This DSR1 Is Pre-programed for
You.
All DSR1s that we ship are programed for '14 through '18 Harley Infotainment radios that only have the front channels enabled. If
you have a '19 or newer Harley with a GTS radio you will need to download our DSR1 setup file for the GTS radio. If you do not
have a factory radio simply hit the EQ reset button in the EQ section of the DSR1 app to set the EQ to flat. Then make what
adjustments you need. Other radio configurations like Ultra, CVO, etc. with four or more speakers will need alterations to the EQ
curve that we have set for you. The tune that we put on the DSR1 is free of charge and not guaranteed to be exactly what you need
for your particular situation. User/installer adjustments are required when using a DSR1. You are responsible for all adjustments in
your new audio system. Read the extensive information here and the articles we have published on our website and get to know
what adjustments are needed for your system.
We have already updated to the latest firmware so there is no need to connect to your computer.
This DSR1 is already setup for a typical install on a '14 & up Harley Davidson with a factory radio with 2 channel input
(front only). Therefore you will not need to go through the setup menu in the Perfect Tune app. The only reason to go
through the setup menu is if your system is not a '14 & up with factory radio and/or you are feeding the DSR1 with more
than just the front channels
Use the "​ B asic Tune​ " EQ in the DSR1 app unless you know what you are doing in the "​ A dvanced Tune​ " section. You
can find several articles about using the advanced tune at
https://www.americanhardbag.com/pages/installation-guides​ ​ .
Understand how the "Remote In & Remote Out" connections should be made before you install your DSR1. Improper
connection of the remote in/out can void your warranty.

  • Page 1 All DSR1s that we ship are programed for ‘14 through ‘18 Harley Infotainment radios that only have the front channels enabled.

If you do not have a factory radio simply hit the EQ reset button in the EQ section of the DSR1 app to set the EQ to flat.
  • Page 2 ​ y ou should read DSR1 Pre-Programmed Details Your DSR1 has a setup file pre-loaded on it called “​ 1 4_6channel_Out_1.rfts​ ” ​ . This setup file sets all settings on the DSR1 to a common and safe state. INPUT/OUTPUT...
  • Page 3 When using an aftermarket radio it is critical that you use the amplifier remote turn on wire (usually blue or blue with white stripe) to trigger the DSR1. ​ D o this by connecting the radio’s amplifier remote turn on wire to the DSR1 solid blue wire​ (remote in).
  • Page 4 DSR1 to the amplifier. If you have already tried the DC detect mode described above, you may need to add a delay devise between the radio and the DSR1 as well. A very simple and cost effective way of doing this is to use a Pac Audio TR4.
  • Page 5 Connect the Green wire to the DSR1 remote out wire (blue/white) and the blue wire of the TR4 to the amplifier(s) remote input wire. Tag positive and ground (yellow & black) directly from the DSR1 power black and yellow power wires. Be sure to fuse the yellow wire if you are getting power for the DSR1.
  • Page 6 Put male connectors on the 3 remaining wires (Blue (no stripe), Yellow, Black). Make your power connections. You will need to supply your DSR1 with a ground and battery connection. There are only two good places to make these connections in the fairing of the bike.
  • Page 7 DSR1 on automatically. Doing it this way delays the turn on of the DSR1 and consequently the amplifier(s) just enough that it avoids the pop sound from the factory radio altogether. Problem solved. And one less wire to connect.
  • Page 8 Setting Amplifier Gains We get asked alot if the gains should be set within the DSR1. The answer is no. The DSR1 has trim levels for each channel as well as a master volume control. These are intended to be used by an advanced user. All trim levels in the DSR1 should be turned all of the way up and gain settings should be done at the amplifier(s).
