BEFORE OPERATIONS
FEATURES
The CDJ-800 compact disc player is designed for use by DJs providing all the func-
tions and performance required in disco clubs while offering performance, sound
quality and functionality 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 discon-
tinued 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
You can search the disc faster than normal search or track search by holding down
a SEARCH button or TRACK SEARCH button as you turn the Jog dial.
ON JOG DISPLAY
The center of the jog dial displays information regarding disc status, 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 recorded 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% increment digital
display (within a ±10% range) allows exact control of speed to make tempo ad-
justments easy and accurate.
TEMPO CONTROL RANGE
The maximum variable range can be set to two variable ranges: ±10% and ±100%
to facilitate adjustment.
MASTER TEMPO
Changes music tempo without changing pitch.
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 instantly at a press of the PLAY/PAUSE 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 function 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 point and facilitate loop operation.
AUTO BEAT LOOP
This function uses the track’s BPM to automatically set a loop out point and per-
form 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
Quick start and back cue can be performed using the fader function on DJ mixers
DJM-500, DJM-600, DJM-300 and DJM-3000 (all mixers are sold separately).
MULTI READ
CD-R, CD-RW discs can be replayed. (However, due to certain special characteris-
tics of some discs, recorders as well as dirty or damaged discs, some discs may not
replay properly.)
