FEATURES
This unit is a multi entertainment player designed with a wide array of performance functions for parties and events, together with superb
operation characteristics, making it ideal for professional mobile DJ use. Allowing both normal type and manipulator type playing, it
represents optimal support for the next generation of DJ performance.
With the normal playing style, DJ play can be performed not only with conventional music CDs (CD-DA), but also with music files (MP3,
AAC, etc.) recorded on USB storage devices such as USB memory and external hard disc drives (HDD), together with CD-ROM and DVD-
ROM.
Also, by connecting this player to a computer equipped with the accessory DJS software, this player can be designated by DJS as an audio
output device, making possible seamless DJ play using not only music contained on USB storage devices and disc media, but also music
tracks stored within the computer.
The player also features excellent media-support characteristics, making it unnecessary to worry about specific media types, and is
provided with a high-function GUI in its center display; together, these features facilitate searching for and selecting desired tracks from
large music libraries, and eliminate the need to use the mixer to manually switch between different sources.
On the other hand, the control unit continues the tradition of Pioneer's CDJ series of players in its panel layout, functions and operations;
by connecting the control unit to your computer (USB bus power), music contained in the accessory DJS software can be played using
genuine DJ "manipulator style," without the need for mouse or keyboard operations.
