2.5.2.1 Entertainment 2 Mute (J2 Pin 13 & 14)
Connecting J2 pin 13 to pin 14 (or ground) through a SPST switch places the entertainment #2 music
source into the Karaoke Mode. In this mode, incoming music and intercom conversation will not mute the
music for the passengers’ intercom net. This allows uninterrupted music during casual conversation and at
times when radio communications are of lesser importance.
2.5.3
Alternate Music Distribution (J2 Pin 22)
The two music inputs can be configured in the PMA5000EX. There are two configurations available, inde-
pendent, or ICS mode dependent.
If the inputs are independent, Input #1 (and the front jack) is provided to the pilot and copilot. Muting
modes (SoftMute™) are controlled by the front panel “mute” button.
If the unit is configured for Alternate Music Distribution, the music inputs are intercom mode dependent;
input 1 goes to the pilot, copilot and all passengers when the intercom is in the “ALL” mode. Music 2 is
ONLY active in CREW mode, and then provided only to the passengers. The passenger SoftMute™ con-
trol becomes active in CREW.
To enable the alternate music distribution mode, J2, Pin 22 is connected to aircraft ground, either directly,
or through a toggle switch, if control over this mode is desired.
2.6 Adjustments
The PMA5000EX is factory adjusted to accommodate the typical requirements for most aircraft configura-
tions. The Telephone volume control is accessible through the top cover (figure 2-2).
The Unswitched #3 volume control is reached by removing the bottom cover, and is shown in Figure 2-3.
