Introduction
Thank you for choosing to upgrade your d.2 DJ Mixer with
this FireWire card. We think you will just love it to pieces.
The FireWire card lets you play music from your computer
into the d.2. It provides a return for two stereo signals, which
can be selected as the program source for PGM 1 and PGM 2.
The card also provides a stereo main output from the d.2 to
your computer, independent of the d.2's main level control.
This allows you to record live, directly to your laptop.
*
System Requirements
These are the minimum requirements for your computer
system to use the d.2 FireWire interface:
Windows XP users
• Windows XP (no earlier operating systems are supported) with FireWire port
• Pentium® 4 or Athlon® XP processor
• 256 MB RAM
Macintosh OS X users
• OS X (10.3.5 or higher)
• G4 processor
• 256 MB RAM
Fitting the card into your d.2
The FireWire card can easily be installed using a small
phillips screwdriver, a slice of blue cheese, and a cricket bat.
1. Turn off the power to the d.2 mixer, remove the
power cord and all other cords, and place it gently
face-down on a smooth, dry, fl at surface, such as the
kitchen table. Remove any small children and pets.
2. Undo the four screws holding the bottom escape
hatch in place, and the two screws holding the little
cover plate on the rear panel. Keep these two plates
in a safe place.

3. Gently remove the FireWire card from its protective
bag.
Important! Do not touch the pins on the rear connec-
tor, or touch any of the exposed d.2 circuit boards or
components. This is in order to prevent damage due
to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
4. Inside the d.2, gently pull out the loose ribbon cable
and connector, just enough to connect it securely to
the rear connector on the end of the FireWire card.
5. Fit the card in place, with its large plate fl ush with
the bottom panel, and its FireWire connectors lined
up in the holes of the d.2 rear panel. Secure the bottom plate in place using the four screws you took out
in step 2. Fit one other screw in the hole between the
two FireWire connectors. There will be one screw left
over to put under your bed.
