(1) POWER – Press the POWER switch to the ON position to activate the subwoofer. If the
unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, move this switch to the OFF position
to prolong the life of the subwoofer.
(2) 117V~60Hz 15A – Connect your detachable AC power plug to this male interface connection.
The detachable cord allows for easy replacement should the original be damaged.
(3) RS-232 IN – Use this port to communicate with your computer (for software updates), a
touch panel remote control, or another upstream Digital Drive subwoofer. See Appendix A
for an explanation of the use of the serial port, available commands, and their formats.
(4) RS-232 OUT – Use this port to communicate with a second “daisy-chained” Digital Drive
subwoofer. Also, the 12V trigger feature requires a 12V trigger signal (polarity irrelevant)
across pins 7 and 9 of this port.
(5) S-Video – This connects to your S-Video compatible TV. NOTE: Only connect to a single
video output at a time.
(6) LFE INPUT – This XLR input jack receives the balanced LFE signal from your receiver or
processor.
(7) MIC INPUT – This XLR input jack is for your XLR microphone cable.
(8) EQ OUTPUT VIDEO/LEFT/RIGHT – Connect the audio/video cable from your accessory
kit to these jacks: yellow plug to VIDEO (connects to an available video input on your
processor or TV), white plug to LEFT, and red plug to RIGHT (these connect to an available
L/R input on your receiver or processor, such as AUX). NOTE: Only connect to a single
video output (i.e. composite or S-Video) at a time.
(9) THRU – These RCA connectors are for sharing the same signal that goes into your
subwoofer with a second “daisy-chained” subwoofer. RCA input comes out of the THRU
jack.
(10) OUTPUT – These RCA connectors incorporate the use of an 80Hz 6 dB/octave slope high
pass crossover.
(11) INPUT LFE – This RCA input jack is for line-level connection.
(12) REMOTE SENSOR - This connection allows for hook-up of the optional remote control
receiver. With this optional receiver plugged in you will be able to utilize the functions of
the remote to control power, volume and mute functions. Place the infrared receiver within
direct line of sight from your usual listening position.
(13) VOLUME UP/DOWN – Press the black UP pushbutton to incrementally raise your
subwoofer’s system volume; press the black DOWN pushbutton to incrementally lower
your subwoofer’s system volume. Note the use of these buttons during software updates.
