Connecting your CDJ-400 and DJS

When you use your CDJ-400 in conjunction with DJS, you can control DJS from your CDJ-400.

By controlling DJS from your CDJ-400, you can manipulate it with the feel of using a DJ player for operations that to date you have done with your computer’s mouse and keyboard.

Connecting 1 CDJ-400

Using just one CDJ-400, you can switch between and control two DJS players. ‘1-2 Using 1 CDJ-400’

1-1Using 2 CDJ-400s

Connecting two CDJ-400s to your computer gives a direct feel to controlling your DJS player A and player B, and thus expands the range for DJ performance.

Of course all the basic functions, such as play, cue, scratch, tempo control and so on can make song selections from the DJS music list using controls like the Rotary dial.

Configuration of Audio Output from a CDJ-400 (connection example)

The CDJ-400 is set up with a function for operating as a computer’s audio device.

If you set the DJS audio output to your CDJ-400, you can output the DJS audio from the audio output terminal of your CDJ-400 in the very same way as a music source, such as music CD or USB memory that can be played on the CDJ-400.
