CONNECTING INPUTS

Pioneer DJ CD players

Connect a DJ CD player’s audio output connectors to one of the channel 1 to 2 CD input connectors, and connect the player’s control cable to the corresponding channel’s CONTROL connector.

Set the connected channel’s input selector switch to [CD].

Analog turntable

To connect an analog turntable, connect the turntable’s audio output cable to one of the channel 1 to 2 PHONO/LINE input connectors. Set the corresponding channel’s PHONO/LINE switch to [PHONO], and set the channel’s input selector switch to [PHONO/LINE]. The DJM- 400’s PHONO inputs support MM cartridges. Connect the turntable’s ground wire to the DJM-400’s SIGNAL GND terminal.

Connecting other devices with line level output

To use a cassette deck or other CD player, connect the component’s audio output connectors to one of the channel 1 to 2 PHONO/LINE input connectors. Then set the corresponding channel’s PHONO/ LINE switch to [LINE], and the input selector switch to [PHONO/LINE].

Microphone

The MIC1 and MIC2 jacks can be used to connect microphones with Ø6.3 mm phone plugs. Set MIC/AUX switch to [MIC] position.

Auxiliary input connectors

The MIC1 and MIC2 jacks can also be used together as a pair of stereo line input connectors to connect a component equipped with line level output connectors. Connect the component’s L channel to MIC1 (AUX(L)) jack and the R channel to the MIC2 (AUX(R)) jack. Then set the MIC/AUX switch to [AUX] (this connection requires the use of Ø6.3 mm phone plugs).
