Although PRIME hardware can play tracks that have not been analyzed yet, pre-analyzing them allows its features to
work most effectively. You can analyze tracks in one of two ways:
• On PRIME hardware, load the track: When you load a track to play, the PRIME hardware will automatically
analyze it (if it has not already been analyzed). This may take a moment to complete, depending on the
length of the track. You can start playing the track from the beginning immediately, though you will need to
wait a moment for the analysis to finish.
• Use Engine DJ software: The included Engine DJ software can pre-analyze your music library to use with
your PRIME hardware. You can also use it to organize your library by creating playlists. It also manages your
PRIME hardware preferences (see Operation to learn more about this).
Visit enginedj.com/downloads to download the Engine DJ software.
To eject a USB drive or SD card:
1. Make sure none of its tracks are being played on any connected PRIME media players. Ejecting a device unloads
its tracks from all networked PRIME media players.
2. Press Eject, or open the Source menu. A list of connected devices will appear in the main display.
3. Tap the eject icon for the device you would like to eject. If a track on the device is currently playing, you will be
asked if you want to continue ejecting, which will stop the track and clear the deck. Tap Cancel to cancel
ejecting the device, or tap Eject Anyway to eject it.
To eject additional devices, repeat Step 3.
To return to the previous screen, press Eject again, or tap the X in the upper-right corner.
