Your new subwoofer is equipped with both speaker-level and line-  
levelinputs. UsetheRCA/PhonotypeINPUTjackswhenconnect-  
ing your subwoofer to a pre-amp, signal processor, or line-level  
crossover. The SPEAKER LEVEL INPUTjacks connect directly  
to the speaker outputs of an integrated amplifier or receiver. Your  
amplifier section will notice no additional loading effects when you  
use these inputs because of their high impedance.  
Note:

Low-PassCrossover  
Both sets of inputs sum the left and right channels together and the  
resulting signal is passed through an adjustable low-pass crossover  
before being amplified. The crossover control allows you to adjust  
the upper limit of the subwoofers frequency response from 40 to  
120 Hz. The subwoofers response will begin rolling off above the  
frequency you set this control to.

YourVelodyne CHT-R subwoofer is designed to operate using the full  
range audio signal for input when using the built-in crossover (controlled  
a u c a i s s o n d  
by the dial on the back panel). Many home theater processors/receivers

this same function and are designed to be used with a powered  
subwoofer.  
In these installations, you may want to bypass the crossover in  
either the processor or the Velodyne subwoofer. In some cases,  
you may want to use BOTH crossovers. To do this, you can use  
both your processors crossover and the one internal to theVelodyne  
sub. You should stagger the frequencies (i.e., 120 Hz subwoofer, 80  
Hz processor) for best results.  
To bypass the subwoofers internal crossover when the unit is being  
fed a low pass signal from another crossover, simply locate the  
knob marked LOW-PASS CROSSOVERon the rear panel of the  
subwoofer and turn it counterclockwise to the DIRECTposition.  
This will eliminate the internal crossover from the signal path.  
Note:  
If not using an external crossover, you should use the built-in  
crossover for optimal performance. When using a single RCA sub  
out from the processor, it does not matter which line level input (L/R)  
is used.  
Interconnect Cables  
When installing your new Velodyne subwoofer using the line-level  
connections, you should always use shielded phono cables. There  
are many decent 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 using speaker level connections, use a quality speaker cable  
that mates well with the connectors (at least 14-gauge). Be very  
careful to avoid any loose or frayed strands that could result in a  
short, causing a dangerous condition and possible damage to your  
unit. Cables of extremely large size are typically not required. Ex-  
tremely large gauge wire may not properly fit in the binding posts,  
resulting in a poor connection and possible short circuits.  
Placement  
True subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies, which are  
primarily omni-directional. While it is recommended that the  
subwoofers be placed on the same plane as the satellite speakers,

room and system conditions often dictate otherwise. Keep in mind  
that frequency response and output level can be drastically influenced  
by placement, depending on the acoustic properties of your listening  
room. Typically, the optimum location for a subwoofer is in a front  
corner of your listening room. This location will usually offer the  
greatest output levels and optimum low frequency extension. The  
worst location for a subwoofer is typically far away from any walls,  
close to the center of your room and near an opening or door way.

Avoid these locations when possible. When using a pair ofVelodyne  
subwoofers in stereo, it is preferable to place each subwoofer near  
s i t u a t i o n d a n g e r e u s e , e t d e s d o m m a g e s

During normal conditions, the subwoofer may be left on continuously  
without any problems. If you plan to leave the unit unused for an  
extended period of time, we recommend that you turn off the unit by  
the master power switch on the rear panel.  
Troubleshooting and Service  
Before seeking service for your subwoofer, please re-check all  
systems. Following is a simple troubleshooting guide to assist you.  
1. Verify that the unit is plugged in and power outlet used is active.  
2. Is the power switch on?  
3. Is unit receiving an input signal from your source?  
4. Have all controls on subwoofer (volume, crossover, phase, etc.)  
been properly set?  
5. If unit has been running at high levels, one of the protection  
circuits may be engaged.  
6. Has the built-in amplifier overheated?  
If the protection circuitry is active, the unit may cycle on and off  
until operating parameters return to normal. Under more serious  
conditions, the unit may shut off completely. Normal operation will  
return upon cooling, but you may be required to turn the power off  
and then on again to reset the unit.  
The following conditions require service by a qualified technician:  
1. The power cord has become damaged.  
2. The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked  
change in performance.  
3. The unit has been exposed to water.  
4. Some part of the cabinet or circuitry is physically damaged.
