Although SC5000 Prime can play tracks that have not been analyzed yet, pre-analyzing them allows its features to
work most effectively. You can analyze tracks in one of two ways:
• On SC5000 Prime, load the track: When you load a track to play, SC5000 Prime will automatically analyze it
(if it has not already been analyzed). This may take a moment to complete, depending on the length of the
track. You can start playing the track from the beginning immediately, though you will need to wait a moment
for the analysis to finish.
• Use Engine Prime software: The included Engine Prime software can pre-analyze your music library to use
with SC5000 Prime. You can also use it to organize your library by creating crates and playlists. It also
manages your SC5000 Prime hardware preferences (see

To eject a USB drive or SD card:
1. Make sure none of its tracks are being played on any connected SC5000 Prime units. Ejecting a device unloads
its tracks from all networked SC5000 Prime units.
2. Press Media Eject. A list of connected devices will appear in the main display.
3. Tap and hold your finger on the name of your device until the meter is depleted and the device name
disappears from the list. If a track on the device is currently playing, you will be asked if you want to continue
ejecting, which will stop the track. Tap Cancel to cancel ejecting the device, or tap OK to eject it.
To eject additional devices, repeat Step 3.
To return to the previous screen, press Media Eject again, or tap the X in the upper-right corner.
Networking
You can network multiple SC5000 Prime units together, enabling them to share track databases, timing and BPM
information, and other data seamlessly over this connection.
This feature provides some advantages while performing. For instance, if you are using four SC5000 Prime units,
you can use one of them to browse through all tracks on all devices (USB drives or SD cards) connected to any of
those SC5000 units. You can then play any of those tracks immediately without having to move a device from one
unit to the other.
To network SC5000 Prime units together, use the included networking cables to do one of the following:
• If you are using only two SC5000 Prime units, connect their two Link ports.
• If you are using two or more SC5000 Prime units, connect each of their Link ports to a Link port (1–4) on your
Denon DJ X1800 Prime mixer.
• If you are using two or more SC5000 Prime units, connect each of their Link ports to an Ethernet port on a router.
The Network (Media Status) light will turn on when the SC5000 Prime unit is properly connected to a network.
