Function “B”
Function Button “B” allows you to either send the music 1 input to all
intercom stations, all of the time, or have the normal rules apply to
our music inputs.
When “Music number one distribution, all headsets” is selected, mu-
sic 1 (or the front panel utility jack) will be distributed to all headsets
and is independent of the intercom mode switch. Therefore, even in
the CREW mode, the passengers will hear Music 1, even though they
will not hear the intercom or radios.
This mode allows you to use a single in-flight entertainment source
aboard, and to send it everywhere, even in crew mode. The music
muting will be normal, and follow the selected mode of the crew or
passengers.
When you select Function “B,” for the alternate function, you hear
“Music number one distribution, Crew.” Now, music input 2 will fol-
low the modes in Function “C.”
Function “C”
Function “C” allows you to configure your music to be either inde-
pendent of the intercom mode, or to make Music 2 dependent on the
intercom mode.
When you press Function “C,” you’ll hear, “Alternate Music distribu-
tion.” In this case, Music 2 will be active only when the intercom is in
the CREW mode, and only the passengers will hear it. This distribu-
tion is similar to other brands of audio panels. It allows the passengers
