circuit in the decoder. This 38 kHz signal is fed through a limiting resistor and blocking capacitor to a shunt rectifier. The voltage derived from this shunt rectifier is applied to the base of a transistor. The transistor remains cut off when the signal is absent and is turned on when it is present. Therefore, ...
