INSTALLING THE TRACK-INDEXER SOFTWARE
The USB2.2 works perfectly without the Track-Indexer database files but if you want to search your tracks
easily and lightning fast than you should install the Track-Indexer software on your computer! Please note
that the program currently only works under Windows (XP, Vista, Win7). To be sure that you always have the
latest version, you can download the software from the USB2.2 product page on our website. Installing the
program is very easy: just double-click the file and follow the instructions on your screen.
USING THE TRACK-INDEXER SOFTWARE
Each time you add or remove tracks from your USB hard disk,
you must run the TRACK-INDEXER software again to update the Track-Indexer database files!
After the installation you will see a new program directory called “JB”. In this directory you will find 2 files:
-
Uninstall (to uninstall the software)
-
DbBuilder (to start the software)
Connect your USB-hard drive to your PC and check which drive letter
was assigned to it.
Click on the Track-Indexer icon to start the software: the main screen
is shown.
In the upper center choose your USB-drive.
Press the BUILD-button.
The software starts scanning the USB-drive for compatible audio
files and extracts the ID3-tags to build the Track-Indexer
database files, needed to speed up the search function on the
player. Once the progression bar on the bottom is full, the
database building process is finished and a short summary is shown.
The program wrote the Track-Indexer files (file extensions: .DBH + .dat + .DBX) to the USB-drive so now
you can remove it from your PC and connect it to the USB2.2.
To achieve the best results, please always use the latest version of the Track-Indexer database software.
You can find the software version at the bottom left of the “About” screen.
! IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR VISTA USERS !
Many Vista users will not be able to run the Track-Indexer software.
This problem is caused by the UAC (
U
ser
A
ccount
C
ontrol) limitation,
a security option limiting the user privileges in Vista. To overcome this
problem, right-click the Track-Indexer program icon and choose “Run
as administrator” in the popup menu. Windows will respond with the
window shown on the right: just click “Allow”.

HOW TO USE …
Most of the common functions are explained in the previous chapter “controls and functions” In this chapter
we talk about the functions that need a little more explanation.
SOME GENERAL FUNCTIONS:
SEARCH A TRACK WITH THE TRACK-INDEXER SYSTEM:
Important:
before you can use the Track-Indexer system, you should scan your USB-drive so it contains
the necessary database files.
You can choose the search-key at any moment by pressing the TRACK-knob (9) while you turn it. You can
search for
Art
(artist),
tit
(title), Alb(album) or
Gen
(genre).
Press the DATABASE-button (10) to start the lookup function
the first character of the list you want
to search is blinking in the display.
Turn the TRACK-knob (9) to change the first character.
Selected search-key is ”tit”:
turn the JOG WHEEL (1) to browse the list of titles, starting with
the selected first character.
Selected search-key is NOT “tit”:
see the example below for search-key =
Art
(artist)
First turn the JOG WHEEL (1) while you keep the TRACK-knob (9) pressed to browse the list
of artists, starting with the selected first character.
Once you have selected the desired artist, stop pressing the TRACK-knob (9) while you
continue turning the JOG WHEEL (1): now you can browse all the titles from this artist, in
alphabetical order.
Once you have found the right track: press the LOAD TRACK-button (18).
SEARCH A TRACK WITHOUT THE TRACK-INDEXER SYSTEM:
Press and turn the TRACK-knob (9) to select
Std
(standard lookup system). If the USB-drive has no Track-
Indexer files, the player automatically selects the standard lookup system. You have Two options:
Option 1:
Simply use the combination of FOLDER-button and TRACK-knob to browse the different directories.
Option 2:
Press the DATABASE-button (10) to start the lookup function
both the FOLDER and TRACK
displays start blinking.
Turn the TRACK knob (9) to browse the folders. (when the folder LED = on, you will see the folder
names while browsing)
Turn the JOG WHEEL (1) to browse the selected folder at high speed.
Once you have found the right track: press the LOAD TRACK-button (18).

if you want to browse you folders/tracks at high speed, you can use this method:

turn the JOG-WHEEL while you keep the TRACK-knob pressed (folder LED = on)
Browse tracks:

SLEEP MODE:
When source select is set to CD, the player automatically shuts off the transport and laser after about
5~120 minutes (selectable in the setup menu), while in pause or cue mode. This extends the life of your
motor drive and laser. During sleep mode the display shows the word “SLEEP”. To wake up the player,
just press the cue or play button, the display turns to normal and is ready to receive instructions.
RELAY (RANDOM) FUNCTION FOR CDs:
First open the 2 faders of the CD inputs on your mixer. Put a disc in both players and start playback on
one of the units. Press the RELAY button to enable the relay function. Alternately a track will be played
from both units until the relay function is disengaged. You can always put a new CD in the player that is
waiting in pause. In this way you can create an endless program, perfect for use in pubs etc.
NOTE:
by switching on the relay function you automatically put both players in single mode.
