2.4.14.1.1 Entertainment muting
The PMA8000-system incorporates a "Soft Mute" system. This will mute the entertainment devices during
ICS or radio conversation.
Any signal appearing in the unswitched audio inputs will always mute the entertainment sources, even
though the passengers may not hear the audio tone itself.
Press the Mute switch to activate the Karaoke mode (disabling crew SoftMute™), This allows the pilot to
place the entertainment into the background while having the radios in the foreground. This eliminates the
constant interruption of the music while still having the radios a priority.
Caution:
Local oscillators and internal signals from entertainment equipment can cause undesired interfer-
ence with other aircraft systems. Before takeoff, operate the entertainment devices to determine if there is
any adverse effect within the aircraft systems. If any unusual operation is noted in flight, immediately
switch off the entertainment devices.
All additional entertainment devices must be switched off for both takeoff and landing.
