ABSTRACT:
A video signal processor is used to receive programs in the form of a composite video signal which incorporates a video broadcast channel, a main audio channel and an additional audio channel. The main audio channel may carry a standard audio track for the program while the additional audio channel carries a different audio track, such as dialogue in a foreign language, DVS audio track, or a modified audio track that has been changed from the main audio track slightly. The video signal processor selects one of the audio tracks as the active audio track based on the contents of the additional audio channels and/or a viewers' preferences. The video signal processor may be a stand-alone device, or may be incorporated into a TV receiver, VCR, DVD player, etc.
