## Discrepancy

SEAT 2A FOOTREST MOTOR HAD BAD ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL COMING FROM IT. *S/D* THE CAUSE OF THE ODOR WAS FOUND TO BE EMANATING FROM THE VIDEO DISTRIBUTION BOX, LOCATED UNDER THE SEAT. THE VDB, PART OF THE B/E2000M IN-SEAT VIDEO SYSTEM, WAS REPLACED.  THE MANUFACTURER, SEXTANT IN-FLIGHT SYSTEMS, HAS BEEN ALERTED AND WILL PROVIDE ANY FINDINGS WHEN THE UNIT REACHES THEIR REPAIR FACILITY.
