USER MANUAL - DMP230 MEDIA PLAYER | FM TUNER
Jingle Player
The DMP230 contains a Jingle player with a one-shot mode for teasers and a scheduled mode for
commercial purposes (like playing advertisements in a certain sequence). To make use of the feature,
the user must create a folder named "Jingles" on the solid state memory media. The folder must have
exactly this name (with capital J and lower case following letters) and will not be available for choice
during normal replay.
The jingle files stored in this folder have to be prepared with specific names as well, and have to follow
the structure jx_yy with x from 1...3 and yy from 00 to 99. In this format, x defines the jingle number
(with a maximum of 3 jingles allowed) and yy being the number of minutes of background music the
jingle is followed by in scheduled jingle play mode. As an example, three jingles could be named
j1_01.mp3, j2_04.mp3 and J3_05.mp3. These three jingles will then be available for direct one-shot
play on pressing the jingle buttons (19), with each jingle assigned to the relative button.
A scheduled jingle play mode can be activated by pressing the J1 button for longer than 2 seconds,
allowing the jingles to be inserted into the program in an automatic sequence with a certain duration
of background music in between. The jingle replay would in the above example start immediately with
Jingle 1 followed by 1 minute of background music, then Jingle 2 followed by 4 minutes of background
music, then jingle 3 followed by 5 minutes of background music; after this, the sequence would loop.
If less jingles are stored in the Jingles folder, the loop runs after the last available jingle. As another
example, if only one jingle named j1_02 is stored in the Jingles folder, then this would mean the jingle
would play every 2 minutes in scheduled jingle pay mode.
Operation
A. Connections
For connecting this unit to AC mains, please note:
Check whether the AC mains voltage and frequency is the same as this product is specified for (see
rear panel of product). Whenever the specified voltage or your AC plug does not match the local
conditions, do NOT plug the AC cord into the wall outlet and contact your dealer immediately.
Do not operate this unit without the line cord earth ground connected. To do so may increase the
risk of electric shock and increase line cord conducted emissions.
For making audio signal connections, always remember that good and reliable connections are a
basic requirement for good sound and reliable operation. Bad soldering of cables can result in inter-
mittent audio signals or temporarily lost ground connections, hence always use good cables. If you are
doubtful about making proper connections, please see check the standard pin assignments required
for proper operation in the following section of this manual.
B. Powering up
Following a proper power-up sequence protects your equipment, specifically speakers (and your
ears). Follow the below procedure:
Turn down all output volume controls of any equipment in your audio system.
Switch on your audio sources first (Tuners, CD Players, PC's with soundcards, Tapedecks, etc.)
Switch on the audio mixer
Switch on any audio processor between the mixer and the amplifier(s) [if any].
Switch on the amplifier(s).
Turn up the audio level on your sources if such controls are provided.
Set the audio output of your mixer to a low level.
Set the audio output of any audio processor between the mixer and the amplifier(s) to a medium
level [if any such processors].
Turn up the volume controls of your amplifier(s) slowly.
Make adjustments to all volume settings as needed.
For switching off, follow the inverse sequence – always switch off your amplifier(s) first, then any proc-
essors between mixer and amplifier(s), then the mixer, then the sources.
