TIP: Here’s an easy way to find the optimal position for the subwoofer without moving it to multiple positions in the room. Start by setting the subwoofer up in your listening position. Now, move the microphone around the room and observe the response graphs for different room positions. The best position has the fewest valleys and the overall smoothest response.

NOTE: If you are constrained in room location positions, don’t worry! By following the setup steps below, Digital Drive gives you maximum flexibility to make the most out of any subwoofer placement position.

11.Now that the room location has been chosen, turn off the subwoofer and the rest of your system, permanently route the wiring, and reconnect to your subwoofer.

12.Reactivate the subwoofer and your system and ensure that the system works as before.

13.Use the MENU button to get to the EQ setup screen (after entering the 12345 code), and then position the cursor over the NEXT field on the EQ setup screen. Press SELECT, and observe the Setting Setup screen, as follows:

You are now ready to adjust the crossover, subsonic filter, volume, and phase controls of your DD unit.

NOTE: if the remote seems intermittent or unresponsive, be sure you are pointing it at the

subwoofer and not your TV!
