Full title and description

STB DIN IEC 60107-4:2000-09 — Recommended methods of measurement on receivers for television broadcast transmissions — Part 4: Electrical measurements on multichannel sound television receivers using the two‑carrier FM system. This entry represents the DIN-adopted national publication (catalogue reference 2000-09) of the IEC 60107-4 series and is intended for laboratories and manufacturers performing standardized electrical tests on multichannel sound TV receivers.

Abstract

This standard specifies recommended electrical measurement methods for television receivers that support multichannel sound delivered via the two‑carrier FM system. It consolidates the technical requirements and measurement procedures of the original IEC first edition and its amendment, providing procedures to determine receiver performance parameters relevant to multichannel sound reception, alignment and verification.

General information

• Status: National adoption of the IEC publication (published as DIN/ national edition in 2000).
• Publication date: 2000-09 (catalogue reference / issue: 2000‑09).
• Publisher: Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) — national publication of IEC 60107-4.
• ICS / categories: 33.160.25 (Television receivers / audio & video equipment).
• Edition / version: DIN adoption aligned with IEC 60107-4:1988 consolidated with Amendment 1 (1999).
• Number of pages: 14 (DIN publication listing).

Scope

The standard applies to television receivers designed for reception of broadcast transmissions that include multichannel sound using the two‑carrier FM system. It defines recommended electrical measurement methods, test setups, signal conditions and measurement procedures for verifying multichannel audio performance and related receiver electrical characteristics. The published consolidated IEC version (ED1 + Amd1) is the technical basis for the DIN national text.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and terminology specific to multichannel sound reception using the two‑carrier FM system.
• Required test signals, modulation conditions and reference levels for electrical measurements.
• Procedures for measuring audio channel separation, signal-to-noise ratio, distortion, and carrier balance in multichannel reception.
• Recommended measurement setups (equipment, input conditions, and alignment procedures) for repeatable laboratory testing.
• Consolidation notes reflecting the original 1988 edition and the 1999 amendment where applicable.

Typical use and users

Primary users include test laboratories, TV receiver manufacturers, quality assurance teams, regulatory bodies and standards committees. The standard is used for type testing, conformance verification, design validation and production quality control of receivers that implement multichannel two‑carrier FM sound systems.

Related standards

IEC 60107 series (other parts) and the consolidated IEC 60107-4:1988 + Amendment 1 (1999) are the primary references. National adoptions (DIN and other national bodies) align their texts to the IEC consolidated publication; implementers may also refer to adjacent IEC/ITU recommendations for broadcast signal characteristics and measurement techniques.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is the DIN national publication of IEC 60107-4 (Part 4), providing recommended electrical measurement methods for television receivers with multichannel sound using the two‑carrier FM system.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers terminology, required test signals and levels, measurement procedures (channel separation, SNR, distortion, carrier balance, etc.), and recommended test set‑ups to ensure repeatable electrical measurements on multichannel sound TV receivers.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Test laboratories, TV manufacturers, QA/verification engineers, telecommunications regulators and standards committees working on broadcast receiver performance and conformance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?
