About connected devices
2. USB Keyboard
q Qwerty, Qwertz, Azerty type keyboard layouts are
supported.
w Do not connect multiple units. Doing so will prevent
proper operation.
e The DN-HS5500 can be operated from the keyboard.
For the usable keys and their functions, refer to the
table right.
1
↓
1. USB Hub
q Up to 4 mass storage devices and 1 keyboard can be
connected.
w It is not possible to connect multiple USB hubs.
e Be sure to use hi-speed compatible devices to ensure
transfer performance.
(Products marked with the hi-speed USB logo
recommended)
r Bus power type USB hubs have a low power supply
capacity, so the operation of the USB device
connected to such hubs may be unstable. When
using USB HDDs which require strong power or
when using multiple USB devices, be sure to use a
self-powered type USB hub.
t When using a self-powered type USB hub, be sure to
supply power to it when using it.
y If a USB device connected to the USB hub is not
recognized by the DN-HS5500, try disconnecting then
reconnecting the device. If there are multiple devices
connected to the hub, in some cases they will be
recognized if the order in which they are connected is
changed. It is best to connect one device at a time to
check if it is recognized, then add more devices,
checking each time.
u Turn the power of the DN-HS5500 off when
connecting the USB hub to it.

3. All types of USB devices
q Operation of the USB device may be unstable when
using the bus power only.
w Depending on the USB devices’ specifications, some
devices may not be identified, for example when
using multiple devices.
e If the USB device is not recognized, it might be
recognized if it is disconnected then reconnected.
r Devices on which power is supplied from the device
to the host equipment side in a way not conforming
to USB standards could damage the host equipment.
Do not use such devices.
t Do not disconnect a USB device when it is selected
to be operated by the DN-HS5500 or when the
database is being created. Disconnecting while the
device is being accessed could damage files, etc.
y For large capacity USB devices and USB devices that
are not specifically designed for data storage (MP3
players, etc.), it may take some time for the device to
be recognized after it is connected to the DNHS5500.
u Use devices in agreement with or conforming to
compliance tests.

5. iPod®
q Only Windows format iPods® can be used.
Macintosh format iPods® cannot be used.
w MP3/WAV files transferred from iTunes® to an iPod®
are read-only files, so the MEMO function cannot be
used with them.
e In iTunes®, place a check mark at “Manually manage
music” in “Summary” – “Options”.
r MP3/WAV files transferred from iTunes® to an iPod®
are managed with iPod’s® specific file names, so it is
not possible to search using the original file names.
We recommend searching using ID3 tags (artist,
album, title, genre, year, BPM, etc.).
✽ iPod® and iTunes® are trademarks or registered
trademarks of Apple Computer, Inc.
6. Others
q With the DN-HS5500, the software can be updated
using a USB device, but note that some time may be
required for the device to be recognized.
w Do not use cables other than those conforming to
USB standards. Using modified USB cables could
damage the DN-HS5500.
e If there is a large number of files stored in folders on
the device, searching may take some time and
operation may be unstable. Keep the number of files
per folder to under 1000.

(2) MEMO CALL [Memo Call]
• When a file for which a memo has been stored is called out, the MEMO indicator flashes for about 5 seconds
or less.
• To call out the Memo data, select the file that you made a MEMO. Then the MEMO indicator lights up.
• Push the MEMO button to enable Memo call function.
• When the PARAMETERS knob is pushed in the Memo call mode, all the data stored in the memory is loaded.
DN-HS5500 goes to standby mode at the called Cue point.
• When the playing pitch is loaded from the Memo with PITCH indicator flashes, playing Pitch is locked until Pitch
Slider comes same Pitch. While playing Pitch is locked, PITCH indicator keeps flashing.
17 MEMO (Custom Setting Memory)
The setting information can be stored in the file. The stored information can be called out of the memory at later time,
making it easy to prepare for your mixing.
1. About MEMO
For the memo function, the data that can be stored in the memo differs according to the playback mode.
q For the file playback mode
• The memo data is stored in the MP3/WAV file itself, so once memo data is stored in the file, it can be called
out and used when playing the file on a different DN-HS5500.
• The MEMO mode is not set in the following cases:
a) When the MEMO operation is being executed on the other deck.
b) When the database is being loaded.
c) When the same file is selected on both decks.
If the memo operation is possible for the deck on the side for which memo operation is set, the memo operation
can be executed even when the deck on the other side is playing.
If the same track is selected for the deck on the other side, however, or if you attempt to switch to the same track,
the memo operation cannot be executed.
Furthermore, if while the memo operation is being executed you attempt to search and play the track for which
the memo operation is being performed on the other deck, searching is canceled and playback is stopped.
• The data stored in the memory is as follows:
a) Cue point
b) A1 and B1 points, A2 and B2 points
c) Playing pitch, pitch on/off, Key Adjust on/off setting
d) BPM data (Cue, A1 and A2 points)
The point data is limited to data within the same file.
• The MEMO indicator on the display lights up when a file for which data is storing within a file is selected.
NOTE:
MEMO CALL of MP3 files may not be completed according to the file condition.
(3) MEMO CLEAR [Memo Clr]
• To clear one Memo data, select the file that you stored a MEMO. Then the MEMO indicator lights up.
• Push the MEMO button to enable Memo clear function.
• Turn the PARAMETERS knob until MEMO CLEAR is displayed.
• When the PARAMETERS knob is pushed in MEMO CLEAR mode, the Memo data is cleared and the MEMO
indicator on the display turns off.
w For the playlist playback mode
• The memo data is stored in the playlist file itself, so when transporting playlist files in which the memo data
has been stored and playing them on a different DN-HS5500, that data can be called out and used.
• Memo data can be stored a total of times equal to the number of files registered in the playlist. For example, if
74 files are registered in a playlist, 74 bits of memo data can be stored in that playlist.
• The data stored in the memory is as follows:
a) Cue point
b) A1 and B1 points, A2 and B2 points
c) Playing pitch, pitch on/off, Key Adjust on/off setting
d) BPM data (Cue, A1 and A2 points)
The A1, A2, B1 and B2 points may be on different files, as long as they are within the playlist. The memo data
can be used in the same way as with conventional CDs.
• The MEMO indicator on the display lights up when a file for which data is storing within a file is selected.
2. MEMO MODE SELECT
q Push the MEMO button during Cue mode to enter MEMO mode.
w Turn the PARAMETERS knob to select the various MEMO modes from as follows.
Memo Set (default), Memo Call, Memo Clr
Depending on conditions, some modes cannot be selected.
e Push the MEMO button again to exit MEMO mode.
(1) Storing data in the memory [Memo Set]
• After making the settings to be storing within a file, then push CUE button.
• When the MEMO indicator in the display is off during Cue mode, push MEMO button to enable Memo set
function.
• If the MEMO indicator lights up, it is necessary to clear existing Memo before storing a new Memo.
• At last push PARAMETERS knob to save. You can see “Complete!” message and the MEMO indicator lights
up.
• When the Memo Set function cannot be used, check the remaining space on the device. It may not be possible
to store data in the memory if there is too little space left.
