CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Location

Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.

??Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the unit in a damp or dusty environment may also result in a malfunction or accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the unit may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)

??When the unit is used inside a carrying case or DJ booth, separate it from the walls or other equipment to improve heat radiation.

Condensation

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside, and the unit may not be able to attain its full performance. In cases like this, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature 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 some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times 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 chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surfaces.

FEATURES

1) Designed for high sound quality

Electronic parts have been carefully selected and internal circuitry redesigned to provide the shortest-possible signal paths, thus realizing true club sound with power to spare.

2) Effects create new performance potential

150 effects in 2 systems: Each channel can be preset with three of 50 possible effects. Sequential effects can be

called up seamlessly merely by touching the names of the effects on the top panel???s LCD touch panel, creating a new level of DJ performances.

2Fader effects: an industry first, Pioneer???s ???fader effects??? allow the user to change effect parameters by operating the sliders for the cross fader or channel fader, thus providing greater operating facility compared to conventional rotating dials, while also allowing the DJ to apply scratch sounds to effects and create other new

remix performances.

3Beat effects: linked to track tempo (BPM: beats per minute), ???beat effects??? allow the user to apply echo, delay

and other effects with perfect timing.

4Effect frequency selection: effects can be targeted at HI, MID, and LOW frequency ranges as desired; simultaneous multiple frequency ranges can also be specified.

3) Ergonomic, user-customizable cross fader

1Cross-fader ???feeling??? adjustment: the specific physical sensation of cross fader operation is all-important to the DJ; the ???feeling??? adjustment provided in this mixer is an industry first, allowing the user to adjust the physical sensation of the slider to personal preferences, for the

smoothest possible cross fader operation.

2Independent cross fader lag cut: the mechanical play (the lag distance before sound begins) at each end of the

cross fader slider can be adjusted using the fader lag cut function, thus allowing adjustment of the sound cut when performing scratch play.

3Independent cross fader curve: an industry first, the right-left independently adjustable (33 steps) cross fader curve control goes beyond the symmetrical type of cross fader curve on conventional mixers, thus broadening DJ performance capabilities.

4???Contactless fader??? mechanism: based on Pioneer???s own proprietary technology, this new contactless optical fader assures durable and stable operation under the severest of DJ performance conditions.

4) Touch-panel display provides both wide information and ease of operation

The top panel LCD display includes a fader edit monitor that displays information about user fader settings (curve, reverse, cut lag, etc.) together with other information necessary for remix and DJ play. The use of a touch panel also makes it possible to select effects easily with a single touch.

5) Other features

1An industry first for DJ mixers, this unit supports use of an optional foot switch to allow quick ON/OFF control of effects.

2When connected via a control cord to a Pioneer DJ CD player (sold separately), operation of the fader can be used

for automatic ???fader start??? play.

3 ???Fader reverse??? function allows reversing of the directions of fader operation movement.

4 Delicate 33-step channel fader curve settings.

Fader reverse function

The operating directions of the CH-1, CH-2 and cross fader levers can be reversed by setting the front panel???s FADER REVERSE switches to their [ON] positions.

When the CH-1 (or CH-2) FADER REVERSE switch is set to [ON], the top panel CH-1 (or CH-2) REVERSE indicator lights, and the corresponding lever???s operating direction is reversed (scale mark ???0??? becomes attenuation 0 dB, while scale mark ???10??? becomes minus infinity). The fader start function also operates in reverse.

When the C.F. FADER REVERSE switch is set to [ON], the top panel???s cross fader REVERSE indicator lights, and the lever operating direction is reversed (left side becomes CH-2 and right side becomes CH-1). The fader start function also operates in reverse.

Fader Start Function

When the CH-1 and CH-2 jacks of this unit are connected to a separately sold Pioneer DJ CD player (models CDJ-1000, CDJ-1000MK2, CDJ-800, CDJ-100S, CDJ-700S, CDJ-500II, CMX-3000, CMX-5000 or DMP-555), the channel fader and cross fader functions can be used to automatically start playback of the connected CD player (the applicable control cord must be connected). By moving the mixer???s channel fader or cross fader lever, the CD player???s pause function is released and play starts instantly. Also, by returning the fader lever to its original position, the CD player can be returned to its cue point (back cue function), thus allowing sampling playback.

Cross fader start play and back cue play

When the CH-1 CD player is held in standby at the cue point, merely moving the cross fader lever from the right (CH-2) side to the left (CH-1) side will cause the CH-1 CD player to begin playback.

When the cross fader lever reaches the left (CH-1) side, CH-2 CD player performs back cue (returns to its cue point). Likewise, when the CH-2 CD player is in standby at its cue point, moving the cross fader lever from the left (CH-1) side to the right (CH-2) side causes CH-2 CD player to begin playback. When the cross fader lever reaches the right (CH-2) side, CH-1 CD player performs back cue.

*Back cue is performed even if the input selector switch is not set to CD.

Start playback with channel fader

Using the Effect Functions

The basic procedures is as follows: [Select effect type] = [Set parameters (while monitoring through headphones] =[Set EFFECT switch to ON].

Below are examples of this basic operation procedure; other effects are produced in much the same way:

[Example 1] Apply delay to CH-1 track:

1.Touch the touch panel???s CH-1 (left side) DELAY button (select effect type).

??? If the DELAY button is not displayed, select and display

the button as follows:

1Hold the CH-1 (left side) FADER CURVE/BANK EDIT button depressed for about 1 second to set the touch panel to the effect select menu.

2Of the touch panel???s three buttons, select (touch) the one in which you wish to record the DELAY.

3Rotate the TIME/SELECT dial to select DELAY.

4Press (touch) the MEMORY button.

5Press the FADER CURVE/BANK EDIT button to leave the effect select menu.

???If DELAY is preset in the BANK 1, 2, or 3 buttons, DELAY can be selected by pressing the corresponding button (see page 23 ???Presetting Effects.???)

2.Press the CH-1 (left side) FX ADJ. button to display the effect parameter adjust menu on the touch panel.

3.Use the touch panel???s LOW, MID, and HI buttons to select the frequency ranges for the effect.

4.Press the touch panel???s 1/8 to 8/1 buttons as desired to select the delay time (parameter value setting).

??? Set delay time of 1/8 to 8/1 for each beat of BPM.

??? Set monitor SELECT switch to [EFFECT] to confirm the effect sound through the headphones (effects marked with the note *1 on the effects chart cannot be heard unless the EFFECT switch is set to [ON]).

??? The TIME/SELECT dial can be rotated to produce even finer delay time settings. Setting delay time of 1/2 per beat of tempo (BPM) will cause the touch panel???s 1/2 button to be highlighted, and this can be used as a general reference when adjusting the parameter.

5.Use the MIX/DEPTH dial to set the level balance between sound source and delay sound.

??? Rotate to left to reduce, and rotate to right to increase the delay sound.

6.Set EFFECT switch to [ON] or [LOCK ON].

??? The EFFECT indicator will begin flashing red, and the effect (delay) will be applied to the master output.

??? When the EFFECT switch is set to [ON] by pulling the switch forward, the switch will automatically return to [OFF] when released.

Note:

???Select effects only when the EFFECT switch is in the [OFF] position. If effects are selected when the EFFECT switch is in the [LOCK ON] position, noise may be produced.
