INTRODUCTION

DDS80 is a revolutionary DJ system, featuring a 3U rack-mountable dual-deck console and a 2U rack-
mountable USB2.0 hard drive companion with CD/DVD support. 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.

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 for details.
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.
