With a ground-breaking and easily accessible user interface, the plug and play design empowers the DJ to quickly find, organize and perform tracks from connected USB storage devices. Songs can be directed manually to decks or automatically played, jukebox-style. Powerful tools such as the Crate and Profile View offer a digital slant on traditional DJ methods. The Crate can be used to prepare and arrange your set in advance, during your performance or a mixture of both. The Profile View offers a fast visual cueing aid, much like looking at the grooves on a record, but better! In addition to rock-solid connectivity with the companion DDS Drive, the DDS Console boasts three additional USB connections for a wide variety of storage options. These include the Apple iPod®, thumb drives and external hard drives. Searching for artists, albums or tracks is made super fast with the supplied USB keyboard. The DDS Console can play MP3, WAV and AAC* music formats stored on FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and HFS+ file systems. We have provided this Quickstart Guide as a starting point for your explorations. If you just can’t wait to begin using the unit, please take a few moments to go through this guide to quickly learn about basic operation. However, we highly recommend reading the Reference Manual included on the DDS Drive to get the most out of your DDS80.

Go to for support. IMPORTANT MESSAGES DDS works best with the latest software installed. We strongly recommend that you check for software updates right away, and continue to check regularly so you don't miss out on any of the good stuff! See “DDS Software Upgrades” section of Reference Manual for details and visit for the latest software updates. Don't Force It USB devices fit into the USB socket one way around only. If the device does not push in easily, don't force it – check that you have it the right way around! Eject Before Pulling When you're finished with a storage device, always properly eject it before unplugging, just like with your home computer! Unplugging without ejecting can damage your data. See “Ejecting a Library” section for details. USB Gizmos Mice, trackpads and other input devices will do nothing for your DDS. Most USB keyboards are supported but we recommend you use the cool Numark keyboard supplied. ® iPod is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc., registered in the U.S.A. and other countries. * Protected AAC audio files downloaded from the iTunes Music Store cannot be accessed. 3 CONNECTION DIAGRAM DJ MIXER AMP/SPEAKER SYSTEM USB KEYBOARD THUMB DRIVE OR OTHER USB STORAGE DEVICE 1.
