Press the button once again to resume playback from the position where it stopped. 3. 2 The rear panel Fig. The MIC IN connector is the balanced XLR input for your dynamic microphone. Connect the ground cable on your turntable to the GND screw on the BCD2000 housing. To connect a CD player or tape deck to this input, set the switch to LINE. It provides the main output signal, which can be adjusted with the MASTER control . OPERATION The operating concept of the B-DJ system has been designed so that you will understand it quickly and intuitively. All control elements are arranged in a way you probably know from DJ mixers or DJ CD players. The user interface (BCD2000 Blue Skin) is almost identical to the user interface of the BCD2000, so that you can control as many functions as possible from the B-CONTROL, thus knowing immediately where to do whatwithout having to touch your computer mouse. 5. 1 First steps Fig. 3. 3: POWER switch, mains and USB connectors The USB connector is used for connecting to a computer with a compatible USB port. The BCD2000 uses the USB connector to send and receive audio and control data. It should always be in the OFF position (out) when connecting the unit to or disconnecting the unit from the mains. Please note: The power switch does not completely separate your BCD2000 from AC power. If you plan on not using your BCD2000 for a prolonged period of time, please disconnect it from the mains by removing the power cable from the wall outlet. If you want to use the BCD2000 without additional audio sources (CD player, turntable, microphone), you only need to wire the outputs: + 4. THE B-DJ SOFTWARE Heres a short overview of the enclosed B-DJ program. Since many program functions are controlled from the B-CONTROL, chapter 5 describes how to work with the B-DJ system (hardware and software) as a whole. A detailed description of the B-DJ software can be found in the enclosed B-DJ manual (pdf document accessible via Configuration > Help). Fig. 4. 1: The main B-DJ window The B-DJ user interface is divided into several sections: the two decks are displayed in the lower left and right halves of the screen, like two CD players or turntables (deck A is on the left and deck B is on the right).
