The following steps are required to enable the
RailDriver internal sub-woofer. Power and audio
connections are not required for operation of
the RailDriver controls, but they do enhance the
driving experience.
1.
Plug the RailDriver Controller into the line out sound port on your computer.
2.
Plug the speakers (which were in the sound port) into the RailDriver pass
through sound port.
3.
Connect the 12 VDC Power Supply.

Set the Amplitude control to mid level (adjust setting when RailDriver is
running with your train simulation software).
Note:
The RailDriver Desktop contains a speaker which has been magnetically
shielded to prevent color distortion on video displays. Exposing magnetic media
(floppy disk, memory stick, or digital tape) to magnetic materials may cause data loss.
Operating your RailDriver
CabControl Unit
The rapid evolution of train simulator software applications prohibits us from
keeping the most current and relevant instructions in a paper manual. Please
see the readme.txt file on the RailDriver installation CD and the “Help” files in
our software for the latest notes on operating RailDriver controls, or visit the
Technical Support Page on www.raildriver.com
