Sorry if this was asked where can I find directions as to how to install this firmware on to the prime 4? Thanks!
Not sure if this is where we should be posting the feedback on the new Beta version update. But here is a bug Iâve noticed. Without using the Tidal streaming network, wifi off, searching for tracks is causing the screen to freeze momentarily while typing in letters in the search bar. Sometimes it freezes for up to 30 seconds after typing in a letter. Music still plays uninterrupted but screen freezing is a problem. I am using an internal Samsung 2 TB SSD drive.
Hi James,
Bugs can be reported here: https://community.enginedj.com/c/prime-4-beta-public/defects-issues
However, the bug is already confirmed, so good find! https://community.enginedj.com/t/confirmed-screen-freeze-when-searching-usb-after-1st-letter
It is scattered around a bitâŚ
For this update only one method is available.
- Download the updater.
- Connect the blue USB3 cable to your computer.
- Reboot the Prime4 in firmware update mode (go to Utility - at the bottom of the list, press on the word ârebootâ).
- Start the updater and follow onscreen instructions.
I wouldnât use Windows7 anymore for newer applications and update tools.
However, for Windows10 youâll see similar driver issue, because there is no audio driver yet.
I had a quick look, I downloaded and got started with the upgrade and Tidal. It looks great and definitely the way forward, BUT, sadly i had to remove it as i need my deck to work at live gigs every week so canât afford the risk of being a tester, shame.
Canât wait until the Beta testing is done and a safe release is available. However, i am not going to subscribe to Tidal as i already pay Spotify for me, the wife and kids, they would lynch me if i cancelled that and Iâm not paying for 2. So unless a deal can be done to allow Spotify on the Prime, i wonât get the benefit.
PS. donât forget a clock somewhereâŚ
? - how you get from this post to a clock ?!
but if you are on the way: notepad for important things, also needs some love

I I downloaded and installed. Frozen on beta logo. Forced update mode tried again. Same. So forced update. Downgraded to 1.3.2. Works fine. Tried upgrading again same frozen logo. Downgraded to 1.3 2 so I guess no beta test for me.
Hi @DJVERACIOUSK, sorry to hear you are having difficulty installing the beta. Do you have any media sources connected when upgrading? If so, I would try removing them and installing the beta again.
Will there be an identical (3 months free) offer for SC5000 owners too, when the beta firmware for that is ready too ?
In the text it says:
To show our appreciation, and to assist with beta testing, weâre giving all Denon DJ SC5000, SC5000M, & PRIME 4 owners 3 free months of TIDAL HiFi access !
So I think so
Iâll just wait activating an account until we get the Tidal access in 2 or 4 weeks (hopefully) JWill wrote they think the Beta would take between 2 and 4 weeks to sort out, depending on the amount of feedback.
Itâs one period for one Tidal account even if you own 4 SCâs. If you start the 3 months now while the firmware is not yet ready, then time ticks away of course.
Thatâs the problem - if the 5000 firmware isnât ready for 2 months , then 5000 owners get about 2 weeks left of the Tidal trial
Whats the point of starting the trial for your SC5000 BEFORE its available for the units? Youâll have 3 months from the day its activated.
But maybe it also need a code, so you cant activate it before its ready on the units.
The device needs to link to Tidal which it does not without firmware.
If you have both Prime4 and SCâs (like me), you need to make a choice to wait or miss time on the SC.
In a few days my 30 day free start period ends and I need to make a choice. I think I will pay until the SC firmware is here to start the 3 months redeem.
DahâŚ
The internal ssd is the only media source connected during install. Do I have to disconnect the internal to get this to work?
Not normally no, I was suggesting as a troubleshooting step to see if it helped.
