CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING
Location
Install the unit in a
÷Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the unit in a damp or dusty environment may also result in a malfunction or accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the unit may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)
÷When the unit is used inside a carrying case or DJ booth, separate it from the walls or other equipment to improve heat radiation.
Condensation
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside, and the unit may not be able to attain its full performance. In cases like this, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.
Cleaning the Unit
÷Use a polishing cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.
÷When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.
÷Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surfaces.

FEATURES
1) Designed for high sound quality
Electronic parts have been carefully selected and internal circuitry redesigned to provide the
2) Effects create new performance potential
150 effects in 2 systems: Each channel can be preset with three of 50 possible effects. Sequential effects can be
called up seamlessly merely by touching the names of the effects on the top panel’s LCD touch panel, creating a new level of DJ performances.
2Fader effects: an industry first, Pioneer’s “fader effects” allow the user to change effect parameters by operating the sliders for the cross fader or channel fader, thus providing greater operating facility compared to conventional rotating dials, while also allowing the DJ to apply scratch sounds to effects and create other new
remix performances.
3Beat effects: linked to track tempo (BPM: beats per minute), “beat effects” allow the user to apply echo, delay
and other effects with perfect timing.
4Effect frequency selection: effects can be targeted at HI, MID, and LOW frequency ranges as desired; simultaneous multiple frequency ranges can also be specified.
3) Ergonomic, user-customizable cross fader

smoothest possible cross fader operation.
2Independent cross fader lag cut: the mechanical play (the lag distance before sound begins) at each end of the
cross fader slider can be adjusted using the fader lag cut function, thus allowing adjustment of the sound cut when performing scratch play.
3Independent cross fader curve: an industry first, the
4“Contactless fader” mechanism: based on Pioneer’s own proprietary technology, this new contactless optical fader assures durable and stable operation under the severest of DJ performance conditions.
4) Touch-panel display provides both wide information and ease of operation
The top panel LCD display includes a fader edit monitor that displays information about user fader settings (curve, reverse, cut lag, etc.) together with other information necessary for remix and DJ play. The use of a touch panel also makes it possible to select effects easily with a single touch.
5) Other features
1An industry first for DJ mixers, this unit supports use of an optional foot switch to allow quick ON/OFF control of effects.
2When connected via a control cord to a Pioneer DJ CD player (sold separately), operation of the fader can be used
for automatic “fader start” play.
3“Fader reverse” function allows reversing of the
directions of fader operation movement.
