REAR PANEL OVERVIEW
1.
Power – Please plug the supplied power adapter (DC 12V 2A) and connect it to a power source. Please
only use the supplied power adapter – using an alternate power adapter may result in damage to the D2
Director.
2. DC Restraint – You may use this restraint to secure the power adapter cord to the unit. This will prevent
the cord from being accidentally unplugged.
3. USB Inputs – Please attach your mass storage media to these two available USB ports* – a hub can be
used to expand to more USB inputs, but you should never plug a hub into a hub. We recommend you
use only powered hubs for maximum reliability. You may also connect the included USB keyboard to
one of these ports for quick navigation and searching.
Note: D2 Director can play MP3, WAV and AAC music formats stored on FAT16, FAT32, NTFS
(read-only) and HFS+ file systems.
4. Line Out (B) – This RCA connection will output the audio signal from deck B on the D2. Please use the
supplied stereo RCA cable to connect to a line-level input of your DJ mixer.
5. Line Out (A) – This RCA connection will output the audio signal from deck A on the D2. Please use the
supplied stereo RCA cable to connect to a line-level input of your DJ mixer.
6. Fader Start Connectors – Use these connectors to plug into your fader-start compatible mixer. Fader
Start allows you to remotely start playback on either deck from a fader-start compatible mixer. With this
feature, every time you move the crossfader on your mixer toward either side, the track loaded on that
deck will begin playing. To use the D2 with a fader-start compatible mixer, connect the supplied fader-
start cables from the two connectors on the D2 to the fader-start connectors on your mixer.
