This function is useful if you are copying weather from AWOS on
Com 2, but have clearance delivery tuned in on Com 1. With the
monitor active, the AWOS audio will be silenced when clearance
delivery starts to speak.
NOTE: This mode is NOT remembered through power cycles, to
prevent inadvertent blocking of desired audio on your next trip.
Function “C”
Function “C” has three modes. The first allows you to either send
music 1 input to all intercom stations, all of the time, or have the
normal rules apply to our music inputs.
When “Music number one, all headsets” is selected, music 1
(connected through the rear jack or the MP3 player) will be distrib-
uted 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.
Function “C” 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 Function “C,” again, you’ll hear, “Alternate Music
distribution.” In this case, Music 2 will be active only when the inter-
com is in the CREW mode, and only the passengers will hear it. It
allows the passengers to have their music source come on only when
they are not hearing the crew. If the passengers want to hear the mu-
sic input through the front panel jack, the audio panel MUST be in
Alternate Music Distribution, and the intercom must be in the ALL
or ISO mode.
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 copilot. The intercom mode switch doesn’t have any affect on
the music distribution.
When the music is standard distribution, 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
