1.
Power Button – This button is used to turn
the DDS Drive on and off. Please always
use this button when powering off the unit.
Unplugging the power cable or switching off
power from an external source, such as a
power strip, may result in damage to the
drive.
2. USB Removable Media Input – Please
attach your removable media to this USB
port*. When the DDS Drive is connected
to the DDS Console, any mass storage
device connected to this port will be
accessible from the DDS Console.
3. Eject– This button opens and closes the
CD/DVD drive tray. Please note that you
cannot eject the tray if actively playing back
or cueing music from the drive.
4. CD/DVD Drive – Insert CD/DVD discs into
this drive. You can play audio CDs as well
as data CD and DVD discs, as long as the
music files are in one of the compatible file
formats. See "Formats" section of
Reference Manual for more information on
supported file formats.
5. Hard Drive – The unit’s hard drive holds
your personal music collection, which is
ready to use as soon as the DDS Drive is
connected to the DDS Console via the USB
port on the rear panel. When connected to
a computer, this hard drive will show up as
an external drive, allowing you to transfer
music and build a Library directly from your
computer.
6. Lock – Use the included key to lock and
unlock the hard drive from its enclosure.
Please note that the hard drive needs to be
in and locked for the hard drive to function.
7. USB Port (on rear panel) – Use the
included USB cable to connect the DDS
Drive. There are two connection scenarios:
a. Connect to DDS Console
– when connected to one of
the USB ports on the DDS
Console, you can access
music from the hard drive or
the CD/DVD player directly
from the DDS Console.
b. Connect to computer –
when connected to a
computer’s USB port, the
DDS Drive functions as an
external hard drive and CD-
ROM. We highly
recommend using the
Librarian application,
included on the drive, to
build your music Library.
IMPORTANT: Always follow proper procedure when
disconnecting the DDS Drive from the DDS Console
or your computer. Failure to properly eject the drive
before removing the connection or turning off power
may damage the drive and its contents.
*PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS EJECT YOUR USB MEDIA BEFORE PHYSICALLY REMOVING
IT, OTHERWISE THE DATA MAY BECOME CORRUPT AND UNUSABLE.
