Yes, FM receivers switch to mono when reception is

also, because of the L-R, L+R FM stereo derivation, out of phase

was 40 years ago when I studied that, and; b) the majority of music
doesn't have considerable out of phase content, so it's not something
I've been overly concerned with.
Mono compatibility is always important. First off all there is still
much "phase content" and beside that other things are important, e.g.
the sentiment we've got of a ping-pong delay could become completely
different from hard left-right to mono.
