1  Overview 

 
Congratulations! 
You have just received an extraordinary little device.   
The Dream Player LITE is packed full with an extensive array of features and measuring 
only 2 by 2 ½ inches, this is truly the best item of its kind. 
Your sound files are stored on a microSD Card readily available at any electronics store 
as well as through PRICOM Design. We have tested sizes ranging from 512MB-16GB 
from a variety of manufactures and have success with them all. This means you could 
have 25 hours of CD quality music playing in your project using a 16GB SD Card.  
Also by using a microSD Card you are able to mount the board to anything and 
anywhere, and easily change out or update the sounds that the device plays.  
What about quality? The LITE plays exceptionally high quality 44.1 KHz, stereo, 16bit, 
WAV Files.  
You may also control the LITE via external controls such as a button, and also control 
Output devices such as LED‟s with it.  
A real big feature of the Dream Player LITE is its low power consumption. Only drawing 
some 50ma it can last 4 hours on one 9V battery charge. And even longer on 4 AA 
batteries. 
Another exiting feature of the Dream Player LITE is the “CONFIG file” that is stored on 
the SD Card. With this file you may change the characteristics of the Player. Things such 
as how long a fade out can be? Should it be 5 seconds? 1 second? None at all? Would 
you like the sound file to play only while you hold a button? How about starting the track 
when the button is released and stop playing when pressed again? These are just a 
handful of configurations that you may have, the beauty of it all is that you may change it 
at anytime and to your exact situation.    
Also included with your LITE is a CD containing sample Audio Files, sample CONFIG 
File, the complete User‟s Manual, and several other items to make your experience as 
enjoyable as possible.  
 
So read within to learn about the many exciting features of The Dream Player LITE.
