CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
MUTE SIGNAL PATH DESCRIPTION
V Mute 2 FOR SURROUND MUTE:
The V Mute 1 signal explained in the Audio Video Mute signal path explanation is also routed to the base of
Q024 turning it ON. The high produced on its emitter is now called V Mute 2 which is routed to the
Surround PWB via the PSU1 connector pin (14). V Mute 2 is labeled VMute on the Surround PWB. This
high arrives at the anode of the following diodes;
1. DS27, which puts a high on the base of QS06 turning it ON which grounds pin (11) of IC15 placing the
Center Audio output IC into Mute.
2. DS49, which puts a high on the base of QS20 turning it ON. This grounds the Sub Woofer audio output.
3. DS45, which puts a high on the bases of QS17 and QS16 turning them ON. This grounds the Out to Hi-
Fi outputs.
4. DS37, which puts a high on the base of QS10, turning it ON. This grounds the Rear audio output
ERRMUTE PIN 7 of the PSU1 CONNECTOR:
The ERRMute signal explained in the Audio Video Mute signal path explanation is routed to the Surround
PWB via the PSU1 connector pin (7). See the Audio Video Mute Signal Path explanation and diagram for
details concerning the generation of the ERRMute signal. ERRMute is labeled Mute on the Surround PWB.
This high arrives at the anode of the following diodes;
1. DS24 which puts a high on the base of QS04 and QS05 turning them ON. This grounds the audio input
to the Center audio output IC, IS15 at pins (4 and 2).
2. DS48 which puts a high on the base of QS20, turning it ON. This grounds the Sub Woofer audio output.
3. DS44 which puts a high on the bases of QS17 and QS16 turning them ON. This grounds the Out to Hi-
Fi outputs.
4. DS34 which puts a high on the base of QS08 and QS09 turning them ON. This grounds the audio input
to the Rear audio output IC, IS16 at pins (4 and 2).
ERRMUTE PIN 14 of the PSU2 CONNECTOR:
The ERRMute signal explained in the Audio Video Mute signal path explanation is routed to the Surround
PWB via the PSU2 connector pin (6). ERRMute places the DSP Audio Module into Mute when the
Microprocessor deems it necessary. See the Audio Video Mute Signal Path explanation and diagram for
details concerning the generation of the ERRMute signal.
RSpkOff (REAR SPEAKER OFF) IS01 PIN 4:
The Rear Speaker Off signal is output from IS01 pin (4). This high arrives at the anode of the following
diodes;
1. DS36 which puts a high on the base of QS10 turning it ON which grounds pin (11) of IC16 placing the
Rear Audio output IC into Mute.
2. DS35 which puts a high on the base of QS08 and QS09 turning them ON. This grounds the audio input
to the Rear audio output IC, IS16 at pins (4 and 2).
CSpkOff (CENTER SPEAKER OFF) IS01 PIN 4:
The Center Speaker Off signal is output from IS01 pin (5). This high arrives at the anode of the following
diodes;
1. DS26 which puts a high on the base of QS06 turning it ON which grounds pin (11) of IC15 placing the
Center Audio output IC into Mute.
2. DS25 which puts a high on the base of QS04 and QS05 turning them ON. This grounds the audio input
to the Rear audio output IC, IS15 at pins (4 and 2).
