DirectStream Memory Player
To play track 1, simply press the play icon on the touch screen or the remote. Touch the same once
more to pause the disc. As the disc plays, elapsed and remaining times of the track are displayed
in the lower scrubber bar, along with a vertical indicator showing the track’s progress.
To move to a different part of the track, either forward or backwards using the touch screen, touch
the scrubber bar where you wish it to jump to and DMP instantly goes there.
You can also use the fast forward or reverse keys on the remote. Touch the top right arrow on the
remote’s round shuttle control to fast forward, the bottom left pointing arrow to reverse. The first
press forwards the player’s position in X1 steps and is indicated on the touch screen. Press the
fast forward arrow key again and the player accelerates to X2, all the way to X6. Press the play
button to resume normal play when you have reached to desired place in the track.
To move to the next track or the previous track using the touch screen, press either the right
double arrows above the scrubber bar to go forward, or the left pointing double arrows to go back.
The same controls and functions are available on the remote in the shuttle circle.
PLAYING FROM USB
The front panel of DMP features a USB input
for thumb drive memory sticks. Inserting
one into the USB input will cause DMP to
switch from disc play to USB and users can
play media stored on the drive. Supported
formats are FLAC, APE, WMA, MP3, M4A,
AAC, DTS, AC3, WAV, DSF, MKA, PCM,
OGG. This is an easy and convenient way
to transfer tracks of music from a computer
and play on DMP.
We do not recommend large numbers of
files or folders as scrolling through DMP’s
touch screen can be slow. If you have a
large number of tracks, it is recommended to
place related tracks in folders. This permits
users to choose which folder to listen to,
then open that folder and find a particular
track or play the contents of the entire folder.
Once the USB memory stick has been inserted, DMP will automatically switch from disc operation
to USB memory. The reading screen appears as DMP scans the content of the attached media.
After scanning the root folder of the device, the name of the first folder at root level (if one exists)
will be displayed and ‘DIR’ will appear in the file format area of the screen. If no folders are present,
the filename of the first audio track displays and ‘DSD’ or ‘PCM’ will appear in the file format area
of the screen.
The top left corner of the screen will now read USB Data. Users can begin playing from the first
track displayed, or use the shuttle controls to skip forward or backwards in the media.
