The POWER switch on this unit will not completely
shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the
power cord serves as the main disconnect device for
the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet
to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the
unit has been installed so that the power cord can
be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an
accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should
also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left
unused for a long period of time (for example, when
on vacation).

S001_En
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Decibel
Level Example
30
Quiet library, soft whispers
40
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic

If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC

and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and
mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of
this unit should be performed only by qualified
service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the
cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make
sure it is properly disposed of after removal.
The equipment should be disconnected by removing
the mains plug from the wall socket when left
unused for a long period of time (for example, when
on vacation).

BEFORE OPERATING (FEATURES)
FEATURES
Designed for professional use by DJs, the CDJ-400 compact
disc player provides all the functions and performance re-
quired in disco clubs while offering performance, sound qua-
lity and functionality superior to analog players.
SCRATCH JOG EFFECT
Equipped with Scratch Jog Effect for new scratch sounds.
Equipped with three buttons [BUBBLE], [TRANS] and [WAH]
for new scratch sounds. Effects that are different from the nor-
mal scratch sound can be obtained, broadening the possibili-
ties of your DJ play.
DIGITAL JOG BREAK
Equipped with Digital Jog Break for original sound effects.
Individual remix assist functions [JET], [ROLL] and [WAH]
have been provided individually in three buttons. By choosing
a function and operating the jog dial in time with the music, a
new remix world can be experienced.
JOG DIAL
The large 115 mm diameter jog dial enables better handling
than an analog turntable.
I PITCH BEND
This function changes the music tempo depending on the di-
rection and speed the jog dial is rotated.
I 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.
I FRAME SEARCH
Moves the pause position in frame units (1/75 sec) when the
jog dial is rotated in the pause mode.
I SUPER-FAST SEARCH
By turning the jog dial while holding down the manual search
button or the track search button, disc search can be per-
formed faster than normal search or track search functions.
TEMPO CONTROL
100 mm long high-precision slider allowing free speed adjust-
ment.
With a digital display calibrated in 0.02 % units (within a ±6 %
range), tempo adjustments can be made more easily and ac-
curately.
I TEMPO CONTROL RANGE
The maximum variable range can be set to four variable
ranges; ±6 %, ±10 %, ±16 %, WIDE, to provide easier operation
environment.
I MASTER TEMPO
Maintains the same pitch of sound while changing the music
tempo.
REVERSE PLAY
When the reverse button (DIRECTION REV) is pressed so that
the button's indicator lamp lights, play is performed in the re-
verse direction.
CUE
I BACK CUE
After storing cue points in memory, press the CUE button
while playing a track to return and start from the stored cue
point.
I AUTO CUE
Skips the non-recorded part at the top of a track and automati-
cally enters stand-by mode at the track's starting point, allow-
ing playback to begin instantly when the PLAY/PAUSE button
(
6) is pressed.
I CUE POINT SAMPLER
Playback can be started at one touch from a stored cue point,
convenient for confirming start points and as sampler.
CUE/LOOP MEMORY
This player is equipped with an internal memory that permits
the recording of cue point or loop point; the recorded points
can later be recalled as desired.
REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOP
This function simplifies the setting and canceling of loops.
The loop can be set at the very instant the track is being
played. By setting a loop just before the end of the track, the
track can be made so that it doesn't stop. In addition, an
ADJUST mode has been added to enable one-touch adjust-
ments to the loop-out point, thereby facilitating the loop op-
eration.
RELOOP
Allows returning to the set loop position any number of times.
Press the RELOOP/EXIT button after canceling loop play to
return to the loop start position. By using the loop ON and OFF
combined with the rhythm of the track, new sound effects can
be created.
BEAT LOOP/LOOP DIVIDE
Automatically sets a loop-out point according to the track's
BPM and starts loop-play. Each additional time the button is
pressed, the loop is divided and a new rhythm produced.
PLAYING ADDRESS
The bar graph provides a visual reference of the track play-
back progress that enables the user to visualize the current
playback position, in the same way as is done with an analog
record by checking the position of the needle. The current po-
sition can be confirmed by the length of the graph, and in ad-
dition, the graph flashes to notify the ending of the track.
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.
RELAY PLAY
Two CDJ-400 units can be connected in tandem to perform
automatic relay play.
When track playback stops on one of the players, the standby
mode of the other player is released and playback begins au-
tomatically.

OIL DAMPER FLOAT
OIL DAMPER FLOAT construction helps resist shakes and im-
pacts.
This unit features an OIL DAMPER FLOAT design, making it
harder for distortions and sound breakup to occur due to im-
pacts from operation and vibrations from the floor.
MULTI READ
Supports playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs. (Some discs
may not replay properly, however, due to certain special
characteristics of some discs and recorders, as well as due to
dirty or damaged discs.)
MP3 DJ PLAY
MP3 files recorded on CD-ROM or USB memory device can be
played with DJ functions.
PC CONNECTION
Virtually all the button and slider functions of the CDJ-400 can
be output to external devices.
These signals can then be used to control Pioneer's own DJ
software "DJS" as well as other computer software applica-
tions. In addition, music tracks played on the computer can be
output as audio from the CDJ-400.
