AUDIO / VISUAL: AUDIO AND VISUAL SYSTEM: 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 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 is normal, no sound, or only an extremely small sound, can be produced.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER




(a) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage:





OK -- PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE

NG -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (RADIO RECEIVER - STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER)




(a) Disconnect the radio receiver connector R1 and stereo component amplifier connector S22.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. REPLACE WOOFER BOX SPEAKER ASSEMBLY (BUILT-IN STEREO COMPONENT AMPLIFIER)
(a) Replace the stereo component amplifier and check if the audio system operates normally.
OK:
The audio system operates normally.
OK -- END

NG -- REPLACE RADIO RECEIVER
