Installation – Step-by-Step
To ensure a quick and flawless installation of your Velodyne Digital Drive unit, follow these
numbered setup instructions in their exact order.
SUBWOOFER CABLE CONNECTIONS
Make all necessary cable connections between the applicable subwoofer connector port and
your particular home electronics equipment in the following order:
1. Insert the detachable AC power cord into the 117V~, 60Hz, 15A power interface port on
the rear panel of your subwoofer. Plug the male end of the cord into a convenient wall outlet.
2. Provide signal to your subwoofer through one or more of the following connections (refer to
your receiver/processor owner’s manual for available inputs to the subwoofer):
a. LFE INPUT (RCA, the RED jack at location 11 on Figure 2) – This is the most common
input cable connection. Make a connection between this input and the LFE output or
the subwoofer output of your receiver or processor; OR
LFE INPUT (XLR, location 6 on Figure 2) – Make a connection between this input and
b.
the balanced LFE outputs of your receiver or processor; OR
c. INPUT
d. SPEAKER-LEVEL INPUT (location 14 on Figure 2) – Make a connection between these
, LEFT and RIGHT (location 11 on Figure 2) – Make a connection between these
inputs and the stereo outputs of your receiver or processor; OR
inputs and the left and right speaker connections on your receiver or processor. Make
this connection by either inserting speaker wire into the correct binding post terminals
or by removing the banana plug jack caps and inserting banana plug wire into the jacks.
NOTE: Refrain from routing connections permanently at this time to accommodate subwoofer
room placement as described below
3. Establish the line-level connection (optional). Connect to a pre-amplifier’s main outputs and
returning them to your amplifier inputs. When installed in this fashion, your satellite
speakers will be crossed over at 80Hz, which removes the lower bass from your amplifier
and speakers, enabling them to do a better job reproducing high frequencies. By utilizing
this method, you will have a bi-amplified system, gaining improved power and headroom for
your system.
.
A Word About Subwoofer Outputs
The Velodyne subwoofer is designed to operate using the full range audio signal for input when
using the digital built-in crossover. Most processors/receivers have a “subwoofer out” jack that
is internally filtered and designed to be used with a conventional amplifier and speaker
rare cases, combining both an external crossover and the one internal to the subwoofer may
result in low output and increased noise. In these installations you may need to bypass the
internal crossover in either the processor or Velodyne subwoofer. In some installations, simply
setting one crossover to a higher frequency (such as 120Hz) will restore maximum
performance. To bypass the subwoofer’s internal crossover when the unit is being fed a low
pass signal from another crossover, refer to the SETUP instructions at step 14, below.
. In some

4. Referring to Figure 2, Items 5 and 8, connect the audio/video cable between your
subwoofer (EQ OUTPUT VIDEO/LEFT/RIGHT yellow, white, and red respectively) and your
electronics (receiver, processor, TV, etc.). Insert the color-coded cable plugs into the correct
EQ OUTPUT receptacle – the yellow plug into the VIDEO jack, the white plug into the LEFT
jack, and the red plug into the RIGHT jack. The opposite ends of this cable should be
connected to your receiver/processor
composite video input (e.g. aux), and the white/red AUDIO (L&R) cables go to a
corresponding audio input. Consult your receiver/processor and/or TV owner’s manual for
more information.
NOTE: Make sure the audio output goes into your AUDIO system, not your TV! The subwoofer
will generate test tones used to match the subwoofer to your satellites and to correct for room
anomalies that need to be played over your main audio system.
5. Insert the XLR microphone cable’s 3-pin male plug into the MIC INPUT jack (location 7 on

NOTE: The Digital Drive Accessory Kit includes a microphone stand adapter (1/2”-27 thread)
for use with professional mounting stands. Be sure to first remove the inner thread piece
(3/8”-16) before using.
7. Connect the XLR microphone cable’s female jack end with the male connector end of
the microphone.
8. Sheath the microphone pickup with the foam windscreen cover as a protection against dirt
and airborne contaminants.
A Word About Interconnect Cables
When installing your new Velodyne subwoofer using the line level connections, you should always
use shielded phono cables. There are many quality cables available today, most any of which
will work perfectly well. We do recommend that you keep the length of cable as short as
possible to avoid any potential noise problems.
When routing cables, try to keep them away from equipment that generates significant noise
such as industrial or digital equipment.
A Word About Connecting More Than One Subwoofer
If you are connecting more than one DD subwoofer to your system, you will connect them
together in a “daisy-chain.” Choose one sub for all the connections described below (we’ll call
this the “master” sub), and then connect an RCA jack from the THRU RCA jacks of the “primar
to the input jacks of the “slave” sub. You will also need to obtain a “Mouse Extension” serial
cable (available at any computer store, from your Authorized Velodyne dealer, or from Velodyne
directly) and connect the RS-232 OUT port of the primary sub to the RS-232 IN port of the
secondar

NOTE: When a DD subwoofer detects an incoming RS-232 command, it reverts to “Slave
Mode”. This means that the subwoofer will no longer accept IR commands. To reestablish
normal operations, remove the RS-232 cable and power cycle the unit.
Note that the daisy chain connection ONLY allows the woofers to communicate basic “run-time”
commands such as volume and preset. W

Subwoofer setup – Overview
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Once the installation has been completed, note that you can use your
subwoofer without performing ANY of the setup steps below. Simply use the remote to set the
volume, and select the preset that most closely matches your listening material, and enjoy!
However, to reap the maximum benefits of Digital Drive technology, read on!
Special note for 230V users with video problems
For 230-volt Digital Drive subwoofers, the default video mode is NTSC video format. If your TV
is NTSC compatible, you will have no trouble with this mode. However, certain TVs (especially
older ones) may require PAL or SECAM video. To switch from NTSC to PAL/SECAM mode,
press the DOWN ARROW four times followed by RESET. The subwoofer will restart in
PAL/SECAM video mode. To revert back to NTSC, restore defaults by pressing 8-9-0 while on
the cover screen.

returns to normal operation. Once the self-EQ process starts, pressing the RESET button can
interrupt it.
. After the sweep tones are completed, the unit automatically saves settings and
Caution: Self-EQ resets all EQs for all presets to their default values. DO NOT use the self-EQ
feature if you plan to adjust the DD subwoofer manually as described below
.
ON- SCREEN Setup
This section describes adjusting the onscreen settings of your Digital Drive subwoofer. You will
be performing all the setup functions using the buttons of your Velodyne-supplied remote control
and seeing the results on your TV screen. Words in all uppercase letters in the setup
instructions (e.g., SELECT
selected, or the field on the screen you should be paying attention to. Remember to point the
remote control at the subwoofer, not your TV!
Use the UP, DOWN, RIGHT, and LEFT directional arrow buttons that surround SELECT to
navigate the fields of the setup screens. Settings are typically changed using the SELECT key,
followed by the UP and DOWN arrow keys. Alternatively, the SET +/- buttons can be used to
change settings. A screen field highlighted in reverse video indicates your current location on
the screen. Holding down the UP, DOWN, RIGHT, or LEFT arrow keys causes the remote to
repeat and you can then rapidly move through fields to arrive at the desired one. You should
be able to perform most of the setup process by using the four arrow keys and the
SELECT button.
