How do I pre-cue with external audio devices?

Using HDMI via Apple Digital AV adapter

Devices Setup:

  • Main Output: Speakers connected to the iPad/iPhone via HDMI cable and Apple Digital AV adapter (e.g. digital TV with speakers, digital audio receiver)
  • Pre-cueing: Headphones connected to the iPad's (or iPhone's) headphone jack

Instructions:

  1. Plug your headphones into your iPad/iPhone
  2. Connect one side of the HDMI cable to the HDMI input of your speaker system and the other side to the Apple Digital AV adapter
  3. Plug the AV adapter into your iPad/iPhone's dock connector
  4. Raise the system volume to the maximum by using the volume buttons on your iPad/iPhone
  5. Launch djay
  6. A window like the one below should appear in djay. Tap "Done" and you're good to go! This setup window can also be accessed by tapping the gear icon and selecting "Audio Device Setup".

Note: Technically, you could also choose to switch the outputs and use the headphones as main output and the speakers for pre-cueing.

Pre-cueing is not supported in combination with AirPlay or Bluetooth devices.
