	I'm searching for information on MTS stereo decoders to add
to my VCR/TV system. I have a Canon HF-600 Stereo VHS VCR that is capable
of recording dual channel audio. This unit has a MPX OUT plug that was
to be connected to a MS-10 Stereo Decoder option that is no longer in
production. 
	Are any such (any brand) MTS Decoders still in production?
	Is the MPX OUT signal a composite FM signal of both audio
channels? The manual simply says this connection is for the MS-10
option but doesn't explain what the actual out-signal is. If this is
a composite stereo (multiplexed) signal, what's the possibility of
my building a decoder using the ECG1655 TV STEREO DECODER Integrated
circuit or equivalent?
	Any information on converting a TV system to Stereo would
be appreciated.

Thanx in advance,
--
