LISTENING

For A Lifetime

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time
to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most
out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or
distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive
hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

÷ Start your volume control at a low setting.
÷ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and

clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

÷ Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage
or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of
fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend
you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound
levels is included for your protection.

Decibel
Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

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 heat-generating 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 audio 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.

Installing the CMX-5000 in an EIA rack

The screw holes on the front panel o the CMX-5000 are
designed for use in attaching the unit to a 19-inch EIA rack.
÷ Remove the four legs on the unit before installing the unit in

the rack.

÷ Use four 3/16-inch-diameter, 3/8-inch-length screws to attach

to rack. (Screws not included with CMX-5000 CD player.)

Note

÷ Never place this CD player directly above a power amplifier,

as the heat given off by the amplifier might result in damage
to the unit. Placing the CD player directly above a power
amplifier might also result in ham radio signals being picked
up or in other types of interference.

÷ Always be sure to remove the CD player from its rack before

shipping.

÷ When moving the CD player while still installed in its rack,

exercise caution to avoid subjecting the player to shocks or
vibration.

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 to 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.

4 <DRB1254>

Do not place on or against
vibrating materials!

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.

Read before use

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).

'

FORCED DISC EJECTION

If the EJECT button fails to work and it becomes impossible
to eject a disc, the disc may be ejected by inserting the disc
ejection pin in the manual disc ejection hole located on the
front panel of the player.
Always be sure to observe the following points when
manually ejecting discs.
1 Be sure to turn off the power to the CD player and wait

for 1 minute or more before ejecting the disc.

Manually ejecting a disc immediately after the
power to the unit has been turned off may
result in one of the following problems from
occurring, and care should accordingly be
taken never to eject discs immediately after the
power has been turned off.

÷ The disc will still be spinning when it is ejected, thus

resulting in cuts to the fingers or other forms of bodily
injury.

÷ The disc clamps will spin in an unstable state, thus

resulting in scratching of discs.

2 Be sure to use only the disc ejection pin included with

your CMX-5000 (i.e., never use a paper clip or any other
object).
Inserting the disc ejection pin into the hole until it
encounters resistance will cause the disc to be ejected
some 5 to 10 millimeters from the insertion slot. The
disc may then be removed by grasping it by hand and
pulling.

÷ 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.

FEATURES

The Pioneer CMX-5000 is a twin CD player designed for use by DJs which provides not only the features and performance required in
a discotheque sound system in a CD player but also provides new features only possible in a CD player.

AUTO MIXING

With a new sensor system developed exclusively by Pioneer, the
CMX-5000 can measure beat timing and the number of BPM and
can automatically remix tracks in a specified order.

÷ Three playback modes

There are three playback modes: DISC mode, TRACK mode,
and PROGRAM mode.

÷ Wide variety of different types of mixing

There are four different types of mixing: cut-in mixing, echo
mixing, zip mixing, and cross-fade mixing.

÷ Shortened playback time feature which can be used to

shorten track playback time

CUEING

A wide variety of cueing capabilities

÷ Back cueing

The CMX-5000 comes with a CUE button which can be pressed
after a track has begun to play to return to the cueing point and
resume play from there.

÷ Auto cueing

Auto cueing may be used to automatically skip the silent
portion at the head of each track and stand by just before the
point where sound begins.

The PLAY button may then be pressed to instantaneously start the
track.

÷ Cue point sampling

Cueing points may be stored in memory to make it possible to
play back from that point from anywhere within a disc at the
touch of a single button.

This feature is particularly useful for checking cueing points or for
use as a sampler.

FADER START

DJ mixer fading can be used to quick starting or back cueing

The CMX-5000 can be connected to a separately-sold DJM-500,
DJM-600, or DJM-300 mixer, and the mixer fading can be used to
perform quick starting or back cueing.

HIGH QUALITY SOUND

With a legato link conversion feature which makes it possible to
replay sound of high frequencies of over 20 kHz which would be lost
when recorded on CDs, the CMX-5000 eliminates the harshness
found in high sound ranges on CDs to make it possible to produce
sound near that of a true analog recording.

JOG DIAL

Large 100-mm dial which may be used to correct out-of-synch
beats in much the same way as with an analog turntable

The jog dial may be lightly rotated by hand to search for the point
from which you wish to begin playback in 1/75-second frame units.
This jog dial may also be used to make searching even faster than
ordinary searching or track searching.

MASTER TEMPO

Master tempo feature makes it possible to change the tempo
of a song without changing intervals

While changing the tempo of a song on an analog player causes
intervals to be changed as well, the CMX-5000 comes with a master
tempo control feature that takes advantage of digital technology to
make it possible to change the tempo of songs without changing
intervals.

MULTI READ

The CMX-5000 comes with a multi-reading feature which makes it
possible to play back both CD-R and CD-RW discs. (Note, however,
that there may be times when it is impossible to play a disc due to
special characteristics of the disc or the recorder used to burn the
disc or because of dirt, soiling, or scratching of the disc.)

