you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound

equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association’sConsumerElectronicsGroupwantyoutogetthemost
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.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS

Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap

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:

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING
CHECKING ACCESSORIES
• Power cord
Location
Install the unit in a w ell-ventilated location w here it w ill
not be exposed to high tem peratures or hum idity.
Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to
direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Exces-
sive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal com -
ponents. Installation of the unit in a dam p or dusty envi-
ronm ent m ay also result in a m alfunction or accident. (Avoid
installation near cookers etc., where the unit m ay be ex-
posed to oily sm oke, steam or heat.)
• Short-circuit pin plug (four)
These are inserted in the PHONO 1 and PHONO 2 term i-
nals at the rear.
Condensation
• Operating instructions
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previ-
ously cold surroundings or when the room tem perature
rises sharply, condensation m ay form inside, and the unit
m ay not be able to attain its full perform ance. In cases like
this, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the
room tem perature gradually.
Cleaning the unit
• Use a polishing cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.
• When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth
dipped in som e neutral cleanser diluted five or six tim es
with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a
dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.
• Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide sprays or other
chem icals on or near this unit, since these will corrode
the surfaces.

3-Band Equalizer & Kill
A 3-band equalizer corresponding to the HI, MID, and LOW
channels. The attenuation level also serves as a kill func-
tion which can decrease the level to –20 dB.
BPM Level Display (Beat m eter display)
Displays the level of sound com ponents determ ining the
BPM.
Digital Display of Effector
Loads the m aster tem po incorporated in Pioneer CD play-
ers. Key changes by the rotary type linear control can give
new perform ance effects to the m ixer.
The beat can be checked visually.
Peak Level Meter
The peak level m eter provided is equipped with 15-bit LED
indicators for all channels. This m eter can be switched be-
tween BPM and peak.
Variety of Effects
Both external effects and internal effects can be im posed
on all channels, the m icrophone, and m aster.
A variety of effects such as delay, echo, auto pan, flanger,
reverb, and pitch shifter can be enjoyed.
Fader Start
Enhanced Input/ Output Term inals
In addition to the 9 inputs, 2 CD and 2 LINE system s, 3
PHONO (for MM only) system s, and 2 m icrophone system s,
three outputs including the pro-specifications XLR output,
and booth m onitor output are provided independently.
SEND/RETURN term inals are also provided for the exter-
nal effectors.
The CD player can be started by increasing the level of the
cross fader or channel fader, which is selected using the
cross fader switch. (This function can be used only when

Features of Various Effectors
Auto BPM Counter (AUTO BPM COUNTER)
Autom atically m easures the BPM (beats per m inute (tem po)) of the song and displays it digitally. (*1)
It not only counts the beat of bass sounds but also calculates, using a com puter, the original BPM of the song required by DJ s
and displays it digitally.
This allows the BPM to now be checked not only with the ear as done previously but also visually, thereby enabling songs
with different tem pos to be m ixed m ore quickly and sim ply.
(*1: Able to calculate the BPM of m ost songs, but not of som e (e.g. acapella, ad lib, etc.).)
Beat Effector (Effects linked to BPM)
Various effects are linked to the BPM calculated by the above auto BPM counter to allow a never-before sound m ixing.
1. Delay (one repeated sound)
Mixes delay sounds of 1/2, 3/4, and 1/1 beats quickly and sim ply.
For exam ple, when 1/2 beat delay sounds are m ixed, the beat will change from 4 to 8.
When 3/4 beat delay sounds are m ixed, the rhythm will change to a jum py one.

2. Echo (repeated sounds)
Mixes echo sounds of 1/2, 3/4, and 1/1 beats quickly and sim ply.
For exam ple, when input sounds are cut with the 1/1 beat echo sound, the song fades out while repeating sounds corre-
sponding to the beat.
When the m icrophone sound is im posed by 1/1 beat echo, it is repeatedly played back.
Troll effects can be produced by im posing 1/1 beat echo on the vocals of the song.

3. Auto Pan (L-R Balance)

Also pans sounds to the left and right in a short tim e (short auto pan) which cannot be perform ed m anually.

5. Pitch Shifter
The pitch (key) can be changed within the ±1 octave range.
As the speed of the analog record turntable and the CD player change by %, the changes in the volum e can be corrected by %.
When the pitch shifter is set to m icrophone sound, it produces voice changer effects.
6. Reverb
Produces reverb effects.
7. Send/ Return (External Effects Input/ output)
Connects available effectors, sam plers, etc.

Fader Start Play
When the DJ m ixer DJ M-500 and the CD player CDJ -500G for DJ s are connected using the control cable, fader start play
can be perform ed. This m eans that by increasing the m ixer fader control, the pause of the player will be released and the
song starts im m ediately autom atically. The cross fader can also be used to perform fader start play. By returning the fader
to the original position, as the player will be returned to the cue point (back cue), sam pler playing can also be perform ed.
(DJ M-500 fader start play can be perform ed even when com bined with the CDJ -500G and CDJ -500 . However, back cue
play can be perform ed only when com bined with the CDJ -500 .)
