Patent ID: 6922072

Claim:
A signal crosstalk inhibition unit provided to a signal processing apparatus having a plurality of external terminals and signal lines connected to said external terminals, by connecting a signal cable to said signal processing apparatus with inserting a connection terminal of said signal cable into an external terminal, signal being inputted into a signal line and/or outputting signal from said signal line; said signal crosstalk inhibition unit having a first switching element provided between said signal line and the ground, and a connection terminal detection means for detecting whether said connection terminal of said signal cable is connected to said external terminal of said signal processing apparatus or not, and said signal crosstalk inhibition unit making said first switching element into conductive state to connect said signal line to the ground, when said connection terminal detection means does not detect said connection terminal of said signal cable, and said signal crosstalk inhibition unit making said first switching element into unconductive state when said connection terminal detection means detects said connection terminal of said signal cable.