PLAYING ADDRESS

Bar graph display which makes it possible to gain an intuitive
feel of the elapsed and remaining play time of a track in progress

To make it possible to gain the same sort of intuitive feel of the
elapsed and remaining play time as possible by looking at the
position of a needle on an analog record, the CMX-5000 uses a bar
graph display which makes it possible to gain an instantaneous
visual feel of the elapsed and remaining play time of a track in
progress. The length of a bar makes it possible to instantly check
the current position and the display also flashes to provide a warning
when it nears the end of a track.

QUICK START

A quick start button which may be pressed during a pause to
start playback virtually instantaneously (delay time of less than

0.01 seconds)

While ordinary CD players require up to 0.3 seconds for playback to
begin from a pause state, the CMX-5000 virtually eliminates this
delay, thus making it possible to segue smoothly from one track to
the next.

REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOPING

Seamless looping feature which makes it possible to set the
loop starting point in real time

Able to be used to easily specify and remove loop settings, this
feature can be used to specify loop settings instantly while a track is
playing as soon as one recognizes the point from which one wishes
to start the loop. It is also possible to create a loop from just before
the end of a track to keep the track from ending. The CMX-5000 also
comes with a new adjustment mode which makes it possible to
change the end point of a loop with the press of a single button,
thus making looping easier to use than ever.

RELOOPING

Relooping feature which makes it possible to return to
predefined loops as many times as desired

Pressing the RELOOP button after exiting from a loop causes the CD
player to return to the currently defined loop and replay the loop again.
And by learning how to turn relooping on and off in conjunction with
the rhythm, the possibilities can be even further extended.

SLOT INSERTION

Slot mechanism which makes it possible to quickly insert,
replace, and remove discs

Discs may be inserted directly into the CD player without first
ejecting a disc tray or opening a door, thus making it possible to
quickly play the opening bars of tracks.

TEMPO CONTROL

High-performance 60-mm slide control which makes it easy to
change the tempo of songs

With a digital display which displays tempo controls in 0.1% units,
the CMX-5000 makes it easier to more accurately control tempos.

÷ Tempo control range

The maximum variable range may be set to three levels at ±6, ±10,
or ±16% of the original range, thus making it easier than ever before
to perform tempo control.

W PROTECTION

In addition to an oil damper float mechanism which greatly reduces
the possibility of skipping even if the player is subjected to shocks or
vibrations from the floor or from rough handling during playback, the
CMX-5000 also includes a new electronic anti-skipping mechanism
to provide two levels of protection against skipping.

be selected, and the button which has been pressed will light up
to indicate the selected player. Pressing the button again will
cause the button to be unlit. Note that both players are selected
by default at power-on time, thus resulting in mixed sound being
output through both Player A and Player B.

will cause the player to skip to the first track (i.e., Track No.

1).

7 Super-fast track searching

Turn the jog dial while pressing either TRACK SEARCH
button (4, ¢).

¶ Turning the jog dial in the direction you wish to skip while

pressing the forward or reverse TRACK SEARCH button

(4, ¢) will cause the player to enter high-speed

skipping mode, with the speed being adjusted in

accordance with the degree to which the jog dial is turned.

¶ Tracks will be skipped in the same direction as that in

which the jog dial is rotated. The direction indicated by the

TRACK SEARCH button actually pressed will be ignored.

¶ Releasing the TRACK SEARCH button causes the player

to leave high-speed skipping mode.

Fast forward and rewind

7 Using the SEARCH button (1, ¡) to fast forward

or rewind

During playback, press the forward or reverse SEARCH
button (1, ¡).

Pressing the forward SEARCH button (¡) and keeping it
pressed will cause the CD to fast-forward. Pressing the
reverse SEARCH button (1) and keeping it pressed will
cause the CD to rewind.

7 Super-fast searching

from the cueing point by pressing the CUE button.

7 Manual cueing

1. During playback, press the PLAY/PAUSE button (3/8) to

pause playback at the point from which you wish to
begin playback.

2. Search for the precise position of the cueing point.

7 Using frame numbers to specify cueing points

Cueing points may be specified in 1-frame units (where 75
frames are equivalent to 1 second).
Use the jog dial or the forward or reverse SEARCH button
(1, ¡) to advance to the desired frame. Rotating the
jog dial once causes the player to advance or rewind 75
frames in the specified direction. Similarly, pressing the
forward or reverse SEARCH button causes the player to
advance or rewind 1 frame in the specified direction.

7 Listen to the sound at the current frame to determine

the cueing point

Turn the jog dial slowly and then return it to just before the
point from which you wish to begin playback. (The cueing
point thus defined will consist of that point directly after
the sound which can be heard during a cueing pause.)

3. Press the CUE button when you reach the desired frame
number or hear the sound at the point from which you
wish to begin cueing.

¶ When the sound is muted and the cueing indicator (CUE)

lights up, the cueing point will have been stored to

¶ When the DJ mixer cross fader control has been shifted

all the way to the right, the segueing from track A to track
B will have been completed.

