UP or crossover DoWn buttons. A WORD ABOUT YOUR HOME THEATER RECEIVER’S CROSSOVER AND THE SC-600D AMPLIFIER’S CROSSOVER Your Velodyne SC-600D amplifier is designed to operate using the full range audio signal for input when using the built-in crossover. Many home theater processors/receivers have a “subwoofer out” jack that performs this same function and are designed to be used with a powered subwoofer. -

In these installations, you may want to bypass the crossover in either the processor or the velodyne SC-600D amplifier as described above. However, in some cases you may want to use BOTH crossovers. If you choose to do this you should stagger the frequencies, (i.e., 120 Hz subwoofer, 80 Hz processor) for best results. Note: If not using an external crossover, you should use the subwoofer’s built-in crossover for optimal performance. When using a single RCA sub out from the processor, it does not matter which line level input (l/R) is used. -
Page 16: Selecting The Subwoofer(S) To Be Controlled
SELECT ING ThE SUBWOOFER TO BE CONTROLLED Your SC-600D amplifier can control the Velodyne SC-600 Series subwoofers as well as generic passive subwoofers. Special internal software settings are designed to maximize performance and reliability depending on the model of subwoofer being controlled, so it is important to match the SC-600D amplifier with the subwoofer it is controlling. The SC-600D amplifier comes with a default setting for the SC-600 IW subwoofer. When the unit is first powered up, the model being controlled is displayed for two seconds on the numeric LED before the display reverts to the volume setting. The subwoofer to be controlled is shown as follows: Note: Both the IF and the IC settings control the SC-600 In-Floor/In-Ceiling (IF/IC) subwoofer and have identical internal settings. -

R&B – Rock: Provides the driving bass found in today’s rock music. Jazz – Classical: The tightest, cleanest, lowest distortion bass. The flattest frequency response of the four presets. Games: Maximum loudness available for the impact of video games. Each preset has its own characteristics with respect to subsonic filter, volume differential and a single contour equalizer in order to optimize the listening mode for the preset. 12 - Subcontractor Series User’s Manual www.velodyne.com...
