Introduction
Thank you for choosing to upgrade your d.2 DJ Mixer with
this FireWire card. We think you will just love it to pieces.
The FireWire card lets you play music from your computer
into the d.2. It provides a return for two stereo signals, which
can be selected as the program source for PGM 1 and PGM 2.
The card also provides a stereo main output from the d.2 to
your computer, independent of the d.2's main level control.
This allows you to record live, directly to your laptop.
There are two FireWire connections, allowing you to con-
nect other FireWire devices in your system.
The CD-ROM included with your FireWire card contains
software to install the necessary PC driver. (No drivers are
required for the Mac.) It also contains an unrestricted copy
of Tracktion 2, our easy-to-use multitrack recording and
sequencing software for the PC and Mac. Please refer to the
installation instructions on the CD-ROM to install Tracktion 2
on your computer.

Warning: Loving your FireWire card to pieces will
void your warranty, please see page 4.
