BEAT COUNTDOWN  
The number of beats remaining to the stored cue points is displayed.  
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.)

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.

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 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.
