Setting master tempo
★This function is not supported when the rear panel NORMAL/DJ switch is set to the NORMAL position.
During playback, press the MASTER TEMPO button.
The master tempo indicator lights and the “MT” indicator appears on the display. In this way, the music pitch will not vary even if the TEMPO control slider is used to change the tempo (speed).
¶Note that sound quality will deteriorate, however, due to digital processing of the audio signals.
¶When power is first turned on, this function defaults to OFF.
Jog dial functions
★This function is not supported when the rear panel NORMAL/DJ switch is set to the NORMAL position.
1.Rotate during playback (pitch bend).
When the jog dial is set to VINYL mode ON, take care to operate the jog dial by rotating its outer periphery (the inclined surface); touching the top panel will cause operation of a separate function.
¶Playback is accelerated (FWD+) or decelerated (REV–) in an amount corresponding to the degree of jog dial rotation. In the reverse play mode, the operating directions are reversed (accelerated when rotated in the REV– direction, and decelerated when rotated in the FWD+ direction).
¶When the jog dial rotation is stopped, playback returns to its previ- ous speed.
2.Rotate during playback (scratch play).
See the section “Scratch Play” in Advanced Operations (P. 43).
3.Rotate during pause (frame search).
[When jog mode is in VINYL mode OFF]
The player will enter the audible pause mode (the paused image is displayed).
¶When the jog dial is rotated, the audible pause position changes in individual frame units, in the direction corresponding to the direc- tion of jog dial rotation.
¶One full revolution of the jog dial is equivalent to 1.8 seconds (135 frames) of disc advance (or reversal).
[When jog mode is in VINYL mode ON]
The player will enter the silent pause mode (the paused image is displayed).
¶When the jog dial is rotated, the disc is played back in the direction and at a speed proportional to the direction and speed of jog dial rotation, and the pause position changes in individual frame units.
¶When the hand is removed from the surface of the jog dial and rotation stops, the unit enters the silent pause mode again with paused image displayed.
¶One full revolution of the jog dial is equivalent to 1.8 seconds (135 frames) of disc advance (or reversal).
4.Rotate during playback or in pause mode (spin).
See the section “Spin play” in Advanced Operations (P. 43).
5.Rotate during playback, while depressing the REV1/ FWD¡ buttons (super-fast search).
While holding one of the REV1/FWD¡ buttons depressed, ro- tate the jog dial in the direction corresponding to the direction of de- sired search; the search will be performed at faster- than-normal speed.
6.Rotate while depressing PREVIOUS4/NEXT¢button (super-fast track search).
While holding one of the PREVIOUS4/NEXT¢ buttons de- pressed, rotate the jog dial in the direction corresponding to the di- rection of desired search (track search or chapter search); the search will be performed at a faster-than-normal speed, proportionate to the direction and speed of jog dial rotation.
7.Rotate while depressing the DVD TITLE/MP3 FOLDER / \ button.
(Super-fast title search) (DVD) (Super-fast folder search) (MP3)
While holding one of the DVD TITLE/MP3 FOLDER /\ buttons depressed, turn the jog dial in the direction you wish to perform the search. Super-fast title (or folder) search will be performed in the direc- tion the jog dial is turned, and in proportion to the speed of the jog dial’s rotation.
Basic Operations
Note:
The top surface of the jog dial is equipped with a pressure-sensitive switch. Do not rest objects on the dial, or subject it to severe im- pact or pressure. Do not rest drinks or other open liquids on the player; if the liquid spills, it may enter the player’s parts, damaging the player.
Jog sensitivity adjustment
By rotating the JOG ADJUST dial, the sensation of resistance felt when rotating the jog dial can be adjusted.
Rotate JOG ADJUST dial.
¶When rotated clockwise, resistance increases.
¶When rotated counterclockwise, resistance decreases.
¶Adjust the setting within the scale’s gray zone to set the jog dial sen- sation equivalent to that of the CDJ-1000MK2.

About the WAVE display
★This function is not supported when the rear panel NORMAL/DJ switch is set to the NORMAL position (replaced by TEXT dis- play).
The WAVE display shows the changes in a track’s bass beat (bass drum, etc.), thus allowing the DJ to understand where breaks and end points come in the track. When the TEXT MODE button is used to switch to WAVE display, the single chapter or track will be displayed over the full range (100 points) of the display.
¶After a track change, some time is required before the entire track’s WAVE display can be shown. By prerecording desired tracks’ WAVE patterns on a memory card, the next time the track is played its WAVE pattern can be displayed instantly.
¶If a track’s low-frequency beat changes are too low in volume, the break points in the track may not be displayed properly.
¶If a search or pause operation is performed during the time the wave- form is being read, the waveform will not be displayed properly.
¶Read-ahead processing of the WAVE display is not possible during DVD or MP3 playback.
¶When playing MP3, WAVE display may not be possible, depending on the track.
