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 dr yer, noisy restaurant
80
Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
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

FEATURES
This unit is a multi entertainment player designed with a wide array of performance functions for parties and events, together with superb
operation characteristics, making it ideal for professional mobile DJ use. Allowing both normal type and manipulator type playing, it
represents optimal support for the next generation of DJ performance.
With the normal playing style, DJ play can be performed not only with conventional music CDs (CD-DA), but also with music files (MP3,
AAC, etc.) recorded on USB storage devices such as USB memory and external hard disc drives (HDD), together with CD-ROM and DVDROM.
Also, by connecting this player to a computer equipped with the accessory DJS software, th is pla yer ca n be designated by DJS as an audio
output device, making possible seamless DJ play using not only music contained on USB storage devices and disc media, but also music
tracks stored within the computer.
The player also features excellent media-support characteristics, making it unnecessary to worry about specific media types, and is
provided with a high-function GUI in its center display; together, these features facilitate searching for and selecting desired tracks from
large music libraries, and eliminate the need to use the mixer to manually switch between different sources.
On the other hand, the control unit continues the tradition of Pioneer’s CDJ series of players in its panel layout, functions and operations;
by connecting the control unit to your computer (USB bus power), music contained in the accessory DJS software can be played using
genuine DJ “manipulator style,” without the need for mouse or keyboard operations.
