CONNECTIONS
SIMPLE SETUP – 1 DECK
Connect the supplied cinch (RCA) cable between the audio output (4) of the player and the line level input
of your audio mixer.
If available, connect the supplied fader start cable between the fader start output (3) of the player and the
fader start input on your mixer.
Connect the supplied power cord between the mains input (1) on the player and the mains socket.
You can now play CDs and connect USB-storage, loaded with MP3 and WAV files.
SETUP – 2 OR 3 DECKS
For each deck follow the instruction for “simple setup – 1 deck”.
Connect a USB hard disk to the USB2-connection (8) of player1.
Note 1:
the hard disk must be formatted in FAT32! A hard disk formatted in NTFS (mostly drives with
big capacity) will NOT be recognized: such hard disk should be re-formatted in FAT32! (this can be
done under Windows, we can’t offer any support for this!)
Note 2:
the USB-slots on this player can each deliver 1A power to the connected hard disk. However
we suggest using a hard disk with separate power supply for better reliability.
Use the supplied USB-cable to connect the USB-link connection (9) of player1 to the USB2-connection (8)
of player2. (if you have a 3
rd
player, connect players 2 and 3 in the same way)
Use the SOURCE SELECT button (11) to select USB2 on the decks: the players will connect to hard disk.
You can now play CDs and MP3 / WAV files from the connected hard disk.
IMPORTANT: for good, stable performance only use a good quality USB-cable with a maximum
length of 1meter!
SETUP – MIDI CONTROLLER
For each deck follow the instruction for “simple setup – 1 deck”.
Use the supplied USB-cable to connect the USB-link connection (9) of player1 to one of the USB-
connections on your computer.
Use the supplied USB-cable to connect the USB-link connection (9) of player2 to one of the USB-
connections on your computer.
In the setup menu: set option B (MIDI setup) to USB = MIDI. (see chapter SETUP MENU for support)
Press the SOURCE-button (11) until the 3 LEDs (USB1+USB2+CD) are lit: the player is in MIDI-mode.
Use the MIDI PLAYER A/B button (51) to select player1 as MIDI-controller A and player2 as MIDI-
controller B.
Configure your DJ software so it can be used with the DMC1000: this configuration depends completely on
the PC-program you will use. This part of the installation and the use of the PC software is not supported
by Synq! However we advise you to check our website to see if we have a midi-map file for the PC
software of your choice available for download.
