ABOUT CES
As far back as the first century, the Greeks and Romans used the electric eel,
a variety of the “Torpedo Fish” for electrical stimulation. The electric eel
was used well into the 19th century, even after the invention of electronic
stimulation devices. First century writings record placing a live torpedo fish
under the feet of a person suffering from gout to ease the pain. There are
also reports of placing these fish on people’s foreheads to treat headaches.
Current interest in CES was initiated by Robinovitch, who in 1914 made the
first claim for electrical treatment of insomnia. In 1958, the book Electro-
Sleep reflected the first serious works on CES. This book inspired research in
Europe and in Eastern Bloc countries, as well as in South America, Asia and
finally the US. Because the CES equipment used was bulky, inconvenient, and
unreliable, CES, like the electric eel, was abandoned in favour of drug
therapies. With the invention of the transistor in the 1960s, small, low-power
and reliable CES devices were developed. By 1975 several companies in the US
and Europe were manufacturing CES devices for public use. During this time,
research on CES was quite active and scientific papers were published. Most
studies to date have shown CES as a reliable method to reduce anxiety and
improve cognition in recovering alcoholics. Additional studies have shown CES
to be an effective tool in reducing anxiety and improving IQ. Research to date
is quite vague on the effects of using CES at various frequencies, citing both
low and high frequencies can be effective for improving learning and reducing
anxiety. Many people who used CES along with AVE, have reported that they
experienced deeper relaxation for prolonged periods of time. In addition to
enhancing entrainment, CES increases neurotransmitter production. These
neurotransmitters are necessary for information processing, memory, energy
level and physical well-being. When our neurotransmitters and endorphins are
not produced to necessary levels, it may lead to destructive behaviors and/or
the abuse of substances as a substitute for that “natural high”.

