Installing & Setting Up the Driver (Macintosh)

■Mac OS X users

1.With the GS-10 disconnected, start up Mac OS.

Disconnect all USB cables except for a USB keyboard and USB mouse (if used).

2.Exit all currently running software (applications).

Also close any open windows. If you are using virus checking or similar software, be sure to exit it as well.

3.Before connecting the USB cable, switch the GS-10’s driver mode to “Standard.”

For instructions on switching the GS-10’s driver modes, refer to “Switching the Driver Mode” (p. 80).

4.With the power switch turned OFF, use the USB cable to connect the GS-10 to your computer.

5.Make sure that the GS-10’s OUTPUT LEVEL is set to the lowest setting, then switch ON the POWER switch.

6.Open “System Preferences” and click “Sound.”

Turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to other devices.

This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.

7.In the “Sound Effects” tab, set “Play alerts and sound effects through” to “GS- 10.”

Now, try clicking on an alert in the list. If the sound of the alert comes from the GS-10 when you do so, it means that the GS-10 is being recognized and that the driver has been installed properly.

Once set this way, all sounds from your Macintosh (including audio alerts) will be output only through the GS-10, not from the speakers of your Macintosh.
