Creating Libraries; Backing Up User Data - Pioneer MEP-7000 Bedienungsanleitung

USING THE UTILITY

CREATING LIBRARIES

This unit supports the creation of libraries for large-capacity USB
storage devices, thus allowing categorizing numerous tracks by
album name, artist name, and genre, and facilitating smooth track
selection.
Library creation, updating, and deletion are performed with the
UTILITY screen.
MEMO
• Library creation and updating requires increasing amounts of
time in correspondence to the number of files. (As a general
estimate, creation of a library for 5000 files may take about 30
minutes. Additional time may be required when creating
libraries for a folder containing a large number of sub-folders
and files.)
• By using a computer, you can create libraries even faster.
Library creation programs can be downloaded from the
following website: http://www.prodjnet.com/support/
1 Connect the USB storage device on which you wish to create
a library.
2 On the UTILITY screen, select [BROWSE], then select
[LIBRARY (USB1)] or [LIBRARY (USB2)] in accordance with the
device on which you wish to create the library; finally, press
either the down () button or rotary selector dial.
MEMO
• Library creation/updating/deletion cannot be performed when
a track is currently playing.
3 Rotate the rotary selector dial and select the desired
operation [CREATE/UPDATE/DELETE/CANCEL], then press
the rotary selector dial.

MEMO
• To interrupt the management operation midway, hold the
UTILITY button depressed for one second or more.
• A library can be created with up to 150 000 tracks.
• Libraries are created on the USB storage device in folders
named PIONEER (or .PIONEER in the case of HFS+).
• When updating a library, information on deleted or added
tracks is updated. Revised (changed) track information is not
updated. To update (change) track information, use of a library
creation program is required.
