As you can see the display is very basic. How do I properly tune my acoustic down a half step using this tuner? Should I invest in a different one?

And there is an Eb, if Fb that hangs out with B# :-).

I know this is old but I must talk about this, the MAJORITY of bands who tune a half step down call it Eb tuning, yes D# is the same but usually we reserve that for tuning up not down. Every artist I have seen right a half step down labels it as E Flat Standard not D#
I have one so tune 6th to D# = Eb
5th to G# = Ab
4th to C# = Db
3rd to F# = Gb
2nd to A# = Bb
1st to D# = Eb
Hope this helps
