Auto Turn on Function
With this function in the “auto” position, your subwoofer can be safely left with the main power switched on
continuously. The subwoofer will turn itself on automatically when an audio signal is present. If no signal is
present for approximately 10 minutes, the unit will switch to standby mode. While in standby mode, your
subwoofer will draw very minimal power. This function can be disabled by leaving the switch in the “on” position.

Subwoofer Outputs
The Velodyne subwoofer is designed to operate using the full range audio signal for input when using the built-
incrossover.Someprocessors/receivershavea“subwooferout”jackthatisinternallylteredanddesignedto

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,
simplysettingonecrossovertoahigherfrequency(suchas120Hz)willrestoremaximumperformance.To
bypass the subwoofer’s internal crossover when the unit is being fed a low pass signal from another crossover,
simply locate the switch marked INTERNAL X-OVER/SUBWOOFER DIRECT on the rear panel of the subwoofer
and set to the SUBWOOFER DIRECT position. This will eliminate the internal crossover from the signal path.
