JBL MS-2 Car Stereo System User Manual


 
Using the MS-2 with a Powered Subwoofer:
1. Press and hold the Bass button for five seconds.
The Sub indicator light will turn on.
2. Set your subwoofer’s crossover
(low-pass filter) to 50Hz.
3. Turn your subwoofer’s volume control
down until you can barely hear that the
subwoofer is playing while you’re seated
in the driver’s position.
4. Perform the MS-2’s setup procedure as directed on page 4.
5. When the setup procedure is completed, readjust your subwoofer’s
volume control to suit your preference. Then, use the MS-2’s adjustments
to further fine tune the sound.
If you want to perform a setup procedure again, follow the steps above again
before doing so.
If you want to use the MS-2 in another system that doesn’t include a powered
subwoofer, press and hold the MS-2’s Bass button for five seconds to return
it to normal operation. The Sub indicator light will turn off.

Standby and On Modes
The MS-2 will automatically enter Standby mode whenever no control
buttons have been pressed and an audio signal has not been present for
approximately five minutes. All indicators will be off and the Power indicator
will pulse red. The MS-2 will automatically turn on whenever an audio signal
is present at its input or whenever you press any control button.
You should disconnect the MS-2 from the power supply if you will not be
driving the car for a week or more.
Setting the System Volume
For the best audio performance, set your portable music player’s volume
to the same level it was during the setup procedure, and use your vehicle
audio system’s volume control to adjust the volume.
Adjusting the Sound
Press the Treble, Impact, Bass and Image buttons to fine-tune the sound to
your personal preference. The indicators next to the buttons will show the
settings.
Setting Memory
The MS-2’s settings are stored in flash memory, and will remain
indefinitely when the MS-2’s power connection is removed.
