If your audio system includes speakers that are large enough to reproduce bass or if you listen at low levels, you can
get fuller bass response by disengaging the special bass filter after performing the setup procedure. Press and hold
the Bass button to deactivate the filter (the SUB indicator will be lit). To reactivate the filter, press and hold the Bass
button again (the SUB indicator will turn off). Choose the bass filter setting that you prefer.

Bass button for five seconds to return it to normal operation. The SUB indicator 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.
To avoid draining the vehicle’s battery, you should disconnect the MS-2’s power supply from the car’s 12V power
port when you aren’t using the MS-2 and the car won’t be driven for a few hours.
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. If you hear distortion in your
system after performing the MS-2’s setup procedure, turn your portable audio player’s volume down a little to
eliminate it.
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.
