4. All types of USB devices

qOperation of the USB device may be unstable when

using the bus power only.

wDepending on the USB devices’ specifications, some

devices may not be identified, for example when

using multiple devices.

eIf the USB device is not recognized, it might be

recognized if it is disconnected then reconnected.

rDevices on which power is supplied from the device

to the host equipment side in a way not conforming

to USB standards could damage the host equipment.

Do not use such devices.

tDo not disconnect a USB device when it is selected

to be operated by the DN-HD2500 or when the

database is being created. Disconnecting while the

device is being accessed could damage files, etc.

yFor large capacity USB devices and USB devices that

are not specifically designed for data storage (MP3

players, etc.), it may take some time for the device to

be recognized after it is connected to the DN-

HD2500.

uUse devices in agreement with or conforming to

compliance tests.

5. PC

qComputer on which the Windows XP Service Pack 2

operating system is installed

wHDD with enough free space for DENON DJ Music

Manager to operate

eUSB 2.0 connection terminal

NOTE:

•Keys (characters) other than the ones on the above

the characters that can be used, see the section

called “ABOUT CHARACTER INPUT”.

6. DN-D4000/4500/BU4500 Drive Unit

qFor a description of the functions and handling of the

DN-D4000/4500/BU4500, refer to the respective

model’s operating instructions.

wRefer to the separate table for the correspondence

between the front panel keys of the DN-

D4000/4500/BU4500 and DN-HD2500.

eIf the drive unit’s power is turned off while DN-

HD2500 is in the drive unit control mode, the device

selected for operation switches automatically to the

DN-HD2500’s internal hard disk.

rIn the case of e, the drive unit cannot be

reconnected to the DN-HD2500 simply by turning its

power back on. To reconnect it, you must either

disconnect then reconnect the connection cable

between the DN-HD2500 and the drive unit or turn

the DN-HD2500’s power off then back on.

NOTE:

•When connecting the DN-HD2500 to a computer, do

not use any software other than DENON DJ Music

Manager.

The data on the HDD may be destroyed and the DN-

HD2500 may be damaged if any software other than

DENON DJ Music Manager is used.

2. USB Hub

qUp to 4 mass storage devices and 1 keyboard can be

connected.

wIt is not possible to connect multiple USB hubs.

eBe sure to use hi-speed compatible devices to ensure

transfer performance.

(Products marked with the hi-speed USB logo

recommended)

rBus power type USB hubs have a low power supply

capacity, so the operation of the USB device

connected to such hubs may be unstable. When

using USB HDDs which require strong power or

when using multiple USB devices, be sure to use a

self-powered type USB hub.

tWhen using a self-powered type USB hub, be sure to

supply power to it when using it.

yIf a USB device connected to the USB hub is not

recognized by the DN-HD2500, try disconnecting

then reconnecting the device. If there are multiple

devices connected to the hub, in some cases they

will be recognized if the order in which they are

connected is changed. It is best to connect one

device at a time to check if it is recognized, then add

more devices, checking each time.

uTurn the power of the DN-HD2500 off when

connecting the USB hub to it.

3. USB Keyboard

qOnly “QWERTY” type keyboard layouts are

supported.

wDo not connect multiple units. Doing so will prevent

proper operation.

eThe DN-HD2500 can be operated from the keyboard.

For the usable keys and their functions, refer to the

table below.

7. iPod®

qOnly Windows format iPods®can be used.

Macintosh format iPods®cannot be used.

wMP3/WAV files transferred from iTunes®to an iPod®

are read-only files, so the MEMO function cannot be

used with them.

eIn iTunes®, place a check mark at “Manually manage

music” in “Summary” – “Options”.

rMP3/WAV files transferred from iTunes®to an iPod®

are managed with iPod’s®specific file names, so it is

not possible to search using the original file names.

We recommend searching using ID3 tags (artist,

album, title, genre, year, BPM, etc.).

8. Others

qWith the DN-HD2500, the software can be updated

using a USB device, but note that some time may be

required for the device to be recognized.

wDo not use cables other than those conforming to

USB standards. Using modified USB cables could

damage the DN-HD2500.

eIf there is a large number of files stored in folders on

the device, searching may take some time and

operation may be unstable. Keep the number of files

per folder to under 1000.
