jack automatically becomes a Priority Advisory input, and is heard in the crew headphones.
NOTE
The front jack is no substitute for the certified installation of alerts such as the GPS waypoint or autopilot
tones. These still must be hard wired into the back by your installer. The front jack input will be muted by
radio or intercom unless music is actively playing in the rear connector. Consequently, it is possible that an
alert may be missed unless the mute mode is deselected.
3.9.2
Music Input
When used as a music input, the front panel jack is treated as Music #1 (except the passengers will not be
able to hear the front panel jack in “Music #1 all headsets). However, thanks to the function controls, it can
be distributed to all users (Alternate Music Distribution), depending on the intercom mode (,must be in the
ALL mode). A patch cord is available with 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm (3/32” to 1/8”) adapter cord (PS Part Number
425-006-2535).

Table 3-2 Music Sources
If the passengers want to hear the music input through the front panel jack, the audio pane MUST be in Al-
ternate Music Distribution, and the intercom must be in the ALL or ISO mode.
3.10.1 Music Function (C) (Music Distribution Control)(Copilot’s audio panel only)
Music Function (Mute button) allows you either send the Music 1 input to intercom stations connected to
the copilot’s panel, all of the time, or have other distribution rules apply to your music inputs.
When “Music one all headsets” is selected, Music 1 (from the rear connector input, Pins J2 23 & 24 only)
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.
Music function also allows you to configure your music to be either independent of the intercom mode, or
to make Music 2 dependent on the intercom mode.
When you press Music function again, you’ll hear, “Alternate Music distribution.” 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 to have their music source come on
only when they are not hearing the crew. In addition, the front panel jack input will be distributed to the
passengers in ALL and ISO mode.
