The passenger’s intercom also has a SoftMute™ circuit. If the passengers hear the radio, or talk on the in-
tercom, the music will mute. If the audio panel is in CREW mode, then the radio reception will not affect
the passenger music.
Passengers also have a Mute Off or “Karaoke” mode. If the passengers are listening to the music 1 input or
front panel input, their Mute Off is controlled by the front panel “Mute” button. If the passengers are listen-
ing to the music 2 input, their Karaoke Mode is activated by an external switch installed either in the panel,
or connected to the AUX button logic output pin on the PMA8000G.
3.7.1 Music Distribution (DISTR)
The Music button allows you either distribute the music 1 input to all intercom stations, all of the time, or
have other distribution rules apply to your music inputs.
When “Music one all headsets” is selected (press and hold MUSIC), music 1 (from the rear connector in-
put, Pins J2 23 & 24 only) or Bluetooth will be distributed to all headsets and is independent of the inter-
com 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.
Press and hold MUSIC again, this will select “Music one, pilot”. This will allow the Music 1 and/or Blue-
tooth to be distributed to the pilot’s headsets while the copilot and passengers listen to Music #2.
Press and hold MUSIC 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 copilot. The intercom mode switch doesn’t have any effect on the music distribution.
When the music distribution 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. This is present in ALL and
CREW intercom modes, and available to the copilot position in ISO mode.
The pilot can hear this music source in ISO mode, if desired, as follows: In the ISO mode, hold the (Music)
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. The pilot and copilot can never hear Music 2, under any condition.
