Networking
You can use X1850 PRIME to network multiple compatible Denon DJ media players together,
enabling them to seamlessly share timing and BPM information with X1850 PRIME (to synchronize
effect tempos) as well as track and user profile data with other media players.
This feature provides many advantages while performing. For instance, if you are using four
compatible Denon DJ media players, you can use one of them to browse through all tracks on all
devices (USB drives or SD cards) connected to any of those media players. You can then play any of
those tracks immediately without having to move a device from one unit to the other.
To network compatible Denon DJ media players together, use the included networking cables to
connect each of their Link ports to a Link port (1–4) on the rear panel of your X1850 PRIME.
The Network (Media Status) light on each media player will turn on when it is properly connected to
a network.
By default, X1850 PRIME is set to detect and configure each compatible Denon DJ media player
automatically once you connect their Link ports. The Link port on X1850 PRIME will determine which
channels that media player uses. See the scenarios below.
You can also freely assign each media player layer to a specific channel by changing the Engine
Connect setting in the Utility menu on X1850 PRIME. See your media player's User Guide to learn
more about this.
