Dream Player LITE – User Manual
2.6 Power Input
The LITE may operate off of 6-12V DC and will draw about 50ma. The polarity is
important on this board and to prevent any accidents we created the LITE with an
onboard diode that will prevent power from getting to other areas of the board should
power be supplied in the reverse order. The simplest way of telling whether or not proper
power has been established to the LITE is to look at the power indicator LED. If it is ON
then you have correct power established, if no LED then, well; no power.
2.7 Control Output
As its name implies, you may use this function on the Dream Player LITE to control
outputs such as LED‟s, Relays, etc… There is more to learn in section 3.4.
2.8 SD Card and Socket
Your Audio content, CONFIG File, and any firmware updates are loaded onto a micro
SD FLASH Card, and then inserted into the SD Card Socket. The connector used on the
Dream Players is unique in that the card is loaded from the top and not from the front like
standard connectors. One major feature of this style is that it ensures that the card does
not accidently fall out when the device is mounted.
To load the card into the connector, simply insert the card into the socket from the top
and while pushing down with your finger pull towards yourself, you will feel it when it is
secure. If the card is not properly fitted into the socket it will actually pop back up, the
only the time the card remain down is when it is correctly inserted into the connector.
2.9 Creating WAV Files
Any suitable sound editor can be used to create WAV files. The Dream Player LITE will
play Stereo, 16-bit samples, at a 44.1KHz sample rate. This is the same format used for
CD Players and is quite standard.
Note: The Dream Player LITE can NOT play MP3 files or other non-wav files.
Please visit the PRICOM Design web site (

), for some ideas and tips on
creating your own WAV Files.
Although not necessary, we recommend numbering your files once you load them onto
the SD Card. The Dream Player LITE will understand the numbers „1‟, „2‟, „3‟, or „4‟
when placed in front of the file name. These numbers indicate to the Dream Player what
„track‟ they are. If you do not number the files then the LITE will use the oldest track on
