Dual Dash Control LEDs
The LEDs on your dash control let you know the status of the control
and the source of the sound. With only the orange LED lit you are listen-
ing to the main input and the knob will control the subwoofer (Channel
4) output. When only the blue LED is lit, you are listening to the Aux-
iliary input and the knob controls the Aux volume. When both LEDs
are lit you are listening to the Auxiliary input and the knob controls the
subwoofer (Channel 4). Pressing the knob cycles the control through its
functions. See chart below

Troubleshooting
It is important to remember when installing your LC8i that the engi-
neers who work for the car manufacturers don’t spend too much time
thinking about interfacing after-market products. Therefore you will
most likely have to “modify” your traditional wiring and installation
techniques when working with these types of systems. Many times tradi-
tional 12 volt “turn-on” wires or pre-amp audio signals that you are used
to with aftermarket systems don’t exist on these newer vehicles.
No Power: If the Power LED on your LC8i will not turn on, check
to make sure that the power wire is connected or a fuse has not blown,
and there is plenty of signal present. Are you using a +12v turn on? If so
make sure it has the proper voltage
LC8i Turns Off Intermittently or Turns On Unexpectedly: If you
are using the GTO™ signal sensing to turn on your LC8i yet your system
is turning on or off, this may be due to a cellular phone interface or
navigation system built in to your factory installed source unit. These are
known to stop the audio signal to your source units outputs and to some-
times turn on the amplier even while the audio system is off. In these
situations it is recommended that you connect the Remote In terminal on
the LC8i to a +12-volt switched wire, and set the internal GTO™ jumper
to “Defeat”.
Sounds Distorted: Should your system sound distorted or your speak-
ers are moving way too much, you should make sure you have your lev-
els matched properly and that your amplier gains are set at minimum.
