CARE OF YOUR SUBWOOFER

Your Velodyne subwoofer does not require any regular maintenance. Normal dusting or cleaning of the surface for appearance purposes are all that is required. We suggest you avoid any harsh detergents or chemicals when cleaning the cabinet. Abrasives, detergents, or cleaning solutions may damage the finish on the cabinet. We recommend using only a damp cloth to clean the cabinet.

During normal conditions, your new subwoofer may be left on continuously without any problems. The unit is equipped with a signal- sensing turn on/ off that will automatically turn on the unit when a signal is present at the inputs and turn off the unit after several minutes when there is no longer any signal at the inputs. If you plan to leave the subwoofer unused for an extended period of time, we recommend that you turn off the master power switch on the rear panel.

PROTECTION CIRCUITRY

Your new subwoofer is equipped with special protection circuitry to provide maximum performance with greatest reliability.

The unit is protected against:

1)Overdriving the speaker or amplifier

2)Overheating the amplifier

3)Excessive drop in power line voltage

The first type of protection circuitry which prevents overdriving of the speaker or amplifier operates constantly without being audible under most situations. In some extreme situations (sustained high output levels such as pro sound usage), the unit may shut down momentarily. This indicates the thermal or under-voltage protection circuitry has engaged. If this should happen, you should reduce the volume setting or shut the unit off until normal operating conditions return. You may also want to plug the unit into a different wall outlet, as dropping power line voltage will be most noticeable under strenuous conditions and may result in the unit shutting down intermittently.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND SERVICE

If you should experience a problem with the operation of your subwoofer, please check all of the following before seeking service. Following is a simple troubleshooting guide to assist you.

1.Verify that the unit is plugged in, power outlet used is active and supplying proper voltage.

2.Is the power switch on?

3.Is the auto turn on/off set properly?

4.Is the unit receiving an input signal from your source?

5.Have all controls on the subwoofer (volume, crossover, phase, etc.) been properly set?

6.If unit has been running at high levels for an extended period of time, one of the protection circuits may be engaged.

Is the built-in amplifier extremely hot to the touch?

Is your power line voltage sagging below acceptable levels?

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 should 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
