In Alternate Music Distribution, Music 1 is provided to everybody in
the ALL intercom mode, and Music 2 becomes active, for the passen-
gers only, when the intercom is in the CREW mode. The front panel
jack is also available to the passengers in the ISO and ALL intercom
modes.
The PMA8000C will announce the Alternate Intercom and Music
distribution functions at unit power up. To defeat the announcement at
power up, hold the COM 3 and AUX buttons for about two seconds.
The feature can be enabled using the same sequence.
NOTE: Function Keys are not available in the split mode.
“Smart” Front Panel Jack
When music 1 is actively playing through the rear panel input, the
front jack automatically becomes an advisory audio input, and is NOT
muted by radio or intercom conversations. This is useful for connect-
ing portable traffic or terrain alert devices. If Music 1 is not active, the
mute mode should be deselected.
Recorder Playback
The internal recorder is always storing the audio from the radio se-
lected for transmit. To play back
the last incoming audio, hold the
RCV (top) button on the radio
selected to transmit for one sec-
ond, and release. The playback
will start. Playback stops if the
radio becomes active, but the new
incoming message will not be
recorded. When the radio stops, press play and you will be in the
same message you had playing.
