D36-P5_A1_En
The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level – a level that lets the sound come through
clearly 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.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable sound
level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t
hear what’s around you.
• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Features
The CDJ-2000 is a multi player for professional DJs, offering the variety of functions, durability and operability required for working in discos and nightclubs.
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.
TM
rekordbox
The included rekordbox music management software can be used to prepare playlists, cues, loops, hot cues and other data required for DJ play unhurriedly at home
ahead of time. This allows you to devote all your attention to DJ play at the disco/nightclub, with total assurance. From acquiring music files to DJ play, all steps in the
cycle of the DJ’s work can be accomplished smoothly.
rekordbox is an application for managing music files which are used for DJ play with a Pioneer DJ Player (i.e. CDJ-2000, CDJ-900).
Data that has been detected and measured, as well as any points which have been set and stored using rekordbox, can be used in combination with a Pioneer DJ Player
(i.e. CDJ-2000, CDJ-900) to achieve outstanding DJ performance.
PRO DJ LINK
Functions include “SD & USB Export” using SD memory cards and USB devices (flash memory drives and hard discs) and “rekordbox LINK Export” using the computer
on which rekordbox is installed.
ꢀ SD & USB Export
This function can be used to transfer rekordbox music files and management data using SD memory cards/USB devices. This eliminates the need to take your com-
puter to the disco or club.

SOUND CARD
The CDJ-2000 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 equip-
ment can be connected easily.
DISPLAY
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 understand-
able fashion and a rotary selector with easy operation lets you select tracks with no stress.
WAVE DISPLAY
WAVE displays indicate the data with a higher resolution than previous Pioneer products.
NEEDLE SEARCH
When the NEEDLE SEARCH pad is touched with a finger, the sound near the position at which the pad is touched is played instantaneously. This makes for faster point
searching than ever before.
TAG LIST
In addition to playlists prepared using rekordbox, tracks to be played next can be temporarily collected inside the CDJ-2000. The music files added to the tag list can be
displayed as a list. This function is extremely convenient for selecting tracks during live performances.
KEYWORD SEARCH
Keyword searching, letter jumping and other functions let you quickly and precisely search for the desired music file.
HISTORY MEMORY
The CDJ-2000 is equipped with a history function storing the playing history of music files. Playlists can be created from this playing history using rekordbox.
0.5 FRAME STEP
The minimum frame has evolved from 1 (1/75 seconds) to 0.5 frames. This makes it possible to set the cue and loop points with greater precision to achieve accurate,
advanced DJ play.
ADVANCED JOG DIAL
The jog ring illumination lights in four places, so the top and side edges of the jog dial are clearly visible, even in dark DJ booths. This can also be used to impress the
audience.
QUANTIZE
The CDJ-2000 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.
HIGH SOUND QUALITY
The CDJ-2000 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.

ꢀ Playback of discs created on a computer or DVD recorder
!
!
It may not be possible to used card formatted on a computer, digital camera,
etc.
Pioneer does not guarantee that all SD memory cards will operate on the
CDJ-2000.
Depending on the application’s settings and the computer’s environment set-
tings, it may not be possible to play discs created on a computer. Record discs in
a format playable on the CDJ-2000. For details, contact your application’s selling
agent.
It may not be possible to play discs created on a computer or DVD recorder due
to the disc’s properties, scratches or dirt, or poor recording quality (dirt on the
recording lens, etc.).
ꢀ Cautions on using SD memory cards
!
SD memory cards are precision electronic devices. Handle them with care.
Bending, dropping or subjecting SD memory cards to strong forces or shocks
could break them. Also, do not use or store SD memory cards in environ-
ments where static electricity or electric noise tends to be produced. We
recommend periodically making copies of valuable data.
See Handling discs on page 30 for instructions on handling discs.
ꢀ 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.
!
Please note that Pioneer will accept no responsibility whatsoever for loss of
data recorded by the customer on SD memory cards or other direct or indirect
problems resulting from connection to the CDJ-2000.
!
!
After ejecting SD memory cards, store them in their dedicated case, etc.
Depending on the SD memory card you are using, the desired performance
may not be achieved.
When playing valuable discs, we recommend making backup discs.

Troubleshooting
!
Incorrect operation is often mistaken for trouble or malfunction. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes
the trouble may lie in another component. Inspect the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified after checking the
items below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.
!
The CDJ-2000 may not operate properly due to such external causes as static electricity. If this happens, normal operation can sometimes be restored by turning the
power off, waiting for the disc to stop completely, then turning the power back on.
!
!
!
Non-finalized (partial discs) CD-R/-RW, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW and DVD±R dual layer discs cannot be played on the CDJ-2000.
Irregularly shaped discs other than standard 12 cm discs cannot be played on the CDJ-2000 (doing so will lead to damage or accidents).
The BPM measured by the CDJ-2000 may differ from the BPM indicated on the disc or that of a Pioneer DJ mixer, etc. This is due to the different methods used for
measuring the BPM, and is not a malfunction.

About the liquid crystal display
!
!
!
Small black or shining points may appear on the liquid crystal display. This is a phenomenon inherent to liquid crystal displays; this is not a malfunction.
When using in cold places, the liquid crystal display may be dark for a while after the CDJ-2000’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.

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.
!
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 out-
side. 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.
About specially shaped discs
Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.) cannot be played on this
player. Do not attempt to play such discs, as they could damage the player.
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.
