Selecting Devices & Database Creation - Cortex HDTT-5000 Operation Manual

STEP ONE - DEVICE SELECTION
When prompted, select the desired storage device, on each side, that
you wish to access. Use the Navigator Keypad to advance through the
list of devices, and press Enter to select.
If necessary, you can also connect other USB storage devices without
powering down the unit.
Note that when you select a storage device on one side, the unit will be
required to complete any necessary Database Creation before being
able to select a device on the opposite side. During this time, the oppo-
site screen will display "Wait for other side."
STEP TWO - INDEXING
Once you have selected a device, the unit will search for a data-
base of the music that exists on that device. If it is the first time
you are using that particular unit with the HDTT-5000, the unit will
prompt you to perform indexing, so that you can search for any
song within seconds. If you already have used the storage device
with the HDTT-5000, skip to STEP TWO - VERIFICATION.
If you wish to create the database using the HDTT-5000, select
'YES' from this prompt.
During the indexing procedure, the unit must create a database
based off of the ID3 tags that exist on the storage device. The speed of
this procedure directly relates to how many songs are stored on the con-
nected device. If you are using a hard drive over 20 gigs, or an NTFS
device, we suggest that you use the Cortex Database Creation PC appli-
cation to perform the indexing, as it will save time (especially with a fast
CPU). The Cortex Database Creation software is available for FREE
from http://www.cortex-pro.com in the HDTT-5000 section of the site.
Once the indexing procedure has begun, it can be cancelled by pressing
the Info button.
VERIFICATION
If your storage device has already been indexed, you will be presented
with a prompt allowing you to verify the database. For each time that
you add files to your storage device, you will either have to use the
Verify function to add those files to the index, or use the Cortex
Database Creation PC application.
We strongly suggest using the Database Creation Software, as it can
process files at many times the speed of the HDTT-5000 itself.
