Use a DTMF receiver chip to detect the tones. Feed the PA audio input
into the chip and connect the DV output to the PA Mute input.
Probably a $5 investment in parts, or a minimal drain on your junkbox
:-)

You'll still get a brief burst of tone (20-50msec) at the beginning
but the rest of the tone will be muted.
