OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS C.324
UPDATING FIRMWARE
Checking Firmware Version
Turn the unit off.
Hold down the MODE button (under SAMPLE SEQUENCER) while powering up the unit.
Release MODE to go back to the normal playback mode.
Updating The Firmware
Firmware updates may, as necessary, become available from Stanton’s website (www.stantondj.com) as downloadable ISO files, which are needed to create a bootable CD. We recommend using Magic ISO Maker (www.magiciso.com) PC software to burn the disc.
Once you have burned a bootable disc from the ISO file, insert the CD into the C.324. The display will read UPDATE, then SUCCESS.
The unit will automatically eject the CD once the update is complete. Turn the unit off and back on to complete the update process.
EJECT FUNCTION
Press the eject button to eject the disc. The disc will not eject unless the player is in cue or pause mode. This prevents accidentally ejecting the disc when in play mode.
CD SLOT IN
Insert your CD in the CD Slot. Make sure that you only hold the CD with 2 fingers on the edge. Avoid touching the inside area of the CD.
Carefully place a CD with the image facing up into the CD slot. The CD is automatically pulled in. When inserting a CD of 12cm in diameter, use a conventional adapter.
DO NOT POWER OFF UNIT WHILE DISC IS INSERTED Removing the disc from the drive before powering off will insure that the laser pickup remains properly calibrated over time. Leaving a disc in the device while powering off could also cause the jog wheel sensitivity to shift, as the same "memory" is shared between laser pickup and jog wheel calibration data. See "Jog Wheel Sensitivity "on page 11 for information.

SELECTING TRACKS
Whether using MP3 or standard audio discs, tracks can be selected in one of two ways:
Select the desired track by pressing the Track BACK or FORWARD buttons to move to the previous or next track. When a new track is selected during playback, playback begins as soon as the track selection is completed.
Press the BROWSE button located to the left of the LCD display. Turn the encoder to browse the list of tracks on the CD. While the track number is flashing, push down on the encoder to select the track. If it is an MP3 disc with folders, use the FOLDER encoder to browse folders as desired. The FOLDER button will light up when in Folder mode.
