Congratulations Congratulations on your purchase of a Velodyne Rear Port (VRP™) subwoofer system. This system represents the state-of-the-art in home audio reproduction and will provide you with years of listening pleasure when properly cared for. Read and follow this instruction manual to insure safe and proper system connection and operation. Caution! Please observe the following instructions to insure safe and proper system operation.
Placement True subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies that are primarily omni-directional. Keep in mind that frequency response and output level can be drastically influenced by placement, depending on the acoustic properties of the listening room. Typically, the optimum location for a subwoofer is tucked away in a corner of your listening room. This location will usually offer the greatest output levels and optimum low frequency extension.
To alleviate this condition, we recommend the following steps: 1) If using line level jacks, BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT INPUT SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED – never use just the left or just the right input. If the subwoofer’s input comes from the LFE channel of your receiver, use the included “Y” splitter to divide the single input into two inputs for the Left and Right subwoofer inputs.
Phase Adjustment - 0°/180° This control allows you to “reverse” the phase of the subwoofer’s output signal 180° to correct for any possible mismatch and resulting cancellation between the subwoofer and your main speakers/amplifier. To adjust, simply listen to the system with music playing, then depress the phase switch from one position to the other and listen for a change in low frequency output. The correct position will have a greater amount of apparent low frequency output.
R e a r Pa n e l C o n n e c t i o n s Figure 1.VRP Rear Panel Connections Figure 1 shows the connections on the rear panel of the VRP. Following are brief descriptions of the connections described in Figure 1. More detail of these connections can be found below: .

Interconnect Cables When installing your new Velodyne subwoofer using the line level connections, you should always use shielded phono cables. There are many high quality cables available today. It is recommended that you keep the length of cable as short as possible to avoid any potential noise problems. When using speaker level connections, use a high quality speaker cable that mates well with the connectors.
T roubleshooting 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, the power outlet is active, and is supplying proper voltage. 2. Is unit receiving an input signal from your source? 3. Have all controls on subwoofer (volume, crossover, phase, etc.) been properly set? 4.
