Features

This unit is a multi player for professional DJs, offering the variety of functions, durability and operability required for working in discos and nightclubs. Full-fledged DJ performances can be made using tracks not only on USB devices and computers but also on mobile devices (smartphones, etc.). It is not only equipped with a wide range of features for DJ performances, including the PRO DJ LINK, WAVE and BEAT SYNC functions, it also has a high sound quality, high reliability design and panel layout providing high operability, thereby offering strong support for all types of DJ performances.

MULTI MEDIA, MULTI FORMAT

Music files stored on USB devices (flash memory devices or hard disks), SD memory cards, mobile devices, computers and discs (CD or DVD) can be played.

Music files on computers can be managed (analysis, setting, creation, history storage) with the music management software rekordbox (Mac/ Windows) that can be downloaded for free. An excellent DJ performance can be achieved by using the music files managed by rekordbox (Mac/Windows) together with this unit. ! 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.

About ejecting discs by force

! If the disc cannot be ejected by pressing the [DISC EJECTh] button, the disc can be forcibly ejected by inserting the disc force eject pin into the disc

force eject pin insertion hole on the main unit’s front panel. ! When forcibly ejecting a disc, be sure to do so following the procedure below.

1 Press the [u] switch to turn off this unit’s power and wait for 1 minute or more.

Never forcibly eject a disc directly after turning off the set’s power. Doing so is dangerous for the reasons described below. The disc will still be spinning when ejected and could hit your fingers, etc., causing injury. Also, the disc clamp will rotate in an unstable way, and the disc could get scratched.

2 Use the included disc force eject pin. (Do not use anything else.)

The included disc force eject pin is mounted on this unit’s bottom panel. When the pin is inserted all the way into the insertion hole, the disc is ejected 5 mm to 10 mm out of the disc insertion slot. Grasp the disc with your fingers and pull it out.

When using in cold places, the liquid crystal display may be dark for a while after this unit’s power is turned on. It will reach the normal brightness

after a while.

! When the liquid crystal display is exposed to direct sunlight, the light will reflect off it, making it difficult to see. Block the direct sunlight.

Cleaning the touch display

Do not use organic solvents, acids or alkalis for cleaning the surface of the touch display. Wipe with a dry soft cloth or a cloth immersed in neutral detergent and squeezed properly.

Additional information

Cautions on use

About condensation

Water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit (on operating parts and lenses) in the winter, for example, if the unit is moved from a cold place into a warm room or if the temperature in the room in which the unit is installed rises suddenly (through heating, etc.). The unit will not operate properly and will not be playable with condensation inside. Let the unit stand for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature (though this time depends on the conditions of the condensation) without turning on the power. The water droplets will evaporate and the unit will become playable. Condensation can occur in the summer as well if the unit is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner, etc. If this happens, move the unit to a different location.

Cleaning the lens

The player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for players are commercially available, we advise against using them since some may damage the lens.

Handling discs

Storing

! Always place discs in their cases and store them vertically, avoiding

hot, humid places, places exposed to direct sunlight and extremely cold places.

! Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.

About specially shaped discs

Irregularly shaped discs other than standard 12 cm discs cannot be played on this unit (doing so will lead to damage or accidents). Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.) cannot be played on this unit. Do not attempt to play such discs, as they could damage the unit.

About condensation on discs

Water droplets (condensation) may form on the surface of discs if they are moved from a cold place (particularly in winter) into a warm room. Discs may not play normally if there is condensation on them. Carefully wipe the water droplets off the surface of the disc before loading it.

Cleaning discs

! Discs may not play if there are fingerprints or dust on them. In this

case, use a cleaning cloth, etc., to gently wipe the disc from the inside towards the outside. Do not use dirty cleaning cloths.

! Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemicals. Also do not

use record spray or antistatic agents.

! For tough dirt, apply some water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly,

wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the moisture with a dry cloth.

! Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs. ! Do not let the signal surface of discs get scratched or dirty. ! Do not place two discs in the disc tray, one on top of the other. ! Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to discs. Doing so could

warp discs, making it impossible to play them. Also note that rental discs often have labels attached to them, and the label’s glue may have oozed out. Check that there is no glue around the edges of such labels before using rented discs.
