Page 5: Speech Files
The DMP-300 Digital Media Player is a self-contained unit which stores and replays pre- recorded audio tracks. The audio tracks are encoded in “Motion Picture Expert Group (MPEG) Level 3” format, commonly referred to as “MP3”. Audio files are stored in a removable CompactFlash™... - Page 6 When a speech file is selected, it will be played once in each language currently enabled on the DMP-300. Language selections may be changed from the front panel at any time by selecting CHOOSE LANGUAGES (this option is not available unless the card contains speech tracks in more than one language.) The selected languages are retained when the...
- Page 7 CardPrep, the language selection will be whatever was in effect when the unit was last turned off. The DMP-300 uses only a single rotary knob with a push-button action for all front panel functions. Rotate the knob fully CCW until “CHOOSE LANGUAGES” is displayed.
- Page 8 The display indicates that playback is in progress. This display can either be elapsed playback time, or can be cycling user prompts. Please see the DMP-300 Installation Manual for more information. When playback is complete, the audio stops and the display points to the NEXT speech file, as if the knob had been turned CW once.
- Page 9 The DMP-300 can receive position data from a variety of panel-mount GPS receivers via an RS-232 or RS-422 serial data link. If a GPS is connected to the DMP-300, then either speech or music may be triggered automatically when the aircraft is within a specified distance of a certain latitude and longitude (lat/lon).
- Page 10 “Jog Mode” causes the Trigger 6 and Trigger 7 inputs to be used instead to step forward or back through the DMP-300 menus and lists. When Jog Mode is enabled in CardPrep, it is active whenever the resulting memory card is used. Inserting a card which does not have Jog Mode enabled will cause Triggers 6 and 7 to function as normal remote trigger inputs.
- Page 11 When Jog Mode is enabled on a card, Triggers 1 and 2 are also redefined to control the volume on the DMP-300. Each activation of Trigger 1 simulates a push-and-turn counterclockwise, i.e. a decrement of volume. In a similar way, each activation of Trigger 2 simulates an increment of volume.

Changing System Prompts ♦ Most of the text displayed by the DMP-300 in normal operation is actually stored on the memory card and can be changed via CardPrep. This was intended to allow for translation of the system prompts into languages other than English. - Page 20 As with all the other configuration settings in this section, any changes made here will only apply to this card. Inserting a different card will cause the unit to reload the configuration and clear the changes. DMP-300 USERS GUIDE PAGE 20 OF 24 P/N DMP020 V1.8...

Page 23: Notes On Interrupting And Restoring Audio Tracks
If a new audio track is selected (either manually or via any trigger) while another track is playing, the DMP-300 can resume playing the interrupted track after the new one finishes. This will only occur, however, for the most recently interrupted track. Any previously interrupted tracks will not resume, and must be manually restarted if desired. - Page 24 Mix will then choose a random music track, which will start at its beginning. The final situation is that after all triggered audio tracks are completed; the DMP-300 will always be playing some kind of music. In many applications, this is exactly the desired effect.