AVE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SETUP
The headphones connect to the headphone output jack ( ). When using an Extra
User Package (sold separately), connect the 3.5mm splitter cable to the
Delight Pro and connect each set of headphones to the splitter cable. Please
ensure that you have the side marked “L” on your left ear and the side marked
“R” on your right ear. It is recommended that you disconnect the headphones
from the unit before storing or travelling to prevent accidental damage to the
jack.
The Tru-Vu Omniscreen, Tru-Vu Omniscreen Viewhole, or Tru-Vu Omniscreen Multi-
Color Eyeset connect to the eyeset output jack ( ) with the included 2.5mm
eyeset cord. Connect one end to the Delight Pro and the other to the jack
located on the lower left of the glasses. When using an Extra User Package
(sold separately), connect the 2.5mm splitter cable to the Delight Pro and
connect each eyeset to the splitter cable. It is recommended that you
disconnect the eyeset cable from the device and from the eyeset before storing
or travelling to prevent accidental damage to the jacks.
An external audio source (such as an MP3 or CD player) can be connected to the
Delight Pro so that music or other audio can be listened to while running a
session. Plug the stereo patch cord into the headphone output of the audio
device and the audio input jack ( ) of the Delight Pro.
Note: start the Delight Pro and select a session before playing audio unless
you would like to run a Sound Sync Session (see page 8).
POWER
The Delight Pro can be powered with a 9-volt alkaline or rechargeable battery,
or with the 9-volt adapter provided. To install the battery, slide the cover
off of the battery compartment on the back of the unit. Insert a 9-volt
battery as indicated on the diagram in the battery compartment. Slide the
cover back into place. An alkaline 9-volt battery will provide approximately
seven (7) hours of operation.
To use the 9-volt adapter, connect the adapter to the 9-volt jack ( ) on the
side of the unit. The 9-volt DC power adapter uses a 1.3mm center-positive
plug. No battery power is used when plugged into an adapter.
Note: to prevent accidental shock the CES capabilities will be disabled when a
power adapter is connected. To use the CES functions disconnect the adapter
and run from battery power only.
[4]
AVE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TURN ON/TURN OFF
Press and hold the power button ( ) until the power LED turns on. The graph
(between the VOL and INT controls) will display the battery level when you
first turn on the unit (see Battery Level). If no session is selected within
two (2) minutes, the Delight Pro will turn off.
At the end of a session, the lights and sound will fade out (Soft OffTM) and
the Delight Pro will automatically turn off. To end a session early, press and
release the Power button ( ) to initiate a short Soft OffTM (30 seconds).
To turn off the Delight Pro at any time, press and hold the power button ( )
until the unit turns off. This may take up to three (3) seconds if a session
is running.
BATTERY LEVEL
The battery level is displayed on the graph for a couple of seconds when the
Delight Pro is first turned on. The battery level is also monitored and
displayed periodically while the session is running.
When the battery level is getting low, the graph will display two (2) blinking
bars. It is recommended that you replace the battery before running a session
if this warning is displayed.
When the battery level is critically low, the graph will display a single (1)
blinking bar. If this warning is displayed when you turn the unit on, replace
the battery. If this warning occurs during a session, the session will end
early and the battery indicator will continue to blink for a short period of
time. The battery must be replaced before the unit can be used again.
SELECTING A SESSION
The Delight Pro has six (6) session groups ( , , , , , ). Each group offers
five (5) sessions. The session number is indicated by the lit number between
the volume and intensity controls. If no number is lit then the group has no
session programmed into it.
Press and release the power button ( ) to switch between groups. The lit group
icon will change. Press the volume or intensity or to highlight a session
number. If no sessions are available in a group, no numbers will be lit.
The Delight Pro remembers which group was used last, and each group remembers which session was used last.
Press to start the selected session. The session will begin after a five (5) second delay.
[5]
CES OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SETUP
To use the CES feature of the Delight Pro, the unit must be powered from a 9V
battery. If a 9-volt adapter is plugged in, the CES will be disabled as a
safety precaution against electrical shock. Make sure to disconnect any
adapter before using CES.
The CES stimulus cable connects to the CES output jack ( ). Attach the black
clip to the left earlobe and the red clip to the right earlobe. For better
conductance, it is recommended that you dampen the earlobe with a small amount
of water, saliva, saline solution or hair/electrode gel.
RUNNING CES
CES will only operate while an AVE session is running. The rate of stimulus
can either be synchronized with the AVE (default) or run at 100 Hz. When using
CES by itself, you can operate it while lying down or engaged in a simple,
nonhazardous activity such as walking, reading, or office work.
Follow the instructions for selecting a session (page 5). Once the session has
started, press the CES button to start the CES pulses. The CES system normally
remains off and must be manually engaged every time you want to use it.
Turning down the stimulus level all the way will turn off the CES system. The
CES system can be turned on or off at any point during the session.
The “L” and “R” LEDs (along the top edge of the panel) blink to indicate that
CES pulses are active. These LEDs blink at the CES stimulus rate. The “100Hz”
LED indicates that the CES is operating at 100 Hz.
100 HZ MODE
By default, the CES stimulation is synchronized with the AVE stimulation in the
running session. When you first turn on CES, the rate of pulses will be the same
as the AVE frequency. To engage 100 Hz mode at any
time, press both the CES and buttons together. 100 Hz CES
Press them again to return to AVE frequencies.

It is recommended that you engage 100 Hz mode serotonin than other
when the CES intensity is set low, as the sensation frequencies,

