About

When the DB1 enters setup mode it will display the setup Home Menu illustrated above.

The four menu items provide the following functions:

Display

By default, the display is set to go dim after 30 seconds of button inactivity to reduce visual distraction in normal operation. Alternatively, it may be set to go off altogether. As soon as a button is pressed, the display becomes fully bright and is always bright in setup mode.

On/Off

In this context, Off refers to the Standby condition. The function may be set to Manual, Auto(matic), or via the Trigger 1 input. The default is Manual.

To fully disconnect the DB1 from mains power, it is necessary to switch off the mains outlet socket or withdraw the mains plug.

If Manual is selected, the DB1 front panel standby button or an RS232 home automation system must be used to switch between on and off.

If Auto is selected the DB1 will switch on automatically when an input audio signal is detected and off following a specified time after the input signal stops. The automatic switch-off delay time can be set in the subsequent menu by pressing the button when Auto is highlighted. Accessing the delay time will also select Auto as the switching method.

If Trigger 1 is selected, 12V at the Trigger 1 input will switch the DB1 on and 0V will switch it off. To proceed with DB1 setup, ensure that the On/Off parameter is initially set to Manual.

Trigger 2

Enables DB1 presets to be selected in turn by a

12V control signal on the Trigger 2 input. Selecting In engages this control feature and selecting Out disengages it. Out should be selected if your DB1 is integrated within an RS232 home automation system. The default is Out.

Pressing the button while In is highlighted sets Trigger 2 as the switching mode and allows the user to select which Presets correspond to 12V and 0V at the Trigger 2 input. If In is the selected mode, Preset switching via the front panel buttons in normal mode is then disabled. The default presets are Preset 1 for 0V and Preset 2 for 12V.

Audio

The Audio option in the setup home page provides access to all the DB1 audio setup parameters. Select Audio to move on to the next setup stage.
