ABSTRACT:
In a system which comprises a plurality of audio components2to5connected to an amplifier unit1and wherein an audio signal from one component selected by a selector17is fed to a speaker6for the production of sound, a control circuit15of the amplifier unit1and each of control circuits22, 32, 43, 53of the respective components are connected to each other by a control bus7. The amplifier unit1transmits a call signal to each of the components2to5and checks whether an answer signal is received therefrom in response to the call signal. When the component failing to return the answer signal is selected by the selector17, the unit1turns on a muting circuit16. This eliminates the likelihood that the speaker will produce noise when the sound volume is increased while a nonconnected component is selected.
