Navigating the menu system
The menu structure is divided into ve submenus:
Music
Routing
System
Priorities
Groups
Each submenu is entered by pressing its dedicated button;
selection is conrmed by its adjacent LED.
The Routing, System and Priorities submenus are only
available in Installer Mode, as are most of the functions in
the Music and Groups submenus.
Front Panel Centre Section
Navigation through all the submenus is performed with the
NEXT FUNCTION button, the rotary control and the eight
numeric buttons. In general, the NEXT FUNCTION button
steps through the selected submenu one function at a time
and the rotary control changes the value of the function’s
parameter. Some submenu functions also make use of the
“press” action of the rotary control. Entry to each submenu
is always at the submenu’s rst function, and each submenu
“loops round” its set of functions, with the rst reappearing
after the last.
The eight numeric buttons are used in various ways, and
may refer to the eight zones, the eight music inputs, the
four microphone inputs and so on, depending on the
menu function currently selected. With most functions, the
numeric buttons’ adjacent LEDs conrm current status.
All menu functions have a time-out period of approx. 45
seconds. If no further adjustment is made within this period,
the menu system reverts to User Mode, Music Menu, Select
Input.
In the description of the submenu options on the following
pages, the function of the various controls is given below the
display image for each option.
Key:
Rotary: the function of the rotary control
Buttons: the function of the numeric buttons 1 to 8
Press: the function obtained by pressing the rotary control
knob inwards.

Context-sensitive Help messages
The DCM-1’s menu system is equipped with simple Help
text for user guidance. If no adjustment is made within 10
seconds of selecting a menu function, text appears on the
display advising the operation of the rotary control and
numeric buttons for the particular function.
