Getting started
1. Before plugging in your DG2 for the first time, you will need to ensure that your computer is running the
necessary operating system and Apple Audio Extensions.
2. To verify that your computer is running the correct operating system, close all open applications. Click on
the apple icon in the top right had corner of the screen. Scroll down to the first item in the pop up menu
called About This Computer and click on it. A window with details of the operating system currently
running on your computer will now open. Verify that in the Version line, a number 9.0.4 or higher appears.
If this, or a higher number appears, you’re running an operating system that is compatible with the DG2.
If you’re running an earlier version of the Mac operating system, your DG2 may not operate.
3. To verify that your computer is running the necessary Apple Audio Extensions, close all open applications.
On the desktop, find the icon that corresponds with your Mac hard drive. Double click on it. A window will
open listing all the files and folders on your hard drive. Scroll down and find the System Folder icon. Click
on the arrow to the left of the System Folder icon so that all the folders contained in the System Folder
become visible. Scroll down until you find the Extensions folder and click on the arrow to the left of the
folder icon. In the files that are listed in the Extensions folder, scroll down and verify that a file Apple
Audio Extension appears. Check that the version of this file is 1.0.5 or higher. If a version column does
not appear, go to View in the top navigation bar and select View Options. Place a check next to Version in
the Show Columns section. Click on OK. A version column will now appear and let you check the version
of the Apple Audio Extension file running on your computer. If your system is not running Apple Audio
Extension 1.0.5 or higher, the DG2 may not operate.
4. After verifying your computer has the necessary operating system and audio extensions, close all
applications. Plug the supplied USB cable into a USB port on your computer. Now plug the DG2 into the
other end of the USB cable. Don’t plug the DG2 into a USB hub, as other devices on the hub may effect
the digital audio data, causing unwanted pops and clicks in your recordings.
5. Your computer will now automatically initiate the DG2 and set it as preferred playback device. After a few
seconds, you should notice that no audio will come out of your computer speakers. If you can still hear
sound coming out your computer speakers, verify that you’re running at least the minimum operating
system and apple audio extensions requirements. If you are, restart your system with the DG2 plugged in
to let your system initialize it. That’s all there is to installing the DG2. Now head on to the next section,
"Loading MusicMatch Jukebox Plus."
Loading MusicMatch Jukebox Plus
Contained on the MusicMatch CD is a copy of MusicMatch Jukebox Plus, a powerful program that will let you
compile and play various forms of computer and CD audio. It will also let you rip tracks from audio CDs and
turn them into your own MP3 files. While your DG2 will work with any of your other favorite media players, we
suggest using MusicMatch Jukebox Plus because of it’s track marking feature which assists MD recorders in
automatically adding track marks. To install MusicMatch Jukebox Plus:
1. Insert the CD into the CD drive and when the icon that corresponds to the CD appears on your desktop,
double click on it. This will open a window that contains the Music Match Jukebox installer.
2. Double click on the icon labeled MusicMatch Jukebox 2.0 Xitel. This will install MusicMatch Jukebox onto
your hard drive.
3. If you want, you can choose a different folder, or create a new folder, into which the installer will load
MusicMatch Jukebox. If at any time during installation you’re prompted to type in a registration key, enter
the code that appears on the outside of your CD cover. This will unlock all the advanced features of
MusicMatch Jukebox Plus.
4. After the installation is complete, you should restart your Mac.
