7. In Use
Once set up the DB1 should require little adjustment.
However, if it is moved within the listening room or
if large items of furniture are introduced, its Gain
and User EQ will need adjustment. If you have
programmed the Room EQ, this will also require
re-measurement. Please remember that the DB1 is
capable of volume levels that have the potential to
damage your and others' hearing. If in any doubt
reduce the volume. If the DB1 is overloaded, its
standby indicator will flash red.
The performance of your DB1 may change subtly
during the initial listening period. If it has been stored
in a cold environment, the damping compounds and
suspension materials of the drive units will take some
time to recover their correct mechanical properties.
The drive unit suspension will also loosen up during
the first hours of use. The time taken for the speaker to
achieve its intended performance will vary depending
on previous storage conditions and how it is used.
As a guide, allow up to a week for the temperature
effects to stabilise and 15 hours of average use for
the mechanical parts to attain their intended design
characteristics.
8. Restoring factory default settings
If the your DB1 has been previously used and you wish
to return it to its default state this can be done through
the following procedure:
i) With the DB1 in Standby mode (Standby indicator
is Red), press and hold the button until the indicator
flashes (after approximately 2 seconds). Release the
button.
ii) Now press and hold the button, again until the
indicator flashes. Release the button.
iii) The indicator will switch to white while the DB1
settings return to their defaults and switch to red
(normal Standby mode) again when the process is
complete.
9. Aftercare
The DB1 cabinet surfaces will usually only require
dusting. We recommend you use the cloth supplied
with the product. If you wish to use an aerosol or other
cleaner, apply the cleaner onto the cloth, not directly
onto the product and test a small area first, as some
cleaning products may damage some of the surfaces.
Avoid products that are abrasive, or contain acid, alkali
or anti-bacterial agents. Do not use cleaning agents
on the drive units. Avoid touching the drive units as
damage may result.
Whenever Bowers & Wilkins speakers are finished
in real wood, the finest veneers are selected and
treated with an ultra-violet resistant lacquer to
minimise changes in colour over time. Nevertheless,
like all natural materials, the veneer will respond to
its environment and a degree of colour change is to
be expected. Colour differences may be rectified by
exposing all the veneer surfaces equally and evenly
to sunlight until the colour is uniform. This process
can take several days or even weeks, but may be
accelerated by careful use of an ultra-violet lamp.
Wood veneered surface should also be kept away from
direct sources of heat such as radiators and warm air
vents in order to minimise the possibility of the wood
veneer cracking.
