6.2. DB1 Initial Setup
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.
