Initial start-up and functions
1
System Connector
Please use this terminal only in combination with
the cable harness that is included in delivery or an
appropriate cable from the MATCH accessories
program.
Note:
In HighPower mode the M 5DSP MK2 must
also be connected directly to the car´s battery
by using a separate cable with sufficient cable
cross-section, even when using a cable harnesses
out of the MATCH accessories program. A detailed
description of the “HighPower” mode can be found
on page 22.
Caution:
The use of other harnesses may cause
severe harm to the amplifier, your car radio / head
unit and your loudspeakers. In any case the warran-
ty will be void!

Auto Remote
The M 5DSP MK2 will be turned on automatically if
the highlevel inputs are used or if a signal is applied
to the
Remote In
terminal. The
Auto Remote
switch
allows to activate / deactivate the automatic turn-on
feature. The feature should be deactivated if there
are e.g. disturbing noises while switching on / off
the amplifier.
Note:
If the automatic turn-on function is deactivat
-
ed it is mandatory to use the
Remote In
terminal to
power up the amplifier! The highlevel signal will be
ignored in this case.

Line Out
The 3.5 mm
Line Out
is a stereo signal output with
a maximum output voltage of 3 Volts RMS for con
-
necting additional power amplifiers. Please make
sure that you always turn on / off external ampli
-
fiers using the remote output (
Remote Out
) of the
M 5DSP MK2. Never directly control the external
amps by a signal from the ignition switch of your
car!
Additionally this output will be turned off when the
“Power Save Mode” of the amplifier is active.
Note:
We recommend to use a shielded 3.5 mm
jack to RCA cable to avoid any background noises.
4
Subwoofer Output
This output provides for the connection of a passive
MATCH Plug & Play subwoofer (like the MATCH
PP 7E-D or PP 7S-D), a conventional subwoofer
or center speaker. Use only the enclosed subwoof-
er cable for connecting a speaker. When using a
subwoofer, we strongly recommend to connect the
M 5DSP MK2 directly to a 12 Volt source. Refer to
connection instructions in section 4, page 24.
Note:
When connecting a center speaker, the
Center Processing must be activated in the FX
menu of the DSP PC-Tool software (see page 30,
Configuration notes for the DSP sound effects)
