CAUTION Failure to heed them can result in injury or property damages. WARNING • DO NOT DRIVE WHILE DISTRACTED. Any function that requires your prolonged attention should not be performed while driving.
  • Page 3 “ Œ Power Indicator: This red LED indicates when the link8 is powered on. Once illuminated, there will be a short delay before audio signal output is enabled. During initial power connection, the LED may illuminate for a brief period.
  • Page 4 If a gain difference between channels is desired with direct signal input, adjustments made at the link8 should also minimize amplifier gain settings for best S/N. Note that the gain adjustment will be bypassed if its input select is set to copy the previous channel pair.
  • Page 5 flashing red, solid blue and flashing blue. In the default system Type-1, the only LED indication is solid red when the link8 is powered on. For the other three system types, solid red indicates Main speaker level source is selected and solid blue is for AUX source. Flashing indicates CH7/8 level mode is active for the current source, which will timeout after 5 seconds if no adjustments are made.
  • Page 6 Remote Input (REM IN): If the source unit has a remote output wire (provides +12V only when turned on), connect it to the REM IN terminal. If a remote lead is unavailable, the link8 is also enabled with an automatic turn-on circuit that detects audio signal from SPK and AUX inputs, as well as DC-offset from SPK inputs.
  • Page 7 Ÿ For systems with a main speaker level source that will serve as the master volume control, and an auxiliary source is connected to the link8, select system Type-2 at the multi-function remote. This provides AUX volume control as well as independent CH7/8 level adjustment for both main and AUX sources.
  • Page 8 CH7/8 OUT Note: For systems where no full-range signal is available, the link8 can be utilized purely as a 4-way summing line output converter without remote. In this example, the link8 is summing factory 4-way signals to a single pair of 2-channel full-...
