for the management (analysis, settings, creation, history storage) of

music files on computers. Using music files managed with rekordbox in

combination with this unit makes it possible to achieve outstanding DJ

performances.

Connect the storage device (SD, USB) to the DJ player.

In these operating instructions, the version of rekordbox for Mac/

Windows is referred to as “rekordbox (Mac/Windows)”. “rekordbox” is

used to indicate the versions of rekordbox (Mac/Windows) and rekord-

box (iOS/Android) simultaneously, as well as when referring to rekordbox

functions directly.

When cue points are set and stored in advance at breaks in the tracks,

etc., this gives you an accurate account of the number of beats to the

set point.

QUANTIZE

Connect the computer and DJ player.

The CDJ-2000NXS 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 posi-

tion at which the button was pressed.

rekordbox

On this unit, accurate, on-beat performances are possible without break-

ing the rhythm of the currently playing track, not only when making

settings but also when using such functions as looping, reversing and

hot cueing during playback.

SLIP MODE

This unit is equipped with a slip mode function that keeps the track mov-

ing in the background while looping, reversing, scratching, hot cueing or

pausing. This enables innovative DJ performances while maintaining the

original track’s development, even after looping, reversing, scratching,

hot cueing or pausing are finished.

HIGH SOUND QUALITY

The CDJ-2000NXS is designed for thorough improvement of the sound

quality, for both the digital and analog outputs.

Date:2011.11.5

Title:Pro DJ Music,

Artist: Pioneer

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.

rekordbox

Check and manage the playback history with rekordbox.

BEAT SYNC

SOUND CARD

This unit 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 equipment can be connected easily.

The tempo and beat position of the track to be played on this unit can

automatically be matched to another DJ player connected by PRO

DJ LINK. The assistance to mixing provided by the beat sync function

makes it possible to hold performances with mixing, effects, etc., greatly

expanding the range of DJ performances. (The tracks must be analyzed

ahead of time with rekordbox in order to use the beat sync function.)

Titles, album names and artist names recorded in the CD-Text data are dis-

played. When multiple text data are recorded on the disc, the information for the

first text data is displayed.

ꢀ 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 environments where static electricity or electric

noise tends to be produced. We recommend periodically making

copies of valuable data.

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 this unit.

After ejecting SD memory cards, store them in their dedicated case,

etc.

ꢀ Cautions on using USB devices

Some USB devices may not operate properly. Please note that

Pioneer will accept no responsibility whatsoever for loss of data

stored by the user on USB devices or other direct or indirect prob-

lems arising due to connection of USB devices to this unit.

If a current larger than the allowable value is detected at this unit’s

USB device insertion slot, it may happen that the [USB STOP]

indicator flashes, the supply of power to the USB device is stopped

and communications are interrupted. To restore normal operation,

disconnect the USB device from this unit. Avoid using USB devices

for which excess currents have been detected. If normal operation is

not restored using the method above (if communications cannot be

established), turn this unit’s power off then back on.

Depending on the SD memory card you are using, the desired perfor-

mance may not be achieved.

If multiple partitions are set on the USB device, only the first partition

can be used. (When rekordbox library information is present, the

partition containing the rekordbox library information has priority.)

USB devices equipped with flash card readers may not operate.

Depending on the USB device you are using, the desired perfor-

mance may not be achieved.

About MP3 files

About music file artwork

MP3 files can have a constant bit rate (CBR) or a variable bit rate (VBR).

Both types of files can be played on this unit, but the search and super

fast search functions are slower with VBR files. If your priority is oper-

ability, we recommend recording MP3 files in CBR.

JPEG (extensions: “.jpg” or “.jpeg”).

Files larger than 800 x 800 dots cannot be displayed.

About character displays

About AAC files

AAC is the abbreviation of “Advanced Audio Coding”, a basic format

of audio compression technology used for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.

The file format and extension of AAC data depends on the applica-

tion used to create the data.

operating environment requirements described above.

Even with the required memory capacity indicated for the operating environment

above, in the cases described below the software may not provide full function-

ality and performance due to lack of memory. In this case, take the necessary

measures to ensure sufficient free memory. We recommend adding extra

memory in order to achieve stable performance.

When rekordbox detects that coded data, etc., for protecting the

reading, etc.) may stop.

Recordings you have made are for your personal enjoyment and accord-

ing to copyright laws may not be used without the consent of the copy-

right holder.

When resident programs and services are running

Music recorded from CDs, etc., is protected by the copyright laws of

individual countries and by international treaties. It is the full respon-

sibility of the person who has recorded the music to ensure that it is

used legally.

When handling music downloaded from the Internet, etc., it is the

full responsibility of the person who has downloaded the music to

ensure that it is used in accordance with the contract concluded

with the download site.

Depending on the computer’s power settings and other factors, the CPU and

hard disk processing capacity may be insufficient. When using laptop comput-

ers in particular, always keep the AC power connected and adjust the com-

puter's settings to maximize performance when using rekordbox.

For instructions on operating rekordbox, see rekordbox (Mac/Windows)’s operating instructions. The rekordbox (Mac/Windows) operating instruc-

tions can be viewed from the rekordbox (Mac/Windows) [Help] menu.

Also, for DJ players and DJ mixers, up to four PRO DJ LINK-compatible players can be connected with LAN cables (CAT5e) using PRO DJ LINK

connections.

A switching hub (commercially available) may be necessary, depending on the combination of models used. Use a switching hub of 100 Mbps or

greater. Some switching hubs may not operate properly.

A switching hub (commercially available) is necessary to connect to a mixer equipped with only one LAN port. For mixers with enough LAN ports for

all the DJ players and computers in the system, connect directly to the LAN ports on the mixer’s rear panel, without using a hub.

Use a wireless router (commercially available) and access point (commercially available) conforming to either IEEE802.11n or IEEE802.11g stan-

dards. Depending on the signal conditions in the usage environment and the wireless router or access point, PRO DJ LINK connections may not

operate properly.

About ejecting discs by force

If the disc cannot be ejected by pressing the [DISC EJECTh] button, the disc can be forcibly ejected by inserting the disc force eject pin into the disc

force eject pin insertion hole on the main unit’s front panel.

When forcibly ejecting a disc, be sure to do so following the procedure below.

1 Press the [POWER ON/OFF] button to turn this unit’s power off, then wait at least 1 minute.

Never forcibly eject a disc directly after turning off the set’s power. Doing so is dangerous for the reasons described below.

The disc will still be spinning when ejected and could hit your fingers, etc., causing injury.

Also, the disc clamp will rotate in an unstable way, and the disc could get scratched.

2 Use the included disc force eject pin. (Do not use anything else.)

The included disc force eject pin is mounted on this unit’s bottom panel. When the pin is inserted all the way into the insertion hole, the disc is ejected

5 mm to 10 mm out of the disc insertion slot. Grasp the disc with your fingers and pull it out.

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 this unit’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.

About specially shaped discs

Cautions on use

Irregularly shaped discs other than standard 12 cm discs cannot be

played on this unit (doing so will lead to damage or accidents).

Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.) cannot be played

on this unit. Do not attempt to play such discs, as they could damage

the unit.

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.

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.

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 outside. 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.
