Abstract
A system for preventing crosstalk in a stereo television receiver includes a signal selection switch for selecting between signals produced by a demodulator and signals received at an auxiliary input, a controller for generating a switching control signal and circuitry for muting the audio demodulator during channel change and when said auxiliary input is selected in response to said switching control signal.
Claims7
A system for preventing crosstalk between inputs of a device having a plurality of inputs, said system comprising:
- a source of a first signal;
- means for receiving a second signal;
- control means for generating a selection control signal;
- signal selection means coupled to said control means and having a first input coupled to said source of said first signal and a second input coupled to said means for receiving said second signal respectively, and being responsive to said selection control signal for selectively producing one of said first and second signals at an output;
- and
- muting means coupled to said control means and to said source of said first signal and responsive to said selection control signal for generating a muting signal and applying said muting signal to said source of said first signal for muting said source of said first signal when said second signal is selected.

A television audio selection system comprising:
- a demodulator having a mute input terminal;
- a signal selection switch having an audio input terminal for receiving an audio input signal from said demodulator, said signal source selection switch having an auxiliary input terminal for receiving an input signal from an auxiliary source, said source selection switch also having a terminal for receiving a selection signal;
- control means having an output terminal for providing said selection signal to said selection terminal;
- and
- logic means arranged between said output terminal and said mute input terminal of demodulator for muting said demodulator in response to said selection signal when said auxiliary source is selected.
