Mute Signal Circuit between Radio Receiver and Television Display Assembly

DESCRIPTION

The television display assembly sends a mute signal to the radio receiver.
The radio receiver controls the volume according to the MUTE signal from the television display assembly.
The MUTE signal is sent to reduce noise and a popping sound generated when switching the mode etc.
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 radio receiver is functioning, no sound, or only an extremely faint sound, can be heard.
