CONNECTIONS
Some important notes for the USB-storage devices that you will connect:
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, support can be found on the DMC2000 product page)
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.
Note 3:
only WAV and MP3 files are recognized and can be played.
Note 4:
for your convenience we strongly advice using the Q-DBASE indexer software, it simply mazkes life
a lot easier!
SIMPLE SETUP – 1 DECK
Connect the balanced(5) or unbalanced(6) master to a power amplifier or powered speaker cabinets.
Connect a USB-stick to USB1-input (13) or USB-harddisk to the USB2-input (3).
If needed, connect a microphone to the mic1 (57) or mic2 (11) input.
Connect the supplied power cord between the mains input (1) on the player and the mains socket.
You are ready to play and mix the MP3/WAV files on your USB-storage. Have fun!
