Re: Uploading text into Master memory

Martin,

I'm not familiar with the 250. My 260 will either display REMOTE ON (when either the 260 or 90ES are playing) or the disc and track number (when being commanded by CDJ to load a new disc). Not sure about the REMOTE OFF message.

Are you saying that the text for a disk that is in your slave (250) is being loaded into memory bank one of the master (270)? If that is the case, I have a possible explanation. If you have the discs from the slave player stored in the CDJ database under player 1 (P1) and the discs from the master stored in the CDJ database under player 2 (P2), the text upload will (I think) force the data for the slave player into bank 1 memory of the master.

I ran into a similar problem in my setup. I have one 90ES and two 260's. I added my players one at a time, starting with the 90ES. I therefore had all the data for the 90ES stored under player 1 (P1) in the CDJ database. I added my second player (260) about the time that Colby added the text upload feature (or got it working) to CDJ. At the time, I was satisfied that the text upload feature was working OK. When I added a third player (260) I had trouble figuring out how to connect the third player (i.e., what control code to use) and maintain the master/slave relationship between the first two players.

When you have more than one player hooked up, you have to set the command codes on the players and connect the A1 ports on the players to the Slinke ports in such a way that CDJ will recognize the players in the same order that their respective discs were originally stored in CDJ.

My first attempt at hooking up the third player was setting the command code to CD1, connecting the slink in series with the other two players and into Slinke port 0. This didn't work because CDJ assigned my third player as player 1. Next, connected the third player into Slink port 1 (left the master/slave connected to Slinke port 0). With this setup, as I recall, I could set the command mode to CD1, CD2 or CD3, and CDJ recognized/assigned the player numbers in the desired order. However, I eventually gave up on the master/slave setup, mainly because of disc skipping in playlist, or having all three players locked up in pause mode. I finally settled on putting each player on a seperate Slinke port, and setting the command code on each player to CD1 (probably doesn't matter). I always have CDJ running, so I don't miss the master/slave features, nor do I use the TV output of the 90ES very often. This setup seems to minimize the disc skipping (and all three players locked in pause) to virtually nil.

Hope this helps.
