AUDIO PANEL AND CNS
XM SATELLITE RADIO
When no external entertainment music is connected to the audio panel through MUSIC 1 and MUSIC 2 jacks,
XM Satellite Radio audio from the Data Link Receiver may be heard by the pilot and passengers simultaneously
(optional: requires subscription to XM Satellite audio service).
Connecting a stereo input to either MUSIC 1 or MUSIC 2 removes XM Satellite Radio audio from that input.
For example, if passengers prefer music while the pilot listens to XM Satellite Radio, the entertainment audio
would be connected to the MUSIC 2 jack.
Refer to the Additional Features Section for more details on XM Satellite Radio through the G1000.
CLEARANCE RECORDER AND PLAYBACK
The audio panel contains a digital clearance recorder that plays back up to 2.5 minutes of COM signal
recording. Recorded COM audio is stored in separate memory blocks. Audio from the selected COM radio is
recorded and can be played back. Quiet periods between COM reception is not recorded. Anyone able to hear
the selected COM radios is able to hear the COM audio playback.
Once the 2.5 minutes of recording time have been reached, the recorder begins recording over the stored
memory blocks, starting from the oldest block. Powering off the unit automatically clears all recorded blocks.
The PLAY Key controls the playback function.
• Pressing
PLAY once plays the latest recorded memory block, then returns to normal operation.
• Pressing
PLAY again during playback of a memory block plays the preceding recorded block. Each subsequent
press of the
PLAY Key will backtrack through the recorded memory blocks to reach and play any desired
block
• Pressing the
MKR/MUTE Key during playback halts playback and returns the recorder/playback to normal
operation.
