Setting up

Welcome to Jay-D's usage guide!

Hopefully, you had fun assembling your own DJ mix table. Are you ready to grow a bit more? We are going to show you how to use Jay-D in this usage guide! 


Insert the other side of the USB cable into the USB port on the board.

For best performance, use a power adapter with an output of minimally 2A!

 

Find a power adapter with an output of at least 2A (ampere). This means that almost any adapter that you use to charge your smartphone should work just fine.

Jay-D's volume and all the other features will work best with an adapter of at least 2A. If you plug it into your laptop, or another power source, there is a possibility that the features won't work perfectly because of the lack of power the device receives.

Connect it to the power source

The USB-C cable is used for charging and programming your device. Insert the other end of the sable into the power adapter!

After that, connect the power adapter into a power outlet to turn on your Jay-D.

  • Playback - Play songs that are on the SD card, or your own that you recorded while remixing
  • DJ - Remix songs, add different effects, and record your masterpieces!
  • Settings - Adjust the volume, brightness and perform an input test if needed
