4 Setting Up and
Connecting the Player
Prior to connecting any units or to changing any
existing connections, switch off the MP3 player and
the units to be connected.
The MP3 player is designed for installation into
a rack (482 mm / 19"); however, it can also be used
as a free-standing desktop unit. For rack installa-
tion, 2 rack spaces (rack space = 44.45 mm) will be
required.
1) Connect each of the two signal outputs LINE
OUT (26 and 28) to an input with line level, e. g.
of a mixer or amplifier (possible marking: Line,
CD, Aux).
2) Connect the USB ports (5) to a USB storage
medium each, e. g. USB flash drive or hard disk
(with a separate power supply, if necessary). If
only one USB storage medium is used for
replay, the port MASTER on the right should be
preferred as this port will always be selected
automatically.
3) Via a mixer with fader start feature, it will be pos-
sible to start the two player units and to set them
to pause. For this purpose, connect the jacks
FADER START (27, 29) via two cables with
3.5 mm plugs (2-pole or 3-pole) to the corre-
sponding jacks of the mixer. Set the DMP-240 to
the type of fader start of the mixer, see chap-
ter 6.
4) Connect the power supply unit provided to the
jack 9 V~ (25); then connect the mains plug to a
socket (100 – 240 V~ / 50 – 60 Hz).
5 Operation
Switch on the player with the POWER switch (4).
The operation of the two player units is identical.
Switch off the player after operation. The fol-
lowing settings will always be stored and will be
activated when the player is switched on:
1. the operating mode selected (single title replay /
continuous replay,
2. the time indication selected (remaining time of
the title / time already played,
3. the speed adjusting range selected (
