Muting in the VCC-ON mode
1. Muting time
Muting is turned ON for a certain period of time fixed
by external capacitor C13. Fig. 12 shows the relation
between the muting time and C13.
2. Values of AM/FM input coupling capacitors (C1, C2) and value of C13
If muting is released before the DC voltage on the AM input (pin 1) or FM input (pin 2) is stabilized after VCC is turned
ON, pop noise is generated. Therefore, the value of C13 must be determined by the input coupling capacitor value. The
adequate value of C13 for C1, C2 of 10
μF is 10μF or thereabouts. If the value of C1, C2 is increased, the value of C13
is also increased accordingly.

How to extend the dynamic range of the post amplifier
In the Sample Application Circuit of the LA3401 the dynamic range of the post amplifier is extended by connecting
resistors R12, R13 across the virtual GND points (pins 6, 7) of the post amplifier and GND as shown in Fig. 13 to set the
output (pins 5, 8) DC voltages to an adequate value.
The DC voltages on pins 5, 8 are obtained as follows :
