Digital Drive User’s Manual

The following steps take you though a typical Digital Drive setup procedure.  

1. Push the POWER switch on the subwoofer’s rear panel to the ON position. 

2. Make sure your receiver/processor is on and the volume control is set to minimum.

3. If you haven’t already done so, establish the crossover settings for your main speakers (see

page 11).    

4. Select the source on your receiver/processor that the DD subwoofer audio output is

connected to.  Input should be configured for stereo.  

5. Set the video input where you connected the video output as the active TV image.  The

introductory screen with the Velodyne logo and “Velodyne Digital Drive” should now appear
on your TV screen, as follows:
