  1. Hey All... Been a while, hope all are fine and dandy... I have an issue with one of my ACME dynamos... i have had a little search on the topic, but canny find any answers (tho i could be blind) The transformer has blown. I have taken it out etc but i can't seem to get hold of a replacement anywhere. Can you help? the original is from 'Sunrise' and model no is SET110LV(35-110W) Anyone able to help??? or suggest an alternative? will try and get a pic up of it (when i can get the bleeding phone camera to work right) Thanks Peeps. Jon
  2. Hey Peeps.... :Thumbup: Please pm me on this one.... If you are free and want to work on the 27th Dec in Faversham (Kent).......... Best prices please... 30th Bday, local pub (low ceiling) 7.30-11.00pm This only provisional at this stage pending prices.... Cheers Jon
  3. Yeah.... Hoping that Gary still wants to speak to me!!!! Have PM'd him... I am sure he will reply when he gets five mins.. Have had the HD2500 since May 07....! and the Ext HD since June 07.... Denon Uk is my next port of call... But am very very concerned about all the tracks on the Ext HD
  4. Guys and Girls... Firstly, a belated thanks for all your posts, phone calls, msn messages etc... They have been most graciously received... However, the reason for the delayed response on here is that i had possibly the worst Saturday of my life this last weekend (in DJ terms..).. Following all the issues i have had, this weekend just topped it...(read below) After all the issues in uploading the firmware update, and speaking to certain inidividuals that have been helpful beyond belief, i went out to purchase another external hard drive, just to back up the one that i have
  5. Ok... Thanks for Marky Mark for some input and non dodgy updated firmware.... However.. next issue has arisen! I have bought another external hard drive as a back up... Guess what.... I can't seem to get it to format in FAT32... Mr Woolworths why did you have to stop selling CD singles... Is this because of vista??? Anyone reccomend software to format my new ehd??? Why can't i just buy something that is already ready to use?? Why do i have to keep faffing about to use this bloody HD2500??? Yes, if i sound shirty it is coz i am..... I already have
  6. hi peeps..... I have tried every which way possible... on memory stick and direct onto the root of the HD2500.. Both in subfolders and not... Completely stuck.... could it be something to do with using vista? Just to add insult to injury.. I scanned the internal drive last night too... It WIPED the drive... I really am not a happy bunny at the mo. Help!!!
  7. Anyone?? There gotta be someone???
  8. Hi guys.. Have finally got round to uploading the updated file (need to) as advertised on here and via the email i got (V1400) However, I can't seem to upload it on to the Denon.. It says that i have uploaded the version 1004..... although the Bin file that i am using is the one from the denon website saying that it is 1400 I have tried doing both by USB and copying the Bin file directly onto the Denon... Any ideas??? Jon Anyone???
  9. Hi ya Peeps... Haven't been on for a while, so thought i would just say a quick hi again and to all those newbies who I haven't said hi to in the last 10 months or soo... life been hectic and changing again... Looks like i will be back to doing more gigs again..... I must be a sucker for punishment!!! Good to see you all. Jon
  10. Hi ya peeps... :djuhi: Haven't been around for a while i know... Many of you know the reasons why, so won't bore you.... :zzz: Things are 'changing' at the mo, and as a result, i am now not restricting myself to one or two gigs a month as i have been over the past 18 months.... Therefore i now have numerous dates available, especially later in the year and chrimbo... Work anywhere in kent (within reason) and even on the fringes..... Weddings (fairly upmarket :mikee: ) and Corporate functions is my main business area, but with the 'changes', i will look at most jobs....
  11. Hard Drive!!!!!!! lol.... went out two weeks ago, got there early, waited in the wind, rain and freezing temps... (was in a marquee too).... Managed to finally start getting gear in when suddenly i just froze...... Although i had brought some cd's with me, the majority of tunes were on my hard drive that i use alongside my HD2500... (Internal hard drive just been cleaned out for housekeeping).... Oh Bugger..... Had to send roadie home to get it.... only at 60mile round trip!!!! I would have been ok if the Master of Ceremonies (who i like and have worked with a lot) wasn't ru
  12. In my humble opinion i think it is a great show.. It never will live up to Life on Mars, but that is because deep down it is a different concept.... Yeah, i know similar story lines, same characters and a very hot lady trying to 'get back to 2008' or whatever it is... But remember, we know know 95% of the cast from Life on Mars and "Joe Bugner in a skirt" (my fav quote so far) actually knows the characters through listening to Sam whilst in his coma (god i sound like a geek here)... The fact that Miss Bugner knows she has to go along with it whilst at the same time knowing tha
  13. Hey Peeps... wow, two posts in one day, i must be ill...... I have the hump....... i am a dj (supposedly) so why do i have to put up with such :cense: sound in my van when driving around???? i finally changed the head unit last week, but it is the sound really that is poooo.... anyone else drive a van such as a transit or hi-ace where there are just a couple of pokey speakers in the trim of the door or above the foot wells??? Because they are poo i really only just get a high trebbley sound rather than a warm bass and mid driven sound... Partly the van is to blame as beca
  14. Firstly..... Great SEDA Meeting last night..... Gary you looked great and so helpful as usual... Bleeding Root beet tho... Was 'having wind' all the way home.......!!! :hurt: Right, the main topic... Ages and Ages ago i spoke to Mr Mole and Mr Ansell about mixing.. They set up a couple of 'breif' (Crash doesn't describe it well enough) Mixing nigts at Seda meetings, but the one thing that really rung in my ears was Brian saying that doing a DJ Mixing course really was the catalyst for his success up till now... Well everytime i now see Brian i hear those words in my head, and

    Happy New Year Peeps..... :Thumbup: Just a quickie to shed some more light (bad joke i know) on my mirror ball spotlight... We are finding it just is not strong enough in some venues (too much ambient light or mirrorball too far away). I believe i have a simple 30w Par 36 light (think it came in a set)..... To get more light and specific light direction i am thinking along the following lines... please leave your advice... 1) Can i get stronger wattage Par 36 bulb (ie bigger than 30w) and will they be ok in the unit? 2) Get a Par 16 long nose can with a GU 50w bulb or
  16. Hi Peeps.... :djuhi: Yep, another feather to my bow is playing in a band.... (Soft Rock Covers) Anyway.. we are due to pick a few more songs to learn and I am having trouble finding tabs for one of the artists that I want to do... Does anyone have tabs for (especially bass) Peter Frampton - Show me the Way, Plain Shame or Doobie Wah.....? Can't seem to find any of em..... :hurt: Aside from that.... Anyone else play in a band? Jon AKA Splosh
  17. Always....... But I think that is my nature... Surely it is good for you to feel nervous, gives you that sense that you need to do your best each and every time....! Jon
  18. I understand what some of you are saying here... I certainly don't use that term when I am out.. Just hear amoungst fellows..... I also just blend in, it was just the fact that my colleague mentioned it, and I hadn't thought of it before... I am gonna haev a look in weeks to come!!! lol, might find something interesting! Possibly even coming out of a slowie into a more beaty rhythmical tune... May be interesting!!! Jon
  19. Strange topic to many I am sure.... However, whilst sitting here at my dest this morning working hard (ahem) one of my colleagues was chatting to me about the disco and about music in general.. She asked me about mixing etc and then said..... Do you mix slow songs too? I had a quick think and realised that no I don't, nor have I ever done so.... Anyone mix their erection section? :love: Can it be done easy enough? Splosh
  20. Jeff, I agree.... That is what the main aim is. I need to get over my niggling troubles with files that don't like the HD2500 also..... Internal for most of the gig as you say and then the External for those "unusual" requests. Jon
  21. Right........... As I am sure you are all eagerly awaiting my progress............. I shall deliver an up-to-date report.... Since my last post, i haven't got very far to be honest in terms of practicality. if anything more issues have arisen... However, The Denon and DJ Knowledge King "Gary" came (sort of) to my rescue last sunday at the SEDA Meeting.... (Another fantastic way to gain knowledge and network with other like minded DJ's - If you haven't been yet, then go!!!) Anyway.... I gave Gary a few scenarios to which he has been patiently helping with. One of t
  22. Afternoon peeps.... Just had an interesting / irratating conversation with someone with regards to a Power Supply. When i was a young Roadie..... :joe: The guys i Went out with always told me NEVER to run lights and sound off the same power socket. I was always instructed to use two different sockets. I was often told that running both lights and sound together can cause a humm on the gear (which I have experienced) and that because the lights go on and off they are causing the current to go up and down which can harm an amplifier....... Anyway..... I have now been aroun
  23. Am gonna give it a go now Ed..... If I can't get it to work, I am gonna try cleaning up the Puter..... I have External Hard Drive on order, so hopefully will free up a lot of space...... Right........... Lets shut down and see what happens......... Splosh You want the good news or bad news???? Good news, is that machine restarted and hey presto, managed to find the Denon.... Started dragging and dropping files again - Thanks Ed.. Now the bad..... Half way through copying a couple of Boney M Tracks, I get a screen come up saying invalid pa
  24. Well........... My fun has lasted all of a couple of hours........... Got it working yesterday thanks to Ed Bray, and now back to square one again... :wall: My computer is once again not recognising the Denon..... Ed managed to talk and walk me through it yesterday so that the pc would recognise it, and now it has gone back to where I started............. Excuse me whilst i wipe the tears from my eyes............. I am sure once it is recognising it will work again, but I can't belive i have now spent about 18 hours trying to get this thing to work for me,
  25. A massive shout out to Ed..... This is what the Forum is about... Helping each other..... Ed very kindly gave me a buzz and has helped me through some issues that I was encountering..... Marc, Yeah, I did have some issues with the PC..... It wasn't recognising the Denon... and without Ed, I would not have managed to sort that.... Thanks soooo much to all the offers of help........ Your membership on the Forum is fully justifiable now.... I only hope that one day I will be able to return the favour...... Ed, I owe you a drink next time i am down your way........ I
