PMA8000G      Pilot Guide R3  

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 Bluetooth 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 Distribu-

tion.

”  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 dis-
tribution. 

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 entertain-
ment or are watching a DVD, but do not want to be excluded from the inter-
com conversations. 

The pilot and copilot will always hear 

Music 1

 through the unit rear connect-

or. This is present in ALL and CREW intercom modes, and available to the 
copilot position in ISO mode. 

Music 2

 is pr ovided to the passenger  positions r egar dless of inter com 

mode, when the audio panel is in 

Standard Music Distribution

. 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

.” 

Pilot music on/off 

A quick press if the MUSIC button will add music to the pilot headset, and 
the music button turns green. In this way, music is available to the pilot in 
any intercom mode, including Isolate.
