www.jbl.comQUICK START GUIDEMS8 CONNECTIONS1Chassis ground input: Connect it to a paint-free spot on the vehicle chassis.2+12V: Connect it to the vehicle battery with a 25A fuse within 18 inches (45.7cm) of the positive battery terminal. Use 12 AWG wire minimum!3Remote turn-on output: Connect it to the remote turn-on input of all amplifiers in the system. The MS-8 MUST control the turn-on signal of the other devices that come after it in the signal path. The output is +12 volts DC, 1A. 4Remote turn-on input: Connect it to the remote turn-on output of the source unit if the source has such an output. If not, this terminal can connect to the vehicle’s accessory (ACC) power circuit. In either case, a connection with over +4 volts DC will trigger the unit, accommodating a range of factory source units or amplifiers.Input signal connections: Many factory-installed systems include on-board equalization (EQ) and crossovers that make simple connection of aftermarket products difficult. The MS-8 includes signal-summing circuitry, signal-conditioning EQ and time-correction processing necessary to reconstruct a two-channel, flat, full-range signal when you use the MS-8 with factory-installed equipment. Aftermarket head units with RCA-type outputs provide a flat, full-range, two-channel signal on their front RCA-type outputs. Connect only those outputs to the MS-8.5RCA-type audio inputs: If you use the MS-8 with an aftermarket head unit that includes RCA-type outputs, connect the front outputs to the MS-8’s RCA-type inputs 1 and 2 only. Do not connect any other output signals to RCA inputs 3–8.6Hi-Level inputs: If you use the MS-8 with a factory-installed head unit, or any head unit that does not include RCA-type outputs, connect the front left and front right speaker-level outputs from the head unit to “Hi Level Input” 1 and 2 on the MS-8. If the factory-installed system includes a separate amplifier, connect the output of the amplifier to the “Hi Level Input” of the MS-8. Note: Many factory-installed separate amplifiers include separate channels for front tweeters and midranges and subwoofers. Connect ALL of the front and subwoofer outputs to the speaker-level inputs of the MS-8.Note: The subwoofer outputs of the factory amplifier MUST be connected only to the MS-8’s input channels 7 and/or 8.7Aux input: Connect it to any auxiliary source with RCA audio outputs. Switching between the standard inputs and the Aux input is done in the MS-8 menu.8Speaker outputs: Connect them directly to the speakers if the MS-8’s on-board amplifiers will be used. Fill out the chart below to simplify channel assignment during setup. 9Preamp outputs: If the MS-8’s onboard amplifiers won’t be used, connect the RCA-type inputs of additional amplifiers to the MS-8’s RCA-type output connectors. Some speakers may be powered by the MS-8’s amplifiers and some by additional amplifiers, but only use one connection type per output. For example, Output Channel 1 may use the MS-8’s amplifier OR an additional amplifier, but not both. Do not connect a speaker to Speaker Output 1 AND an amplifier to RCA-type Output 1. Fill out the chart below to simplify channel assignment during setup.10 MS-8 Display: Connect it to the MS-8 using the supplied cable. You MUST connect the display during setup, but you may disconnect it after setup. If you do not install the display, you cannot adjust the MS-8, and the MS-8’s remote control will not function.11Microphone input: You must connect it to the MS-8 during setup. Once setup is complete, unplug the microphone and store it in a safe place. Do not use any other microphone with the MS-8.DISPLAY INSTALLATIONChoose a location for the display that is within easy sight while you are operating the vehicle but that does not obstruct your view or normal vehicle operations.

During Input Setup, the MS-8 uses a setup CD to analyze and condition the input signal for further processing. During Output Setup, you will configure the basic crossover settings and identify the output channels. During Acoustic Calibration, the MS-8 will automatically equalize the signal that it sends to the loudspeakers and optimize their response for up to four seating positions, using the included binaural microphone. You must complete all of these steps in 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 the output-configuration chart you filled out during installation handy. It will make configuring the outputs easy. 1. Turn on the MS-8Start the MS-8 by turning on the head unit (or turning the car’s key to the ACC position if you’ve connected the REM In terminal to ACC power).2. Choose Your LanguageThe MS-8 boots immediately to the language-selection screen the first time it’s powered up. Once this screen appears, choose your language. Language > English.3. Input SetupOnce you have chosen the language, the MS-8 will display the Input Setup Menu. Important: You •must use the calibration CD provided with the MS-8 for this step. Do not convert the CD to a compressed file format (MP3, WMA, AAC, M4A or any other). If you “rip” the CD, do so only as a copy (WAV file), not a compressed format, and ensure that your media player can play a WAV file format.If you are using an aftermarket head unit and have connected the head unit’s RCA-type outputs to the MS-8’s inputs 1 and 2, select Skip Input Setup and go directly to the Xover Setup section and menu. If you are using a factory-installed head unit connected to the MS-8’s speaker-level inputs, select Input Setup and follow the Input Setup procedure that follows.Set the head unit’s bass, treble, balance and fader controls to their “flat” or center position. a. If possible, defeat the factory system’s additional processing (Dolby® Pro Logic II, Logic 7, seating-position selector, user-selectable equalization, etc.). Consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for instructions. While the b. Input Setup screen is displayed, follow the on-screen instructions. Insert the supplied MS-8 CD into the audio source unit, and press “PLAY” on the source unit.While the CD is playing, the MS-8 will analyze the input signal to ensure that it is receiving the correct signals and that both right and left signals are present. The MS-8’s display will show Signal, Level and Balance, and there must be an OK displayed next to each one before you can continue. If •None appears next to Signal, be sure that the head unit is outputting signal (increase the volume control), and/or check the MS-8’s input connections. If •Noisy appears next to Signal, ensure that the head unit’s volume control isn’t all he way up, and turn off the car’s engine (if the car is running), but be sure not to turn the key past the accessory (ACC) position.If the display reads •High or Low next to Level, adjust the head unit’s volume control until OK appears. If •Left or Right appears next to Balance, adjust the head unit’s balance control until OK appears.Select c. Continue when the CD is playing Input Setup > (Press PLAY on CD) > ContinueThe display will read Acquiring.... while the MS-8 analyzes and corrects the signal. Once the procedure is complete (up to a minute or two), follow the instructions on the screen: turn the head unit’s volume down, remove the CD and select Continue.50200CSK - JBL MS-8 Quick Start Guide Inlay.indb 5 08/03/10 15:22:40
