FEATURES

DIVERSE MEDIA PLAYBACK SUPPORT

Supports playback of CD-R/-RW discs formatted for music CD (CD-DA) or CD graphics (CD-G), as well as compressed music files (MP3/AAC) recorded on CD-R/-RW, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, or DVD±R dual layer discs (some discs may not play properly due to unique characteristics of the individual disc, recording characteristics, and disc conditions such as scratches and soiling). Playback is also supported for compressed music files (MP3/AAC/WAV/AIFF) stored on USB storage devices.

DJ SOFTWARE

Sources potentially available on the BROWSE screen include DJ software, including both the accessory DJS program and other DJ software, even without the need for a control disc. The use of MIDI DJ software is also supported. Further, by designating the MEP-7000 as an audio output device, it can be also used for audio output, thus eliminating the necessity of using the mixer to switch between music sources.

MEMO
