A wireless receiver includes an RSSI generation circuit that obtains RSSI output corresponding to a carrier strength level of a received RF signal; a lookup table from which a threshold value corresponding to temperature information from a temperature sensor is read based on the temperature information; a comparison circuit that generates comparison output when the RSSI output is below the threshold value read from the lookup table, in which the threshold value is one input, and the RSSI output from the RSSI generation circuit is the other input; and a muting circuit that closes a signal line of an audio signal demodulated from the RF signal, and cuts off output of the audio signal, based on the comparison output from the comparison circuit. The above configuration enables the wireless receiver to eliminate fluctuation of a reception reaching distance relative to temperature change, and ensure stable mute operation.
