AUDIO PANEL AND CNS

ENTERTAINMENT INPUTS

NOTE: MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2 inputs cannot be completely turned off. Audio level for MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2 can be adjusted by a Garmin-authorized service center.

The Audio Panel provides two stereo auxiliary entertainment inputs: MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2. These inputs are compatible with popular portable entertainment devices such as MP3 and CD players. Two 3.5-mm stereo phone jacks are installed in convenient locations for audio connection. The headphone outputs of the entertainment devices are plugged into the MUSIC 1 or MUSIC 2 jacks.

The current ICS state of isolation affects the distribution of the entertainment input MUSIC 1 (see Table 4-1).

MUSIC 1

MUSIC 1 can be heard by the pilot and copilot when both the PILOT and the COPLT Annunciators are extinguished. MUSIC 1 can also be heard by the pilot when the COPLT Annunciator is illuminated and by the copilot when the PILOT Annunciator is illuminated.

MUSIC 1 MUTING

MUSIC 1 muting occurs when aircraft radio or marker beacon activity is heard. MUSIC 1 is always soft muted when an interruption occurs from these sources. Soft muting is the gradual return of MUSIC 1 to its original volume level. The time required for MUSIC 1 volume to return to normal is between one-half and four seconds.

MUSIC 1 MUTING ENABLE/DISABLE

Pressing and holding the MKR/MUTE Key for three seconds switches MUSIC 1 muting on and off. When switching, either one or two beeps are heard; one beep indicates that music muting is enabled, two beeps indicate music muting is disabled. MUSIC 1 muting is reset (enabled) during power up.

MUSIC 2

MUSIC 2 can be heard only by the passengers and is never muted.

XM RADIO ENTERTAINMENT (OPTIONAL)

XM Radio audio from the Data Link Receiver may be heard by the pilot and passengers simultaneously (optional: requires subscription to XM Radio Service). Refer to the Additional Features Section for more details on the Data Link Receiver.
