INSTALLING THE Q-DBASE SOFTWARE
The DMC2000 works perfectly without the Q-DBASE database files but if you want to search your tracks
easily and lightning fast than you should install the Q-DBASE software on your computer! Please note that
the program currently only works under Windows (XP, Vista, Win7). To be sure that you always have the
latest version, you can download the software from our website (check
DMC2000 product page). Installing the program is very easy: just double-click the file and follow the
instructions on your screen.
USING THE Q-DBASE SOFTWARE
Each time you add or remove tracks from your USB hard disk,
you must run the Q-DBASE software again to update the database files!
After the installation you will see a new program directory called
"SYNQ". In this directory you will find 2 files:
- Uninstall (to uninstall the software)
- Q-DBASE (to start the software)
 Connect your USB-hard drive to your PC and check which drive
letter was assigned to it.
 Click on the Q-DBASE icon to start the software: the main screen is
shown.
 In the upper left corner choose your USB-drive.
 Press the BUILD-button on the right side.
 The software starts scanning the USB-drive for compatible
audio files and extracts the ID3-tags to build the Q-DBASE
files, needed to speed up the search function on player. Once
the progression bar on the bottom is full, the database building
process is finished and a short summary is shown.
 The program wrote the Q-DBASE files (file extensions: .DBH + .dat
+ .DBX) to the USB-drive so now you can remove it from your PC
and connect it to the DMC2000.
To achieve the best results, please always use the latest version of
the database software. You can find the software version at the
bottom left of the "About" screen.
! IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR VISTA USERS !
Many Vista users will not be able to run the Q-DBASE software. This
problem is caused by the UAC (User Account Control) limitation, a
security option limiting the user privileges in Vista. To overcome this
problem, right-click the Q-DBASE program icon and choose "Run as
administrator" in the popup menu. Windows will respond with the
window shown on the right: just click "Allow".
