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 forprofessional 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 w
ROM.
Al
so, by c
o
nnecting this player to a computer equipped with the accessory DJS software, this player can 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 trad
ition of P
ioneer’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.

(CD-DA) or CD graphics (CD-G), as well as compressed music files
(MP3/AAC) recorded on CD-R/-RW, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, or
DVD±R dual layer discs (some discs may not play properly due to
unique characteristics of the individual disc, recording
characteristics, and disc conditions such as scratches and
soiling). Playback is also supported for compressed music files
(MP3/AAC/WAV/AIFF) stored on USB storage devices.
DJ SOFTWARE
Sources potentially available on the BROWSE screen include
DJ software, including both the accessory DJS program and
other DJ software, even without the need for a control disc. The
use of MIDI DJ software is also supported. Further, by
designating the MEP-7000 as an audio output device, it can be
also used for audio output, thus eliminating the necessity of
using the mixer to switch between music sources.
MEMO
• Most of the data regarding button and TEMPO adjust slider
operations on this player can be output to external devices
using USB MIDI or dedicated formats. In order to use this unit
to control DJ software, it is necessary to install a driver program.
• A dedicated ASIO driver is also available for audio output.
•It may not be possible to designate this player as an audio
output device, depending on the type of DJ software used.

storage devices and disc media and recorded on a “playlist,” thus
allowing track selection for DJ play without the need to search for
the tracks.
SCRATCH EFFECT
Equipped with scratch effects for diverse scratch sound
performance
Equipped with three differing scratch sounds, including
[SCRATCH], [TRANS], and [BUBBLE]. These new scratch sound
performances broaden your DJ play potential.

storage devices, tracks can be classified into categories by album,
artist, and genre, facilitating smooth track selection and keyword
searching. For even simpler, more convenient library authoring,
library authoring software can be downloaded from the following
website:
http://www.prodjnet.com/support/
MONITOR OUT

result in damage to the unit.
• If the unit must be moved while still in its rack, take
precautions to protect the unit from vibration and impact.
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
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.
Cleaning the Jog Dial
To clean the jog dial 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.
Applying alcohol, paint thinner, benzene, insecticides, or other
stringent substances to the jog dial may cause the markings or
finishing of the dial to peel or become discolored, and the use of
any such substances should accordingly be avoided.

REGARDING FORCIBLE DISC EJECT
If the EJECT () button fails to operate and a disc cannot be
removed, insert the furnished forcible eject pin into the forcible eject hole on the front panel of the drive unit to allow the disc to be
removed.
When performing forcible eject, always abide by the following
precautions:
1Turn off the power to the drive unit and wait at least one
minute.
Inserting the forcible eject pin before one minute
has elapsed may occasion the following dangers:
• The disc may be ejected while it is still rotating at high speed,
causing injury to fingers or hands.
•The drive’s disc clamp may rotate in an unstable condition,
causing damage to the disc.
2Use only the furnished eject pin (do not use other objects)
When the forcible eject pin is inserted fully into the forcible
eject hole, the disc will come out of the slot by about 5 mm to
10 mm, where it can be grasped by the fingers and removed.
English
NOTE
• Do not attempt to reinsert a disc while the eject procedure
is still operating and the [EJECT] indicator is lighted. If a
disc is pressed back in while it is still being ejected (the
[EJECT] indicator is lighted), the mechanism may stop. In
this case, press the EJECT () button once again, and wait

WRITING MANAGEMENT DATA TO A USB
STORAGE DEVICE
When this unit is used with a USB storage device to play music,
various management data files are created within the storage
device. The management data are of the following three types, and
stored within the hidden director y named “PIONEER” (in HFS+
format, named “.PIONEER”). Note that if these data folders and
their files are deleted, cue and other information created by the
unit will be deleted.
CUE folder
Cue data files are created whenever cue point memory is used with
tracks on the USB storage device. Approximately 200 bytes of
space are required for each cue point.
PLAYLIST folder
Playlist data files are created whenever a playlist is created for
tracks on a USB storage device. Approximately 100 Kbytes are
required for each playlist.
LIBRARY folder
This folder is created whenever the UTILITY screen is used to make
a music library. Storage space required per track ranges from
several hundred bytes to about 1 Kbyte.
Connecting a USB storage device
By connecting a USB memory or other USB storage device, the
music files on the storage device will be read into this unit.
1Connect the device to the USB1 or USB2 port.

assumes no responsibility for any loss of data
resulting from connecting any given USB device to
this unit.
•Proper operation may not be possible when a USB storage
device is connected through a USB hub.
• Even if a USB hub is used to connect multiple USB storage
devices, the second and later devices cannot be used.
•Operation cannot be guaranteed when using a USB

If the STOP operation is not completed before
disconnection, cue/loop memory and playlist update
may not occur properly, resulting in the loss of data.
Also, the USB storage device may becomes
