19. BEATKEEPER™ – A beatsync bargraph
illustrates the beats with red LEDs and can
be used as a visual aid to beatmatch
tracks. Synced decks will show a blue LED
between the two red LEDs.
20. MODE – Change deck options such as
Track Loading, Time Display, Fader Start
and Jog Mode and Pitch settings.
Track Loading determines how tracks are
loaded from the Crate: Automatic loads the
next track, Continuous will autoplay it,
Cyclic sends the played track to the end of
the Crate list, Repeat will loop playback of
the current track.
Jog Mode describes the operation of the
deck’s jog wheel when cueing music: Vinyl
causes the music to stop, CD causes the
music to loop the next 0.2 seconds
continuously when the jog wheel stops
moving.
Twisting the PUSH SELECT knob will
change settings; pressing it will move to the
next option. Press MODE again to exit.
21. LOOP IN – Sets the start point of the loop.
If you wish to change the loop in point,
press the LOOP IN button again.
22. LOOP OUT – Sets the end point of the
loop; playback begins looping. To release
or end the loop press LOOP OUT a second
time and play will continue forward when
the track passes the loopout point.
23. RELOOP – Repeats play (stutters) from the
loop in point. If a loop has been set, it plays
and repeats the previously set loop until
released by pressing LOOP OUT.
24. EJECT – Press to display a menu of
connected USB devices. Highlight a device,
then press the function button below the
display to eject, thereafter you may
disconnect the device.

1.
Power – Please plug in the supplied power
adapter (DC 12V 2A) and connect it to a
power source. Please only use the
supplied power adapter – using an
alternate power adapter may result in
damage to the DDS.
2. DC Restraint – You may use this restraint
to secure the power adapter cord to the
unit. This will prevent the cord from being
accidentally unplugged.
3. USB Inputs – Please attach your mass
storage media to these two available USB
ports* – a hub can be used to expand to
more USB inputs, but you should never
plug a hub into a hub. We recommend you
use only powered hubs for maximum
reliability. You may also connect the
included USB keyboard to one of these
ports for quick navigation and searching.
Note: DDS can play MP3, WAV and
AAC music formats stored on FAT16,
FAT32, NTFS (read-only) and HFS+
file systems.
4. Line Out (B) – This RCA connection will
output the audio signal from deck B on the
DDS. Please use the supplied stereo RCA
cable to connect to a line-level input of your
DJ mixer.
5. Line Out (A) – This RCA connection will
output the audio signal from deck A on the
DDS. Please use the supplied stereo RCA
cable to connect to a line-level input of your
DJ mixer.
6. Fader Start Connectors – Use these
connectors to plug into your fader-start
compatible mixer. Fader Start allows you to
remotely start playback on either deck from
a fader-start compatible mixer. With this
feature, every time you move the
crossfader on your mixer toward either
side, the track loaded on that deck will
begin playing. To use the DDS with a
fader-start compatible mixer, connect the
supplied fader-start cables from the two
connectors on the DDS to the fader-start
connectors on your mixer. See “Deck
Mode Settings” section of Reference
Manual for more information.
