AUDIO / VIDEO: AUDIO AND VISUAL SYSTEM (w/o Navigation System without Multi-display): Mute Signal Circuit between Radio Receiver and Stereo Component Amplifier
- Mute Signal Circuit between Radio Receiver and Stereo Component Amplifier
DESCRIPTION
This circuit sends a signal to the stereo component amplifier assembly to mute noise. Because of that, the noise produced by changing the sound source ceases.
If there is an open in the circuit, noise can be heard from the speakers when changing the sound source.
If there is a short in the circuit, even though the stereo component amplifier assembly is functioning, no sound, or only an extremely faint sound, can be heard.