7 Long mixed playback

As long as the number of BPM is the same, track A and track
B may be cleanly mixed even with the cross fader control set
in the middle.

7 Fader start playback

If the DJM-300, DJM-500, or DJM-600 cross fader start
feature is used, step 11 above may be omitted, thus making
it even easier to perform mixing. If the CROSS FADER
control is also returned to its original position, it will cause the
player to return to the state described in step 10, thus making
it possible to perform cueing repeatedly.

Fader start playback

The provided control cable may be used to connect the control
jack on the CMX-5000 to a control jack on a DJM-300, DJM-500,
or DJM-600 mixer, thus making it possible to exit from cueing
standby mode and to start playback immediately by raising the
DJ mixer channel fader. The cross fader may also be used to
perform fading starts on the player as well. The fader may also
be returned to its original position to return the player to the
cueing point (i.e., to perform back cueing). (This does not apply,
however, during auto playback.) (See p. 10 for instructions on
how to connect the player and mixer.)

Appendix

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you believe your CD player is failing to work properly, check the following troubleshooting table for tips. Sometimes simple mistakes
in setup or operation may appear like serious problems. There are also times when the problem in question may be caused by
something else other than your CD player, and at times like these you should check any other electronic devices being used at the
same time.
If the problem in question continues to persist even after checking the troubleshooting table below and taking whatever corrective
action is recommended, contact your nearest Pioneer Service Station or contact the store from which you purchased your player for
further assistance.

Description of problem

A disc fails to be ejected even after the
EJECT button has been pressed.

Playback comes to a halt almost
immediately after it begins.

No sound is output.

Sound is distorted or full of noise.

A large amount of noise is generated
when playing back a certain disc or
discs. Playback halts unexpectedly.

Possible cause of problem

÷ Power cord has not been plugged in.
÷ EJECT button is broken.

÷ Disc has been inserted upside down.
÷ Disc is dirty or covered with condensation.

÷ Power cord has come loose or has not been

properly plugged in.

÷ Audio mixer is not working properly.
÷ Jacks or jack plugs are dirty.
÷ Player is currently in pause mode.

÷ Output cord has not been properly plugged in.
÷ Jacks or jack plugs are dirty.
÷ Player is subject to noise from a nearby

television set.

÷ Disc is seriously warped or scratched.
÷ Disc is unusually dusty or dirty.

Recommended action

÷ Plug in power cord.
÷ See p. 11.

÷ Reinsert with label side facing upward.
÷ Wipe disc to remove dust or

condensation.

÷ Plug in power cord properly.
÷ Check switch and volume settings on

audio mixer.

÷ Wipe away dust or dirt and reinsert plugs.
÷ Press the PLAY/PAUSE button (3/8) to

begin playback.

÷ Connect output cord to line input jack of

audio mixer. Do not connect to
microphone jack.

÷ Wipe away dust or dirt and reinsert plugs.
÷ Turn off power to television set or move

television set further away from CD
player.

÷ Replace with new disc.
÷ Wipe away dust or dirt from disc.

Track searching fails to halt with auto
cueing turned on.

Back cueing fails to work when the
CUE button is pressed during playback.

Unable to produce loop playback by
pressing the LOOP OUT/EXIT button.

Television pictures are distorted or
noise appears in FM broadcasts.

Disc is not rotating even though power
has been turned on.

÷ Track searching sometimes takes longer than

expected when the length of silent portions
between tracks is unusually long.

÷ If the length of a silent portion between two

tracks is longer than 10 seconds in duration,
the second track cannot be played back
unless auto cueing is turned off.

÷ No cueing point has been defined.

÷ No cueing point (i.e., starting point) has been

defined.

÷ Interference caused by CD player.

÷ Disc rotation is automatically halted when no

operation is performed for 80 minutes or
longer when in pause mode.

÷ Press the TIME MODE/AUTO CUE

button and hold the button down for 1
second or longer to turn auto cueing off.

÷ Specify the desired cueing point. (See p.

16.)

÷ Specify the desired cueing point. (See p.

16.)

÷ Turn off the power to the CD player or

move the player further away from the
radio or television set.

÷ Press the PLAY/PAUSE button (3/8) to

begin playback. Alternatively, press the
EJECT button (0) to eject the disc.

÷ There may be times when the CMX-5000 fails to operate properly as a result of static electricity or some other form of interference

from an outside source. If any such problem occurs, turn off the power to the CMX-5000, wait for the currently inserted disc to
come to a full stop, and then turn on the power again to see if that fixes the problem in question.

÷ The CMX-5000 cannot be used to replay partially-written CD-R or CD-RW discs.
÷ The CMX-5000 cannot be used to replay non-standard-shaped discs or any discs other than 5 inch/12 cm discs or 3 inch/8 cm discs

which have been inserted into an 3 inch/8 cm disc adapter. (Note that attempting to replay such discs may result in damage or
breakdown.)

÷ The BPM value measured by the CMX-5000 may differ from the BPM value recorded on a CD or from our DJ mixer, but this

difference is a result of differences in the BPM value measurement method; not a result of a fault with the player.
