MULTI MEDIA, MULTI FORMAT
The CDJ-2000 can play not only discs (CDs and DVDs), but also music
files recorded on SD memory cards and USB devices (flash memory
drives and hard disks). Supported music file formats include not only
music CD (CD-DA) and MP3 but also AAC, WAV and AIFF.
The included rekordbox (Mac/Windows) music management software
can be used to prepare playlists, cues, loops, hot cues and beat grids
required for DJ play unhurriedly at home. This allows you to devote all
your attention to your DJ performance at the disco/nightclub on the day
of the performance, with total assurance. From acquiring music files to
DJ performances, all steps in the cycle of the DJ’s work can be accomplished smoothly.
rekordbox (Mac/Windows)
rekordbox is a software program allowing users who have purchased
a Pioneer DJ player supporting rekordbox to manage music files to be
used for DJ performances.
The included rekordbox music management software can be used
for the management (analysis, settings, creation, history storage) of
music files on computers. Using music files managed with rekordbox in
combination with this unit makes it possible to achieve outstanding DJ
performances.
In these operating instructions, the version of rekordbox for Mac/
Windows is referred to as “rekordbox (Mac/Windows)”. “rekordbox” is
used to indicate the versions of rekordbox (Mac/Windows) and rekordbox (iOS/Android) simultaneously, as well as when referring to rekordbox
functions directly.

BROWSE
A large 6.1-inch color LCD is used to display not only text data but also
jacket photos. The combination of a GUI displaying music file information in easily understandable fashion and a rotary selector with easy
operation lets you select tracks with no stress.
WAVE ZOOM
An enlarged waveform of the track that can be enlarged or reduced is
displayed. This enlarged waveform is color-coded by band, allowing you
to check the track’s information visually in greater detail.
BEAT COUNTDOWN
The number of beats remaining to the stored cue points is displayed.
When cue points are set and stored in advance at breaks in the tracks,
etc., this gives you an accurate account of the number of beats to the
set point.
QUANTIZE
The CDJ-2000NXS is equipped with a quantize function for putting a
track on beat even when the button is pressed roughly, as long as the
track has been analyzed with rekordbox. When setting real time cues
and hot cues, the beat is automatically set to the beat closest to the position at which the button was pressed.
On this unit, accurate, on-beat performances are possible without breaking the rhythm of the currently playing track, not only when making
settings but also when using such functions as looping, reversing and
hot cueing during playback.

BEAT SYNC
The tempo and beat position of the track to be played on this unit can
automatically be matched to another DJ player connected by PRO
DJ LINK. The assistance to mixing provided by the beat sync function
makes it possible to hold performances with mixing, effects, etc., greatly
expanding the range of DJ performances. (The tracks must be analyzed
ahead of time with rekordbox in order to use the beat sync function.)

SLIP MODE
This unit is equipped with a slip mode function that keeps the track moving in the background while looping, reversing, scratching, hot cueing or
pausing. This enables innovative DJ performances while maintaining the
original track’s development, even after looping, reversing, scratching,
hot cueing or pausing are finished.
HIGH SOUND QUALITY
The CDJ-2000NXS is designed for thorough improvement of the sound
quality, for both the digital and analog outputs.
For the digital circuitry, a high performance Wolfson D/A converter is
used to faithfully reproduce even the most delicate sounds, achieving
clear, high quality sound with a rich sense of mass and acoustic field.
For the analog circuitry, a hybrid OP amplifier is used to reduce to the
utmost limits that inaudible noise of 20 kHz and higher that can blur
the original sound. Unwanted digital noise is shut out to achieve clear,
highly transparent sound faithful to the original.
SOUND CARD
This unit is equipped with exclusive interface and MIDI interface for
controlling the DJ software of other brands. There is also a built-in sound
card, so other equipment can be connected easily.

Creating backup discs
When CD-R/-RW, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R DL (dual layer)
and DVD+R DL (dual layer) discs are paused or left in the pause mode
at cue points for long periods of time, it may become difficult to play the
disc that point, due to the properties of the disc. When a specific point
is looped repeatedly an extremely large number of times, it may become
difficult to play that point.
When playing valuable discs, we recommend making backup discs.
Regarding copy protected CDs
This unit is designed to CD standards. Operation and performance of
discs with standards other than CD standards is not guaranteed.
About playing DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a new two-sided disc, one side of which contains DVD
content — video, audio, etc. — while the other side contains non-DVD
content such as digital audio material.
The non-DVD, audio side of the disc is not compatible with this player.
For more detailed information on the DualDisc specification, please refer
to the disc manufacturer or disc retailer.
