6.4. Presets
DB1 presets enable setups appropriate for different
types of program material or listening situations to be
stored and easily recalled. We recommend that you
take the time to setup one or more presets.
Selecting Presets from the Audio Menu will display the
Presets menu illustrated above.
The three menu items provide the following functions:
Load
Loads one of the five presets for editing.
Edit
Enables the parameters shown in the following
columns to be changed.
As you make adjustments, the outline around the
selected menu item will change from blue to red to
indicate that the changes have not been saved and will
be discarded if you exit the
Preset menu using the
button.
Save
Saves the edited preset parameters to a specified
location, overwriting the preset data previously stored.
Saving causes the menu item outline to revert to blue.
Last Preset
This non-selectable label Indicates the number of
the last Preset accessed for either a
Load or a Save
operation.
Edit Menu
Input: Enables the preset to specify either the mono
or
stereo DB1 input. The default is mono.
Level: Enables the preset to specify a DB1 volume
level different from that set to balance the inputs. The
default is
0dB.
Low-Pass: Enables the preset to specify that the DB1
low-pass filter is either
In or Out of circuit. A preset
configured for use with home theatre program material
via DB1 connection to an AV processor LFE output
should not have a low-pass filter engaged. The default
is
Out.
Edit Menu cont'd
Sys(tem) EQ: Enables the preset to specify either
Impact or Flat equalisation. The default is Flat.
User EQ: Enables the preset to specify custom
equalisation parameters defined by adjustment of the
subsequent graphic equaliser menu. The default is all
bands set to
0dB.
To adjust the graphic equaliser, use the and
buttons to select a frequency and the and
buttons
to adjust the level of the selected frequency.
Adjusting the graphic equaliser can help overcome
room acoustic problems that result in unbalanced
or inconsistent subwoofer performance. Aim for a
relatively gentle use of graphic equalisation rather than
extreme differences between adjacent frequencies.
Setup Complete
Configuring setup presets completes the DB1 setup
procedure. Press and hold the
button to return the
DB1 to normal operational mode.
