This muting circuit prevents the loud "pop" (due

protects the transistors from destruction.
Speaker Protection Circuit (See Fig. l-l and Fig. 1-2)
When the excessive current flows into the power
transistors, B+ voltage decreases. Therefore, 4301
turns on, biasing the base of Q302, and Q302
conducts. This removes the bias voltage at the
base of Q306 and Q306 turns off. The relay is
not activated by off state of Q306. According-
ly, the speaker is cut off from the amplifier
circuit.
When the positive dc component presents at the
speaker output terminal, C310 is charged up as
shown in Fig. l-2. Q303 turns on, Q306 turns off
and the relay RY301 is not activated (4304 re- Fig. 1-2.

The reverse voltage (about - 1.7 V) that turns off
Q306 immediately reduces, and the positive poten-
tial is applied to the base of Q305. Q305 turns on
and Q306 turns off, cutting off the operation of
RY301. Therefore, no pop noise presents on the
speaker output.