in AVE Sync mode.
and helping to
improve sleep.
[6]
CES OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CES INTENSITY
The CES stimulus level can be adjusted at any time using the CES or buttons.
The graph displays the current CES stimulus level as you are adjusting it. The
top-most lit LED will blink to indicate the level is being adjusted. The
intensity of the CES stimulus should be adjusted to a level so that the
stimulus is only mildly noticeable. Forty-five double blind studies have shown
that CES works at a sub-threshold level (below the level of feeling). Setting
the intensity too high may result in a mild irritation or blistering of the
skin. After a few minutes, you may notice that the intensity of the
stimulation is stronger. This is due to a normal “sweating in” to the ear
clips that results in a better electrical connection. Re-adjust the intensity
to a comfortable level.
CES HINTS
The L and R LEDs do not blink during the session: The CES system is currently
disabled. Try turning on the CES by pressing the CES button. When the Delight
Pro is plugged into a 9-volt adapter the CES is completely disabled. Unplug
the adapter and run the device from a 9V battery. No stimulus can be felt,
even with the intensity at maximum: You may need to wet the ear clips slightly
to get a better electrical connection. Reduce the intensity, put a small
amount of water, saliva, saline or hair/electrode gel on the earlobe and re-
attach the ear clip. Try adjusting the intensity level again. Stimulus is too
strong at the lowest setting: You may need to dry the ear clips or adjust them
slightly to increase your electrical resistance. Make sure the ear clips are
not touching any metal earrings.
[7]
SOUND SYNC SESSIONS
The Delight Pro has the ability to use sound to run a special session for relaxation and lucid dreaming effects. To start a sound sync session, connect your audio device (eg CD or MP3 player) to the audio in jack ( ) with the 3.5mm stereo patch cord provided.
Turn on the Delight Pro, but do not select a session. Start the playback on the
audio device. After a short period (about 10 seconds) the Delight Pro will detect
the audio and enter sound sync mode. The graph will activate to indicate there
is audio present and the session group icons will flicker, with the selected icon
lit solid.

USER DESIGNED SESSIONS
The User Designed session group ( ) has been left blank for storing
additional, or user created sessions. This provides space for five (5)
standard sessions and one (1) sound sync session. Sessions are created using
the DAVID Session Editor (sold separately). Additionally, any session in the
Delight Pro may be overwritten allowing the device to be customized with
sessions to best suit your application. Once the desired session(s) is
created, it must be saved with the appropriate Session ID to be stored in the
Delight Pro. The DAVID Session Editor v2.0 makes this easy. If you have an
older version of the session editor, please contact Mind Alive Inc. to get the
latest version.
USER DESIGNED SOUND SYNC SESSIONS
Sound sync sessions have special design restrictions. When played, they have
no specified length, and a single target frequency per visual field. To create
a sound sync session in the DAVID Session Editor, start with a new session and
select sound sync from the session type list. The left and right frequencies
will be the target frequency around which the session will randomize. Sound
sync sessions may not be stored in a standard slot, nor may a standard session
be stored in a sound sync slot. The Delight Pro will display an error if the
session type downloaded is incorrect.
Please refer to the help files included in the tutorial on the DAVID Session
Editor on creating sessions and instructions for downloading them into your
Delight Pro.

CRANIO-ELECTRO STIMULATION (CES)
Do not use if you have a heart pacer. The electrical signals may cause the
pacer to malfunction, leading to serious injury or death.
Do not use on anyone with epilepsy, brain tumor or who has had a recent
stroke.
Do not use while driving or operating hazardous machinery. Do not place
electrodes over skin lesions, new scars, cuts, eruptions,
or sunburn. Setting the intensity too high may result in a mild irritation or
blistering of the skin. Set the intensity to a lower level so that the
stimulus is only mildly noticeable. A double blind study showed that CES works
at sub-threshold (below feeling) level.
PRECAUTIONS
Traumatic Childhood Experiences – The DAVID Delight Pro can cause the release
of suppressed memories. If traumatic memories surface during or after a
session, be certain to seek appropriate support. Somnatic Shock – If abruptly
returning to a normal conscious state, a mild case of somnatic shock can
result, leaving the user feeling disoriented, nauseous, or experiencing a
headache. All preset sessions in the DAVID Delight Pro are programmed to end
with the lights fading out (Soft OffTM) to avoid somnatic shock. Orthostatic
Hypotension – Occasionally when a person becomes very relaxed during a
session, his/her blood pressure may fall significantly. We advise rising
slowly after a session.
