CALIBRATION/SETUP
DISTRACTION WARNING: DO NOT SET UP YOUR MS-8 WHILE DRIVING. We recommend
performing these setup procedures while parked at home or after pulling off the road into
apositionthatyouareabsolutelysurepresentsnorisk.Alwaysobeyalltrafclawswhile
driving.
Before you begin
IMPORTANT! The MS-8 will not pass an audio signal through to its outputs until
youhavecongureditaccordingtothesetupproceduredescribedbelow.
The setup procedure consists of four main parts:
Language selection: You will select the language that the MS-8 will use on the display.
See , on page 25.
Input setup: The MS-8 will use the included setup CD to analyze and condition the input
signal for further processing. See , on page 25.
Output setup: You will congure the crossover settings and identify the output channels.
See , on page 26.
Acoustic calibration: The MS-8 will automatically equalize the signal sent to the
loudspeakers and optimize their response for up to four seating positions using the included
binaural microphone headset. See , on page 32.
You must complete all four of these steps in the above sequence. If you stop the setup
procedure before completing all of the steps, the MS-8 will start at the beginning of the last
complete section when you turn it back on. Be sure to have your completed Conguration
Chart (see page 11) handy. It will make conguring the outputs easy.
Start the MS-8 by turning on the vehicle radio or head unit (or turning the vehicle’s key to
the ACC position if you’ve connected the Rem In terminal to ACC power).
Use the remote control’s Up and Down navigation buttons to highlight items on the display.
Press the remote’s Select button to select a highlighted item. Use the remote’s Left and
Right navigation buttons to make changes in items on the display.
