CHECKING THE CONTENTS

Tabletop CD player unit

INSTALLING THE UNIT
Place the unit on a flat, level surface.
Be sure the player is in a well-ventilated area where it will not be exposed
to direct sunlight, high temperatures, or high humidity
Try to place the unit as far as possible from TVs and tuners, as the unit
may cause undesirable interference.
The player will work normally when the unit is within 15 degrees of
the vertical plane. If the unit is tilted excessively, discs may not insert
or eject properly, or playback may be adversely affected.
The unit's LCD screen is designed to be clearly visible within the
angles shown in the following figure. Place the unit so that the LCD
screen is within this visual range for optimal clarity.
UPDATING FIRMWARE
Checking Firmware Version
Turn the unit off.
Hold down the MODE button (under SAMPLE SEQUENCER) while
powering up the unit.
Release MODE to go back to the normal playback mode.
Updating The Firmware
Firmware updates may, as necessary, become available from Stanton's
website (www.stantondj.com) as downloadable ISO files, which are
needed to create a bootable CD. We recommend using Magic ISO Maker
(www.magiciso.com) PC software to burn the disc.
Once you have burned a bootable disc from the ISO file, insert the CD
into the C.324. The display will read UPDATE, then SUCCESS.
The unit will automatically eject the CD once the update is complete.
Turn the unit off and back on to complete the update process.
EJECT FUNCTION
Press the eject button to eject the disc. The disc will not eject unless the
player is in cue or pause mode. This prevents accidentally ejecting the
disc when in play mode.
CD SLOT IN
Insert your CD in the CD Slot. Make sure that you only hold the CD with 2
fingers on the edge. Avoid touching the inside area of the CD.
Carefully place a CD with the image facing up into the CD slot. The CD is
automatically pulled in. When inserting a CD of 12cm in diameter, use a
conventional adapter.
SET UP
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTIONS
Make sure that the unit and any other equipment in the signal chain are
turned off prior to making any connections.
Connect the RCA cable to the rear of the unit and to the input on your
mixer.
Connect the power cable to the rear of the unit and to a proper AC outlet.
CAUTION
Be sure to use the supplied cables. Using other types of cables may result
in damage to the unit.
To avoid severe damage to the unit, be sure power is OFF when making
any connections.
LCD SCREEN
DO NOT POWER OFF UNIT WHILE DISC IS INSERTED
Removing the disc from the drive before powering off will insure
that the laser pickup remains properly calibrated over time.
Leaving a disc in the device while powering off could also cause
the jog wheel sensitivity to shift, as the same "memory" is
shared between laser pickup and jog wheel calibration data.
See "Jog Wheel Sensitivity "on page 11 for information.
BURNING CD-Rs CD-RWs
When burning CD-Rs or CD-RWs for the C.324, it is strongly
recommended to set your burner at 8x write speed. You can
change the write speed within your CD burning software.

SELECTING TRACKS
Whether using MP3 or standard audio discs, tracks can be selected in one
of two ways:
Select the desired track by pressing the Track BACK or FORWARD buttons
to move to the previous or next track. When a new track is selected during
playback, playback begins as soon as the track selection is completed.
Press the BROWSE button located to the left of the LCD display. Turn the
encoder to browse the list of tracks on the CD. While the track number
is flashing, push down on the encoder to select the track. If it is an MP3
disc with folders, use the FOLDER encoder to browse folders as desired.
The FOLDER button will light up when in Folder mode.
