POWER-CORD CAUTION
CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power
cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a
short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a
piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cords should be routed such that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord
can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will
provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of
sound levels is included for your protection.
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how
you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most 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.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
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
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,
thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad
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:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we
want you listening for a lifetime.

Features
This unit is a DJ player that carries over the technology of the Pioneer CDJ series, the world standard in club players. It is a multi player for DJs
supporting a variety of sources, enabling full-fledged DJ play easily.
MULTI MEDIA, MULTI FORMAT
BEAT DISPLAY
This unit can play not only music CDs (CD-DA), but also music files
(MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF) recorded on mass storage class USB
devices (flash memory devices and hard discs) and CD-R/-RW discs. It
can also be used as DJ software controller and audio interface.
The beat position corresponding to the track’s BPM and the playback
position are shown on the main unit display. This allows you to check
the beat visually for scratch and loop performances.
BPM LOCK
TM
rekordbox
When the master BPM is set in advance, the playing speed of the cur-
rently playing track can be automatically set to the master BPM at the
press of a button.
Full-fledged BPM mixing is possible easily, without moving the
TEMPO slider.
rekordbox, a music management software application exclusively for
Pioneer DJ players, is included. It allows music files on a computer to
be managed in a variety of ways (analysis, setting, creation, storage
of playback history, etc.). Also, music files managed with rekordbox
can be transferred to USB devices for convenience in selecting tracks,
operating playlists and so on when the USB device is connected to
this unit.
PLAYLIST
The currently playing or selected track can be registered on the play-
list, as desired (but only for tracks managed with rekordbox).
System setup example
A DJ system like the one shown on the diagram below can be set up by combining this unit with a DJ mixer and peripheral devices.

at that point, due to the properties of the disc. Also, when a specific
point is looped repeatedly an extremely large number of times, it may
become difficult to play that point.

About MP3 files
About AAC files
MP3 files can have a constant bit rate (CBR) or a variable bit rate
(VBR). Both types of files can be played on the CDJ-350, but the search
and super fast search functions are slower with VBR files. If your prior-
ity is operability, we recommend recording MP3 files in CBR.
!
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.
In addition to AAC files with the extension “.m4a” encoded with
iTunes®, files with the extensions “.aac” and “.mp4” can also be
played. Note, however, that copyright-protected AAC files pur-
chased for example at the iTunes Music Store cannot be played.
Also, some files may not be playable, depending on the version of
iTunes used for encoding.

Non-finalized (partial discs) CD-R/-RW cannot be played on the CDJ-350.
Irregularly shaped discs other than standard 12 cm discs cannot be played on the CDJ-350 (doing so will lead to damage or accidents).
The BPM measured by the CDJ-350 may differ from the BPM indicated on the disc or that of a Pioneer DJ mixer, etc. This is due to the differ-
ent methods used for measuring the BPM, and is not a malfunction.

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.

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.
