By pressing the SELECT button, you tell the system to save your settings and return to the introduction screen. Selecting NO returns without saving (i.e. whatever previous settings were in effect will be used), and CANCEL keeps you in setup mode.

When the unit saves settings, you will see the video flicker and you may hear a slight tick in your main speakers. This is normal behavior.

NOTE: The Digital Drive subwoofer stores all of its settings in internal “Flash” memory. This memory persists even if the woofer is turned off, loses power, or undergoes a programming update, so you need not worry about losing your customized settings.

Restoring Defaults

There is a feature in Digital Drive that allows you to restore the factory defaults. On the Main Screen, simply press the 8, 9, and 0 buttons in sequence. If you are successful, the unit will flicker the video and then restore the main screen. You will have a good idea that the restore defaults was successful because the system volume will be restored to 30. You can verify the restore of the defaults by pressing 12345 and viewing the System Response screen. On this screen, all the EQs should be returned to their original position.

NOTE: After you successfully restore defaults, you must recalibrate the Digital Servo system. This is done easily -- simply press 6 then 7 on your remote. Your DD unit will emit a 60Hz tone and display a calibration value on the main screen for 10 seconds, then reset itself.

Runtime Mode

During normal use of your Digital Drive subwoofer, you can use the preset buttons to invoke certain presets, use the volume control to raise or lower the subwoofer’s volume, use the light and night buttons to control the logo light and night mode, respectively, and use the mute button to mute the subwoofer. These settings are shown on the introductory screen, as follows:
