Mute Signal Circuit Between Radio Receiver and Stereo Component Amplifier

Mute Signal Circuit between Radio Receiver and Stereo Component Amplifier

DESCRIPTION
Mute signals are sent to the stereo component amplifier to mute noises that occur when muting the sound source. If the navigation system is available, the mute signal also mutes CD audio, etc. when the navigation system's voice guidance is on.

If the circuit is open: 1) noise will occur when the sound source is changed, and 2) if the navigation system is available, CD audio, etc. will not mute while the voice guidance is on.

If the circuit is shorted: 1) even if the amplifier is functioning properly, no sounds or only barely audible sounds will be output.
