Press again, and you will hear “Standard Music Distribution.” In this mode, Music 2 becomes active, and
will always be presented to the passengers on the intercom. Music 1 is only available to the pilot and copi-
lot. The intercom mode switch doesn’t have any affect on the music distribution.
When the music is standard, Music 1 will always go to the pilot and copilot positions, and is never heard by
the passengers. Music 2 is always heard by the passengers, and never heard by the pilot and copilot.
This mode is useful if your passengers have a different interest in entertainment or are watching a DVD, but
do not want to be excluded from the intercom conversations.
The pilot and copilot will always hear Music 1 through the unit rear connector, or a source plugged into the
front panel jack. This is present in ALL and CREW intercom modes, and available to the copilot position in
ISO mode.
The copilot can hear this music source in ISO mode, if desired, as follows: In the ISO mode, hold the Func-
tion (TEL) button, and press the ICS mode button for more than one second. The ICS mode LED will blink
slowly to indicate music is connected to the pilot headset, although the intercom is not.
Music 2 is provided to the passenger positions regardless of intercom mode, when the audio panel is in
Standard Music Distribution, and also in Alternate Music Distribution, but only if the intercom is in the
CREW mode. The pilot and copilot can never hear Music 2, under any condition.
If the passengers always want to hear the source in Music 1, input through the rear connector, regardless of
the intercom mode (ISO/ALL/CRW), select “Music 1 all headsets.”
3.10.2 Music 1 Volume
In general, we recommend adjusting the entertainment volume at the sources, and only using this as a
master gain control. However, the Music 1 PMA8000D input can be adjusted from the front panel, if
desired, by pressing the combinations of keys listed.
The Music 1 volume can be adjusted from the front panel, if desired, by pressing the Music Volume
(SPR) button. When you press and hold the SPR button for more than one second, you’ll hear a chime, and
then the music will either increase or decrease, depending on the last operation. If the music is decreasing,
and you want it louder, release the button, and then hold it again until there a chime, followed by increasing
music. The chime volume is not related to the music volume.
Note: Since it is possible to turn the volume completely off, you may need to turn the volume up if you
don’t hear music when you expect to.
It will take about 10 seconds to go from minimum to maximum volume.
This volume control does NOT affect the volume from the front panel music jack input.
NOTE: Increasing the volume to max level has the potential of increasing undesired noises that could
be coming from music sources. It’s preferred to leave this volume factory set a mid-scale and use
your music source to increase the gain.
