Pre-recorded File Playback (Option 1 only)
The PXE7300 is designed to play up to five special files on a recorded MP3
disc. This can be used for passenger briefing, tour narration, or other in
flight uses.
When one of the five inputs is triggered, a corresponding file on a specially
encoded disc will start to play, regardless of the mode in use.
When the file has completed play, the unit will return to the previous mode
and track, but it will be paused.
The special disc must be labeled as the volume 7300, and the tracks
0001.MP3 through 0005.MP3. Other files, such as music, can be stored on
this disc. The normal files will play, but files with the filename 0001.MP3
through 0005.MP3 will not play unless the respective input is activated, OR
specifically selected from the front panel. This section can be used to test
the disc and determine which files are stored.
See Appendix A for details on storing MP3 files.
Display Dimming (7)
The display is automatically adjusted for ambient light conditions by a pho-
tocell. The aircraft dimmer controls text backlighting
.
