MAIN FEATURES

Congratulations on your new purchase of the DN-HD2500.

The DN-HD2500 rack mount MEDIA player is equipped

with a variety of advanced features, functions and rich

performance for unlimited creativeness and

showmanship.

Features and Functions

1. Internal 40 GB HDD

The DN-HD2500 includes an internal 40 GB HDD, large

enough to store thousands of your most popular

requested music. This compelling utility allows the DN-

HD2500 to be used as your new primary “plug and

play” full featured compact system. Additionally, the

DN-HD2500 can be used as a backup system for those

DJ’s currently using laptops.

2. External USB Device Support

Got a portable music collection stored on external USB

media?

No problem the DN-HD2500 can support multiple

external USB mass storage class devices direct or via a

USB 2.0 hub (sold separately). Connect your, iPod

Jump Drive, and large USB Hard Drives for easy access

to your small or extensive MP3/WAV libraries. Simply

plug these devices into the DN-HD2500 to obtain the

powerful on-board features such as, Instant Start,

Seamless Looping, Scratching and File Searching, just

to name a few.

*Up to 4 storage devices can be connected at once.

3. DN-D4500/DN-D4000 Drive Support

The DN-D4000 and its successor, DN-D4500 are two

of the most popular dual CD/MP3 players in the world,

which is why the drive transport section was chosen to

be supported natively by the DN-HD2500. Existing

owners of these two CD/MP3 players can easily

upgrade to the DN-HD2500, which will act as your new

controller and media center. CD Media, Internal HDD

and External devices are all conveniently available at

your fingertips.

4. Keyboard Support

The DN-HD2500 will support any standard USB

keyboard for simplified song search of Artist, Album,

Title, Genre, Year, BPM and Playlists.

5. SCRATCH

The JOG disc construction consists of clear JOG disc,

slip sheet to ensure the same feeling and performance

as found in an analog turntable.

6. MP3/WAV PLAY BACK

It is possible to play MP3 files created in the specified

format found on page 24.

Files can be searched for easily either manually, or by

scanning or using a number of file search functions

(Artist, Album, Title, Genre, Year, BPM, File Name)

7. NEXT FILE RESERVE

The next file can be selected while continuing to play

the current file for a seamless transition.

8. Cross Fade

In conjunction with the Next File feature, the DN-

HD2500 can perform a smooth internal cross fade

when transitioning to the new file.

9. HOT START and STUTTER

The Hot Start function lets you start playback

immediately from a set point decided by you. Up to

two points can be set using the A1 and A2 buttons.

The loaded Hot Starts can also be used to “Stutter”

those same points. When in Stutter mode,

momentary audio is triggered according to the length

of time of which these buttons are held down and

released.

10. SEAMLESS LOOP

With this function, any section on a file or playlist can

be played repeatedly between A & B points with no

break in sound or limit in length. The DN-HD2500 has

a variety of looping options such as Exit. Reloop and

dual looping.

11. A/B TRIM

The A or B points for the Seamless Loop can easily be

adjusted using the JOG disc. Adjustments can be

made in real-time while playing the live loop.

12. AUTO BPM COUNTER, BPM LOCK, MANUAL TAP,

and MANUAL BPM INPUT

In addition to the Auto BPM counter and Manual Tap

function, the DN-HD2500 is also equipped with a Lock

function for temporarily locking the Auto BPM

counter. A Manual BPM Input function is available too

for inputting the known BPM value directly by a

Rotary knob, so the BPM setting can be made easily.

13. ON BOARD EFFECT’S

Six types of effectors are included.

ECHO/LOOP: The ECHO and LOOP functions can be

selected. Looping for the feedback

time (ECHO LOOP) is possible by

setting the feedback number to

“MAX”.

FLANGER: The feedback time and feedback gain

can be selected.

FILTER: One of three filters (LOW PASS, MID

PASS and HIGH PASS) can be selected

and Individually adjusted.

14. PLATTER MODE

Analog turntable-like playback can be simulated using

three Platter effects.

DUMP: Plays the sound backwards while

continuing in a forward motion without

losing “elapse time” when you return back

to normal play. (Like a radio edit)

BRAKE: Simulates a winding-down sound of a

turntable coming to a full stop slowly.

(Slowing-down time can be adjusted.)

REVERSE:(Reverse) Plays the sound backwards until

you return to normal play.

15. MEMO

Cue point, BPM, Pitch Setting & Range, Pitch

ON/OFF, Key Adjust ON/OFF, and Seamless Loop A

and B data can be stored directly to the file for later

recall.

16. PITCH/KEY ADJUST

PITCH: Playback speed is adjusted with

PITCH slider. Adjustable pitch

ranges are +/– 4, 10, 16, 24, 50,

100 % (selectable live).

KEY ADJUST: Keeps the original key even if the

pitch playing speed is changed

with the PITCH slider.

17. DIGITAL OUT

The digital output for Main provides a true 100 %

digital signal without any restrictions or limitations

regardless of pitch change or mode setting.

18. FADER START

The DN-HD2500 FADER START controls are

compatible with our DN-X500, DN-X900 or DN-

X1500S mixers.

19. PRESETS

It is possible to customise the machine to your

preference by saving your favourite setting to internal

memory. For items found in the presets, please see

page 23.

20. Power on Play

The player can be set so that playback starts when the

power is turned on.

21. Relay Play

When this mode is set, Deck1 and Deck2 starts

playback alternately.

This unit can relay the playback of Deck1 and Deck2.

22. Software Upgradeable by USB

to current features or add new compelling ones based
