ABSTRACT:
Signal transmitting operation is effected in a muting circuit when a first constant current source connected to the emitters of first and second transistors is operative with a second constant current source connected to the emitters of third and fourth transistors being inoperative. The signal transmitting operation is not effected in the opposite case. A bias resistor is interposed between the bases of the first and third transistors. To eliminate the popping noise when the power source is turned on, a switching element is connected parallel to the bias resistor and is kept in the ON state for a predetermined period of time after making of the power source.
In an FM radio receiver, the output signal of a detuning detection circuit is applied to the input terminals of first and second mute control circuits, and the muting operation of a pre-amplifier for amplifying a stereo composite signal is controlling by the first mute control circuit while the muting operation of a muting circuit connected to the output of a stereo demodulation circuit is controlled by the second mute control circuit. Discrimination levels of these first and second mute control circuits are set to mutually different levels to eliminate occurrence of the popping noise at the time of changes from tuning to detuning and vice versa.
