CHECKING THE CONTENTS

Check that the carton contains all of the following items.

Tabletop CD player unit

Printed user’s manual

One RCA cable

One power cable

One fader start / relay cable

INSTALLING THE UNIT

Place the unit on a flat, level surface.

Be sure the player is in a well-ventilated area where it will not be exposed

to direct sunlight, high temperatures, or high humidity

Try to place the unit as far as possible from TVs and tuners, as the unit

may cause undesirable interference.

The player will work normally when the unit is within 15 degrees of

the vertical plane. If the unit is tilted excessively, discs may not

insert

or eject properly, or playback may be adversely affected.

The unit’s LCD screen is designed to be clearly visible within the

angles shown in the following figure. Place the unit so that the LCD

screen is within this visual range for optimal clarity.




CONNECTIONS

Make sure that the unit and any other equipment in the signal chain are

turned off prior to making any connections.

Connect the RCA cable to the rear of the unit and to the input on your

mixer.

Connect the power cable to the rear of the unit and to a proper AC outlet.

CAUTION

Be sure to use the supplied cables. Using other types of cables may result

in damage to the unit.

To avoid severe damage to the unit, be sure power is OFF when making

any connections.

UPDATING FIRMWARE

Checking Firmware Version

Turn the unit off.

Hold down the MODE button (under SAMPLE SEQUENCER) while

powering up the unit.

Release MODE to go back to the normal playback mode.

Updating The Firmware
Firmware updates may, as necessary, become available from Stanton’s

website (www.stantondj.com) as downloadable ISO files, which are

needed to create a bootable CD. We recommend using Magic ISO Maker

(www.magiciso.com) PC software to burn the disc.

Once you have burned a bootable disc from the ISO file, insert the CD

into the C.324. The display will read UPDATE, then SUCCESS.

The unit will automatically eject the CD once the update is complete.

Turn the unit off and back on to complete the update process.

EJECT FUNCTION

Press the eject button to eject the disc. The disc will not eject unless the

player is in cue or pause mode. This prevents accidentally ejecting the

disc when in play mode.

CD SLOT IN

Insert your CD in the CD Slot. Make sure that you only hold the CD with 2

fingers on the edge. Avoid touching the inside area of the CD.

Carefully place a CD with the image facing up into the CD slot. The CD is

automatically pulled in. When inserting a CD of 12cm in diameter, use a

conventional adapter.

BURNING CD-Rs CD-RWs

When burning CD-Rs or CD-RWs for the C.324, it is strongly

recommended to set your burner at 8x write speed. You can

change the write speed within your CD burning software.

SELECTING TRACKS
Whether using MP3 or standard audio discs, tracks can be selected in one

of two ways:

Select the desired track by pressing the Track BACK or FORWARD buttons

to move to the previous or next track. When a new track is selected during

playback, playback begins as soon as the track selection is completed.

Press the BROWSE button located to the left of the LCD display. Turn the

encoder to browse the list of tracks on the CD. While the track number

is flashing, push down on the encoder to select the track. If it is an MP3

disc with folders, use the FOLDER encoder to browse folders as desired.

The FOLDER button will light up when in Folder mode.

SET UP

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT POWER OFF UNIT WHILE DISC IS INSERTED

Removing the disc from the drive before powering off will insure

that the laser pickup remains properly calibrated over time.

Leaving a disc in the device while powering off could also cause

the jog wheel sensitivity to shift, as the same "memory" is

shared between laser pickup and jog wheel calibration data.

See "Jog Wheel Sensitivity "on page 11 for information.
