Function “C”

Function “C” allows you to configure your music to be either inde-

pendent of the intercom mode, or to make Music 2 dependent on the

intercom mode.

When you press Function “C,” you’ll hear, “Alternate Music distribu-

tion.” 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.

Press again, and you will hear “Standard Music Distribution.” In this

mode, the music inputs are independent. Music 2 becomes active, and

will always be presented only to the passengers on the intercom. Mu-

sic 1 is only available to the pilot and copilot. The intercom mode

switch doesn’t have any affect on the music distribution.

When the music is independent, 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 by the pilot and copilot.

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.

button will always control the Mute function for music 1. It will also
