can connect any USB-based mass storage device like USB-sticks and small, portable hard disks. Even
some portable phones with built-in MP3 function can be connected however this doesn't work always...
(to be tested by the user)
See "Source Select" button n°16 description for more information on how to select the desired memory
device.
PS: although the USB slots can deliver the 5Vdc needed for portable hard disks, we recommend using a
hard disk with separate power supply input. This will result in a more stable setup.
31. AUDIO OUTPUT from right player: Output for the audio signal from the right player. Use the supplied
cinch/cinch cables to connect these outputs to the CD/line input of an external mixing unit.
32. AUDIO OUTPUT from left player or mixer: Output depends on the MIXER MODE you selected in the
setup menu (see chapter SETUP MENU for more information):
 MIXER MODE = Ext -Tone: output for the audio signal from the left player. Use the supplied
cinch/cinch cables to connect these outputs to the CD/line input of an external mixing unit.
 MIXER MODE = Ext +Tone: same as "Ext –Tone" but now the tone controls can be used.
 MIXER MODE = internal mixer: for the audio signal from the mixer. Use the supplied
cinch/cinch cables to connect this output to the input of an amplifier or powered speaker
cabinets.
33. FADER START Sockets: If you are using a mixer with fader start function, connect the player with the
fader start of the mixer. Please note that these sockets must never be connected with any voltage.

SETUP MENU

In the setup menu you can adapt several parameters of the
USB900 to your personal taste. To access the setup menu,
just press the SEARCH button (3) for about 1.5sec: the
display shows "SETUP MENU" while the red SEARCH
button (serves as NO-button) and green BPM/CUE button
(serves as YES-button) are both lit. You can browse the
setup menu with the JOG wheel (4). Use the YES button to
select submenus and options, use the NO button to return to
the main menu. To leave the setup menu, press the
SEARCH button (3) again for about 1.5seconds. Below
please find the explanation of the different sub menus and
options:
PITCH BEND:
The pitch bend parameter determines the impact of the jog
wheel on the pitch bend function. The CD-player comes with
the pitch bend parameter set to 50. You can adjust the
parameter between 001 (very little impact) to 100 (extreme
impact) to adapt the pitch bend function perfectly to your
personal taste! You can select different values for the left
and right players.
TIME MODE:
Used to select if you want to see the remaining or elapsed
time of the selected track on the display. You can select a
different time display for the left and right players.
PLAY MODE:
For each deck you can choose a different play mode:
 Continuous play: all tracks on the memory device will be
played without interruption. (mostly used in pubs)
 Single + autocue: player stops at the end of each track
and waits at the first music note of the next track. (mostly
used by deejays) This means that badly indexed CDs will
not interfere with the instant start capabilities of the player.
This is a very useful feature for deejays!
 Single no autocue: player stops at the end of each track
and waits at the beginning of the next track, not at the first
music note!
