3. All types of USB devices

q Operation of the USB device may be unstable when

using the bus power only.

w Depending on the USB devices’ specifications, some

devices may not be identified, for example when
using multiple devices.

e If the USB device is not recognized, it might be

recognized if it is disconnected then reconnected.

r Devices on which power is supplied from the device

to the host equipment side in a way not conforming
to USB standards could damage the host equipment.
Do not use such devices.

t Do not disconnect a USB device when it is selected

to be operated by the DN-HS5500 or when the
database is being created. Disconnecting while the
device is being accessed could damage files, etc.

y For large capacity USB devices and USB devices that

are not specifically designed for data storage (MP3
players, etc.), it may take some time for the device to
be recognized after it is connected to the DN­HS5500.

u Use devices in agreement with or conforming to

compliance tests.

4. DENON DJ Music Manager

q Computer on which the Windows XP Service Pack 2

operating system is installed.

w HDD with enough free space for DENON DJ Music

Manager to operate. (20 MB)

e USB 2.0 connection terminal.

NOTE:

• Keys (characters) other than the ones on the above
table are used when inputting characters. For a list of
the characters that can be used, see the section
called “ABOUT CHARACTER INPUT”.

Previously it was only possible to switch the deck using
the “Tab” key on the keyboard, but now in addition to the
“Tab” key it is also possible to operate the PARAMETERS
knob when searching to make keyboard input effective for
the deck on the side to which the knob was operated.

5. iPod

®

q Only Windows format iPods®can be used.

Macintosh format iPods®cannot be used.

w MP3/WAV files transferred from iTunes®to an iPod

®

are read-only files, so the MEMO function cannot be
used with them.

e In iTunes®, place a check mark at “Manually manage

music” in “Summary” – “Options”.

r MP3/WAV files transferred from iTunes®to an iPod

®

are managed with iPod’s®specific file names, so it is
not possible to search using the original file names.
We recommend searching using ID3 tags (artist,
album, title, genre, year, BPM, etc.).
✽ iPod®and iTunes®are trademarks or registered

trademarks of Apple Computer, Inc.

6. Others

q With the DN-HS5500, the software can be updated

using a USB device, but note that some time may be
required for the device to be recognized.

w Do not use cables other than those conforming to

USB standards. Using modified USB cables could
damage the DN-HS5500.

e If there is a large number of files stored in folders on

the device, searching may take some time and
operation may be unstable. Keep the number of files
per folder to under 1000.

NOTE:

• When connecting the DN-HS5500 to a computer, do
not use any software other than DENON DJ Music
Manager.
The data on the HDD may be destroyed and the DN­HS5500 may be damaged if any software other than
DENON DJ Music Manager is used.

About connected devices

1. USB Hub

q Up to 4 mass storage devices and 1 keyboard can be

connected.

w It is not possible to connect multiple USB hubs.
e Be sure to use hi-speed compatible devices to ensure

transfer performance.
(Products marked with the hi-speed USB logo
recommended)

r Bus power type USB hubs have a low power supply

capacity, so the operation of the USB device
connected to such hubs may be unstable. When
using USB HDDs which require strong power or
when using multiple USB devices, be sure to use a
self-powered type USB hub.

t When using a self-powered type USB hub, be sure to

supply power to it when using it.

y If a USB device connected to the USB hub is not

recognized by the DN-HS5500, try disconnecting then
reconnecting the device. If there are multiple devices
connected to the hub, in some cases they will be
recognized if the order in which they are connected is
changed. It is best to connect one device at a time to
check if it is recognized, then add more devices,
checking each time.

u Tu rn the power of the DN-HS5500 off when

connecting the USB hub to it.

2. USB Keyboard

q Qwerty, Qwertz, Azerty type keyboard layouts are

supported.

w Do not connect multiple units. Doing so will prevent

proper operation.

e The DN-HS5500 can be operated from the keyboard.

For the usable keys and their functions, refer to the
table right.
