[. . . ] Auto-EQ PLUS (Recommended) Auto-EQPLUS is recommended by Velodyne. Auto-EQPLUS is the most advanced way to automatically optimize the bass response from your subwoofer and audio system. During the Auto-EQPLUS process, the Auto-EQPLUS digital signal processing algorithm uses a calibrated microphone and the Auto-EQPLUS sweep tone (found on the enclosed CD) played through your system to optimize the low frequency output response. The Auto-EQPLUS system first automatically mutes the subwoofer to determine the low frequency response (<200 Hz) of the speakers in your audio system. After finding this response, the subwoofer unmutes itself and matches its output to the satellites while maintaining a smooth blend with the satellite's low frequency output. Auto-EQPLUS then adjusts the output level, the frequency response, the crossover filter parameters, and the output phase, but only adjusts the parametric filters for level. Manual-EQ Manual-EQ is the most customized way to optimize the bass response from your subwoofer. The Auto-EQPLUS optimizes in a manner that sounds great for many people. However, we at Velodyne understand that everyone has unique listening preferences and that there are thousands and thousands of receiver, processor, speaker and room combinations. Hence, the Digital DrivePLUS subwoofers and the Auto-EQPLUS system are designed to support custom EQ settings through the Manual-EQ process. We recommend you start your Manual-EQ optimization with the settings from the Auto-EQPLUS optimization as a starting point for you to further tune the Digital DrivePLUS subwoofer to your preference. You can optimize the subwoofer for the preset levels, crossover filter parameters, and phase as well as the full parametric filter parameters. Manual-EQ also uses the Auto-EQ sweep tone played through your system, but also requires you to use the Velodyne-authored Windows Setup Program on your Windows computer or the TV-screen interface to manually modify the bass frequency response. [ 21 ] OPTIMIZATION Digital Drive PLUS User's Manual CHOOSE OPTIMIZATION METHOD & OPTIONS With Digital DrivePLUS you choose the level of subwoofer performance optimization that is right for you. The optimization level determines what options the Auto-EQPLUS system optimizes for, including: · Your room acoustics · Your audio system · Your listening preferences · Different audio genres Use the table below to choose an optimization level. Below the table are short explanations of what you can optimize for; audio genres, your listening room, your audio system and your listening preferences.

Digital Drive PLUS User's Manual 2 We recommend using the Windows Setup Program as making the USB connection between the front of the subwoofer and the laptop is much easier than having to access the composite video or S-video input connection on the back of your TV. Also, with the Auto-EQPLUS software you can see the changes to the frequency response on the same screen as the one on which you're changing parameters. The Setup Program requires a computer with Windows® XP, Vista or 7. 3 Actual time depends on the number of locations at which you listen to or look at the frequency response of the subwoofer. OPTIMIZATION OPTIONS Optimize for Audio Genres You might prefer to have a different bass sound and feel that depends on the type of audio you're listening to. For example, if you're gaming versus if you're watching a movie. Having presets that are accessible on the remote control allows you to easily optimize for these different audio genres without any additional setup by you. And you don't have to use the presets for the type of audio on the remote control buttons. For example, if you like how your Jazz music sounds using the Pop preset better than the Jazz preset, use the Pop preset.
