Receiving device and receiving method
View Patent ↗A receiving device includes: a receiver which receives a broadcast signal including an audio signal and obtains a baseband signal of a received signal; a demodulator which obtains the audio signal by demodulating the baseband signal; a middle frequency range detector which detects a signal level of a middle frequency component in a frequency range of the baseband signal; a high frequency range detector which detects a signal level of a high frequency component in the frequency range of the baseband signal; and a processing circuit which sets an effect amount of high-cut processing based on a level difference between the signal level of the middle frequency component and the signal level of the high frequency component. The receiving device further includes a high-cut filtering device which performs the high-cut processing on the audio signal in accordance with a set value of the effect amount.
