In setup mode, the DB1 front panel user interface is 
based on navigation around hierarchical menus and 
the selection of options. The selected menu item is 
indicated by a coloured outline, which is normally blue. 
A red outline indicates that a Preset parameter
has been adjusted but not saved.
The five navigation buttons behave as follows:
Selects the next menu item up or increases a 
parameter setting.
Selects the next menu item down or 
decreases a parameter setting.

saving changes.

outline has a signpost shape, indicating a 
subsequent menu screen. The current setting 
of the parameter is also shown within the 
outline.

menu. Pressing and holding the button 
at any time will enter or exit the DB1 Setup 
Mode.
The DB1 Graphic Equaliser menus, found within the 
Preset setup routine, have a slightly different format 
to the other interface menus. In this graphic equaliser 
screen the and buttons select the band centre 
frequency and the up and down arrow buttons adjust 
the level of the selected frequency.
6.1. The DB1 User Interface
6. DB1 Switch On and Setup
This Section of the manual covers setup and control of 
the DB1 using its front panel buttons and display. Use 
of the SubApp™ PC application is described in the 
program’s internal help file. 
Once the DB1 is positioned in the listening room 
and connected to power and signal cables it can be 
switched on from its standby button. When switched 
on, the DB1 standby indicator changes from red to 
blue, the last preset used will be recalled and the 
screen illustrated above will be displayed.
Out of the box, the display screen will show that Preset 
1 is selected and that the Volume Trim is set at 0dB. 
The Volume Trim function has a range of +/-6dB and is 
intended to provide occasional on-the-fly adjustment 
and does not affect the volume setting stored within 
any preset. If the DB1 is switched to standby and on 
again, the Volume Trim is reset to 0dB.
When the DB1 setup is complete and it is returned 
to normal operational mode, the Volume Trim can 
be adjusted and Preset selected as described in 
section 6.1.
The DB1 will almost certainly require some setup 
changes in order to operate correctly in your system 
and to be tuned to your personal preference. To enter 
DB1 setup mode press and hold the button.
