Features
The CDJ-800MK2 compact disc player is designed for use by
DJs providing all the functions and performance required in disco
clubs while offering performance, sound quality and functional-
ity superior to any analog player.
JOG DIAL
The large 206 mm diameter jog dial enables better handling
than an analog turntable.
¶ PITCH BEND
This function changes the music tempo depending on direction
of jog dial rotation and speed of movement.
¶ SCRATCH PLAY
In the VINYL mode when the surface of the jog dial is pressed
playback is discontinued and then continues according to the
direction and speed the dial is rotated. You can also adjust the
startup when the jog dial is touched and released to create new
DJ techniques.
¶ FRAME SEARCH
Moves the disc from pause position in frame increments (1/75
sec) when the jog dial is rotated in pause mode.
¶ SUPER FAST SEARCH
Rotate the jog dial while holding depressed the SEARCH button,
TRACK SEARCH button, or FOLDER SEARCH button. When this
is done, search will be performed faster than the normal search,
track search, or folder search operations.
ON JOG DISPLAY
The center of the jog dial displays information regarding disc sta-
tus, cue point position, sound memory status, jog dial touch-
detection, and VINYL mode.
CUE/LOOP MEMORY
This player is equipped with an internal memory that permits the
recording of one disc cue point or loop point per disc; the re-
corded points can later be recalled as desired.
QUICK RETURN
In the VINYL mode, merely touching the Jog dial’s top surface
will initiate a quick return to the cue point.
REVERSE PLAY
When the reverse button (REV) is pressed so that the button’s
indicator lamp lights, play is performed in the reverse direction.
TEMPO CONTROL
100 mm high-precision slider coupled with a 0.05 % incre-
ment digital display (within a ±10 % range) allows exact control
of speed to make tempo adjustments easy and accurate.
¶ TEMPO CONTROL RANGE
The maximum variable range can be set to two variable ranges:
±10 % and WIDE to facilitate adjustment.
¶ MASTER TEMPO
Changes music tempo without changing pitch.
MP3 DJ PLAY
MP3 files recorded on CD-ROM can be played with DJ func-
tions.
CUE
¶ BACK CUE
After storing the cue point in memory, press the CUE button
while playing the unit to go back to the cue point and start over.
¶ AUTO CUE
Auto cue automatically locates the song’s start point even if it
differs from the track’s frame, allowing the player to start in-
stantly at a press of the PLAY button.
¶ CUE POINT SAMPLER
The sound from the memorized cue point can be reproduced by
one touch, which can be used as the start point check and the
sampler.
REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOP
This function simplifies setting and releasing loops. This func-
tion lets you set a loop while you are playing a track. A loop can
also be set at the end of the track so that the track does not
stop. In addition, an ADJUST mode has been added to enable
one-touch adjustments to Loop-out points and facilitate loop
operation.
AUTO BEAT LOOP
This function uses the track’s BPM to automatically set a loop
out point and perform loop play.
RELOOP
Allows you to replay a loop any number of times.
Press the RELOOP button after releasing loop play to return to
the loop start point. Clever use of on and off in combination with
the rhythm make it possible to create new sound effects.
PLAYING ADDRESS
This bar graph provides a visual representation of track playback
progress that enables you to see current playback position just
like you can on an analog record by checking needle position.
The length of the bar shows current position and a flashing bar
provides advance notice of track end.
SLOT IN
Discs are loaded directly without opening doors or trays, making
track selection that much faster.
FADER START
When a Pioneer DJ mixer (sold separately) is connected, the
mixer’s fader operation can be used to perform quick start and
back cue.
MULTI READ
Allows playback of CD-R, CD-RW discs (recorded in music CD or
MP3 format). (Note that some discs may not play properly due
to characteristics of the individual disc, recorder, or disc soiling
and scratches.)
