Three modes of console operation are available.
These are known as ‘user modes’ and provide
different levels of control access for the day to day
operator.
Press UTIL repeatedly until the USERMODE menu
item is displayed. Use the WX cursor keys to scroll
through the three mode options. Enter the mode
required. The mode may be changed at any time.
The following modes are available:
NORMAL MODE = Full control.
This is the default mode. All controls and memory
automation are available. Normal mode is ideal for
live performers using the performance memories.
LIVE MODE = Manual console operation +
optional recall of memories using Set.
All controls are available except for the automation.
Song, set and venue memories are locked and cannot
be overwritten. If a set is active before entering this
mode then the memories programmed into that set
can be selected using the WX cursor keys and
recalled by pressing
ENTER. If ‘NO SET’ is selected
before entering this mode then memory recall is
completely disabled. This lets you choose whether
the operator has limited access to a chosen selection
of the memories. Live mode is ideal for manual live
mixing where accidental overwriting of the console
settings is prevented.
BASIC MODE = Setup controls locked + optional
recall of memories using Set.
Only channel gain, faders, mutes and headphones
monitoring are available to the operator. All other
controls are locked to prevent preset parameters
being overwritten. If a set is active before entering
this mode then the memories programmed into that
set can be selected using the WX cursor keys and
recalled by pressing
ENTER. If ‘NO SET’ is selected
before entering this mode then memory recall is
completely disabled. This lets you choose whether
the operator can recall a selection of the memories.
Basic mode is ideal for installed sound where the
installer presets the parameters for different mixing
situations and the day to day operator has limited
access to basic controls only.
USERMODE SYMBOL If live or basic mode is
active a symbol is displayed on the left of the
HOME
screen. This identifies that the console is not in its
default normal mode.
Live mode = u 1
Basic mode = u 2
If any locked key is pressed both the padlock and
usermode symbols are briefly displayed.

It is standard practice to switch off or turn
down any connected power amplifiers before
switching off the console.
Press the rear panel MAINS switch to turn the
console off. The DP1000 relays disengage
immediately to protect the loudspeakers.
The control settings are saved on power down and
will be restored when you next switch the console on.
The contents of the copy buffer are cleared. The
icon always powers up in the
HOME screen.
