2.8 SD Card and Socket

Your Audio content, CONFIG.TXT File, and any firmware updates are loaded onto a

micro SD FLASH Card, and then inserted into the SD Card Socket. The connector used

on the Dream Players is unique in that the card is loaded from the top and not from the

front like standard connectors. One major feature of this style is that it ensures that the

card does not accidently fall out when the device is mounted.

To load the card into the connector, simply insert the card into the socket from the top

and while pushing down with your finger, pull towards yourself, you will feel when it is

secure. If the card is not properly fitted into the socket, it will actually pop back up, the

only the time the card remain down is when it is correctly inserted into the connector.

If you do not have access to a computer or do not have the time to change the

CONFIG.TXT file then you may set the characteristics of the Dream Player by setting the

mode switches. Whatever you set on these switches will override anything on the

CONFIG.TXT File. To use the settings on the CONFIG.TXT file then leave all of the

switches in the off position.

Any suitable sound editor can be used to create WAV files. The Dream Player will play

Stereo, 16-bit samples, at a 44.1KHz sample rate. This is the same format used for CD

Players and is quite standard.

Note: The Dream Player can NOT play MP3 files or other non-wav files.

Please visit the PRICOM Design web site (www.pricom.com), for some ideas and tips on

creating your own WAV Files.

We recommend numbering your files once you load them onto the SD Card. The Dream

Player will understand the numbers „1‟, „2‟, „3‟, or „4‟ when placed in front of the file

name. These numbers indicate to the Dream Player what „track‟ they are. If you do not

number the files, then the oldest file written to the card will be considered track 1.

You can name your files anything you want. For your convenience, you can name the

files something sensible like "Mountain Day.wav" on your computer, and then rename

the file once it is on the SD Card. A good file name is something like "1-Mountain

Day.wav" which would be treated as Track-1.

During normal operation the Dream Player will play track 1 by default when the on-board

button is pressed or is triggered from an outside source via the trigger input.
