Press again, and you will hear “Standard Music Distribution. In this
mode, the music inputs are independent. Music 2 is active, and will
always be presented only to the passengers on the intercom. Music 1
is only available to the pilot and copilot. The intercom mode switch
doesn’t have any affect on the music distribution.
This mode is useful if your passengers have a different interest in en-
tertainment or are watching a DVD, but do not want to be excluded
from the intercom conversations.
Music Muting (6)
There are two SoftMute™ muting circuits. The front panel "Mute"
button has four modes, and controls the Mute function for music 1.
The SoftMute™ circuit will cut the music out whenever there is con-
versation on the radio, the intercom, or both, depending on the
“Mute” mode selected. When that conversation stops, the music re-
turns to the previous level comfortably, over a second or so.
The mute mode functions are controlled through sequential pushes of
the Mute button, and include annunciations of the mode selected.
Mode 1 - music will mute with either intercom or radio - MUTE but-
ton is lit. Voice annunciation is "mute on."
Mode 2 - “Karaoke” mode - music will not mute except during trans-
missions.- MUTE LED is OFF. Annunciation is "mute off."
Mode 3 - Radio will mute music, but intercom will not mute music -
MUTE LED is OFF. Annunciation is "radio mute."
Mode 4 - Radio will not mute music, intercom will
mute music - MUTE LED is OFF. Annunciation is
"intercom mute."
The passenger’s intercom also has a SoftMute™
circuit. If the passengers hear the radio, or talk on
the intercom, the music will mute. If the audio
panel is in CREW mode, then the radio reception
will not affect the passenger music.
