alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other), it will fit into the
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.

• If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding type plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply

FEATURES

BEFORE OPERATING (FEATURES)

Designed for professional use by DJs, the CDJ-200 compact
disc player provides all the functions and performance re­quired in disco clubs while offering performance, sound qua­lity and functionality superior to analog players.

DIGITAL JOG BREAK

Equipped with Digital Jog Break for original sound effects.

Individual remix assist functions [JET], [ZIP] and [WAH] have
been provided individually in three buttons. By choosing a
function and operating the jog dial in time with the music, a
new remix world can be experienced.

JOG DIAL

A large 100 mm diameter jog dial enables corrections to un­even beats with the feeling of an analog turntable.

■ PITCH BEND

This function changes the music tempo depending on the di­rection and speed the jog dial is rotated.

■ FRAME SEARCH

Moves the pause position in frame units (1/75 sec) when the
jog dial is rotated in the pause mode.

■ SUPER-FAST SEARCH

By turning the jog dial while holding down the manual search
button or the track search button, disc search can be per­formed faster than normal search or track search functions.

TEMPO CONTROL

100 mm long high-precision slider allowing free speed adjust­ment.

With a digital display calibrated in 0.02 % units (within a ±6 %
range), tempo adjustments can be made more easily and ac­curately.

■ TEMPO CONTROL RANGE

The maximum variable range can be set to three variable
ranges; ±6 %, ±10 %, ±16 %, to provide easier operation envi­ronment.

■ MASTER TEMPO

Maintains the same pitch of sound while changing the music
tempo.

RELOOP

Allows returning to the set loop position any number of times.
Press the RELOOP/EXIT button after canceling loop play to
return to the loop start position. By using the loop ON and OFF
combined with the rhythm of the track, new sound effects can
be created.

PLAYING ADDRESS

The bar graph provides a visual reference of the track play­back progress that enables the user to visualize the current
playback position, in the same way as is done with an analog
record by checking the position of the needle. The current po­sition can be confirmed by the length of the graph, and in ad­dition, the graph flashes to notify the ending of the track.

SLOT IN

The disc can be inserted without the opening of trays and
doors, making possible quick track selection.

FADER START

By connecting this unit to DJ mixer DJM-500, DJM-600, DJM­300, DJM-3000, DJM-909, or DJM-707, QUICK START and
BACK CUE functions can be performed by using the mixer’s
fader function.

RELAY PLAY

Two CDJ-200 units can be connected in tandem to perform
automatic relay play.
When track playback stops on one of the players, the standby
mode of the other player is released and playback begins au­tomatically.

OIL DAMPER FLOAT

OIL DAMPER FLOAT construction helps resist shakes and im­pacts.
This unit features an OIL DAMPER FLOAT design, making it
harder for distortions and sound breakup to occur due to im­pacts from operation and vibrations from the floor.

CUE

■ BACK CUE

After storing cue points in memory, press the CUE button
while playing a track to return and start from the stored cue
point.

■ AUTO CUE

Skips the non-recorded part at the top of a track and automati­cally enters stand-by mode at the track’s starting point, allow­ing playback to begin instantly when the PLAY/PAUSE button
(6) is pressed.

■ CUE POINT SAMPLER

Playback can be started at one touch from a stored cue point,
convenient for confirming start points and as sampler.

REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOP

This function simplifies the setting and canceling of loops.
The loop can be set at the very instant the track is being
played. By setting a loop just before the end of the track, the
track can be made so that it doesn’t stop. In addition, an
ADJUST mode has been added to enable one-touch adjust­ments to the loop-out point, thereby facilitating the loop op­eration.

MULTI READ

Supports playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs. (Some discs
may not replay properly, however, due to certain special
characteristics of some discs and recorders, as well as due to
dirty or damaged discs.)

CD TEXT

Displays CD TEXT on CD TEXT-supported discs.

BEFORE OPERATING (CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING)

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Location

Install the player in a well-ventilated location where it will not be
exposed to high temperatures or humidity.

Do not install the player in a location which is exposed to direct sun­light, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect
the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the player in a
damp or dusty environment may aiso result in a malfunction and can
be hazardous. Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the player
may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.

Installation Guidelines

÷ Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on

heat-generating sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc.
will affect product performance. Avoid placing the player on heat­generating sources.

÷

Install this compact disc player as far as possible away from tuners
and TV sets. A compact disc player installed in close proximity to
such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.

÷ Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is used. In such

cases, make use of an outdoor antenna or turn off power to the
compact disc player.

÷ When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g., near a

speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the unit away from the
speaker or reduce the listening vol­ume.

÷ Place this unit on a level surface

and a stable platform.

÷ Be sure the player, including its au-

dio and power supply cords, does
not touch vibrating materials. Any
cause of vibration other than the in­sulators may cause the disc to skip.
Take special care when using the
player while it is installed in a carry­ing case.

¶ Please be sure to leave

a space to allow for
heat radiation.

Do not place on or
against vibrating
materials!

Cleaning the Player

To clean the PLAYER wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry cloth. For
stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral
detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well, and
wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use
volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage the
unit.

CD Lens Cleaner

The player’s pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use. If for
some reason, the lens becomes soiled and malfunctions, contact
your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens cleaners for
CD players are commercially available, but special care should be
exercised in their use as some may cause damage to the lens.

Storing Discs

÷ Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for conventional

analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp. Al­ways store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations with
high heat, humidity, or extremely low temperatures. Avoid leav­ing discs in cars; the interior of a car in direct sunlight can become
extremely hot.

÷ Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc

labels.

Condensation

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold
surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, conden­sation may form inside the unit and impair its performance. In such
cases, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room
temperature gradually.

Cleaning and Handling Compact Discs

÷ The presence of fingerprints or smudges on the surface of the disc

will not directly affect the recorded signals, but, depending on the
degree of contamination, the brightness of the light reflected from
the signal surfaces may be reduced causing degradation of sound
quality. Always keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with
a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer edge.

÷ If a disc becomes very dirty, dampen a soft cloth with water, (be

sure to wring it out well) and wipe the away dirt gently. Remove
any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.

÷ Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs.

Never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents
or damage to the disc surface may result.

÷ With this player, use only those discs

which display the mark shown right
(Optical audio digital discs).

÷ SACD hybrid discs cannot be played.

÷ When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by

the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.

÷ Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the disc surface. Also, do

not scratch or damage the label.

÷ Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged,

cracked or warped discs.

Do not play a CD with a special shape

Do not play a CD having other shape than a circular disc, such as
heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may occur.
