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 Associations  
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid  
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of  
sound levels is included for your protection.  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit  
youve just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now its time to consider how  
you can maximize the fun and excitement your  
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the  
Electronic Industries Associations 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.  
Decibel  
Level Example  
30 Quiet library, soft whispers  
40  
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic  
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office  
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine  
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant  
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock  
at two feet.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing  
comfort leveladapts to higher volumes of sound.  
So what sounds normalcan actually be loud and  
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by  
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your  
hearing adapts.  
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS  
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE  
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower  
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill  
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,  
thunderclap  
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.  
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane  
180 Rocket launching pad  
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.

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.

After storing cue points in memory, press the CUE button  
while playing a track to return and start from the stored cue  
point.  
SCRATCH JOG EFFECT  
I AUTO CUE  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
JOG DIAL  
REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOP  
The large 115 mm diameter jog dial enables better handling  
than an analog turntable.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

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.

BEFORE OPERATING (DISCS USABLE WITH THIS UNIT)  
DISCS USABLE WITH THIS UNIT  
Notes:  
Types of discs playable on this unit  
Some CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded on standalone record-  
ers or computer drives may not be playable back on this  
player, due to a variety of reasons, including disc character-  
istics, scratches, dirt, player lens dirt or condensation, etc.  
Some discs recorded on computer drives may not be  
playable on this player, depending on the recording appli-  
cation used, its settings, and operating environment. Be  
sure to use the correct formatting for the discs used. For  
details, consult the application author.  
÷ The following marks and logos are displayed on disc la-  
bels, packaging, or jackets.  
Types and Logos of playable discs  
CD  
CD-TEXT(Note 1)  
CD-R(Note 2)  
CD-RW (Note 2)  
This unit cannot play partially recorded CD-R or CD-RW  
discs that have not been finalized.  
For detailed information regarding the handling of CD-R/  
CD-RW discs, consult the handling precautions supplied  
with each disc.  
Note 1) Regarding TEXT display:  
The number of characters that can be displayed is up to 48.  
When a display exceeds eight characters in length, the display  
will scroll. Only alpha-numerics and a limited number of  
symbols can be displayed (P. 13).  
I Regarding CD-R/RW discs  
Due to the unique construction of CD-R/RW discs, leaving  
them for extended periods of time in the pause (or cue  
standby) mode at a single point may result in the discsbe-  
coming difficult to play at that place. The same symptom may  
also occur if the loop function is used to play back a single  
point on the disc excessively.  
Note 2) CD-R/CD-RW discs:  
This player supports playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded  
in audio CD format or MP3.  
* For details, consult the Operating Instructions for your re-  
corder.  
As a result, users are advised to construct backup archive  
discs when playing discs containing important data.  
I About DualDisc playback  
This product is designed to conform to standards for music  
CDs. No warranty is made for operation or performance when  
used with discs not conforming to such music CD standards.  
Playing MP3 files  
MP3 files may be found in two formats: Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR). This component supports playback  
and DJ play with both CBR and VBR type MP3 files, but in comparison with CBR files, files recorded in VBR format will experience  
slower search and super-fast search speeds. As a result, when operating speed is most important, the use of the CBR recording  
format is recommended for MP3 files.  
MP3 files must follow the format requirements listed below.

BEFORE OPERATING (CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING)  
CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING  
Storing Discs  
Location  
÷
Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for conventional  
analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp. Al-  
ways store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations with  
high heat, humidity, or extremely low temperatures. Avoid leav-  
ing discs in cars; the interior of a car in direct sunlight can become  
extremely hot.  
Install the player in a well-ventilated location where it will not be  
exposed to high temperatures or humidity.  
Do not install the player in a location which is exposed to direct sun-  
light, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect  
the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the player in a  
damp or dusty environment may aiso result in a malfunction and can  
be hazardous. Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the player  
may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.  
÷
Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc  
labels.  
Condensation  
Installation Guidelines  
÷
Placing and using the compact disc player for long periods on  
heat-generating sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc.  
will affect product performance. Avoid placing the player on heat-  
generating sources.  
Install this compact disc player as far as possible away from tuners  
and TV sets. A compact disc player installed in close proximity to  
such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.  
Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is used. In such  
cases, make use of an outdoor antenna or turn off power to the  
compact disc player.  
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold  
surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, conden-  
sation may form inside the unit and impair its performance. In such  
cases, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room  
temperature gradually.  
÷
÷
÷
Cleaning and Handling Compact Discs  
÷
The presence of fingerprints or smudges on the surface of the disc  
will not directly affect the recorded signals, but, depending on the  
degree of contamination, the brightness of the light reflected from  
the signal surfaces may be reduced causing degradation of sound  
quality. Always keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with  
a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer edge.  
When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g., near a  
speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the unit away from the  
speaker or reduce the listening vol-  
ume.  
÷
÷
Place this unit on a level surface  
and a stable platform.  
Be sure the player, including its au-  
dio and power supply cords, does  
not touch vibrating materials. Any  
cause of vibration other than the in-  
sulators may cause the disc to skip.  
Take special care when using the  
player while it is installed in a carry-  
ing case.  
÷
÷
If a disc becomes very dirty, dampen a soft cloth with water, (be  
sure to wring it out well) and wipe the away dirt gently. Remove  
any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.  
Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs.  
Never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents  
or damage to the disc surface may result.  
Please be sure to leave  
a space to allow for  
heat radiation.  
÷ With this player, use only those discs  
which display the mark shown right  
(Optical audio digital discs).  
÷ SACD hybrid discs cannot be played.  
'
Do not place on or  
against vibrating  
materials!  
÷
÷
÷
When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by  
the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.  
Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the disc surface. Also, do  
not scratch or damage the label.  
Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged,  
cracked or warped discs.  
Cleaning the Player  
To clean the PLAYER wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry cloth. For  
stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral  
detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well, and  
wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use  
volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage the  
unit.  
Do not play a CD with a special shape  
Do not play a CD having other shape than a circular disc, such as  
heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may occur.  
CD Lens Cleaner  
The players pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use. If for  
some reason, the lens becomes soiled and malfunctions, contact  
your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens cleaners for  
CD players are commercially available, but special care should be  
exercised in their use as some may cause damage to the lens.

÷ When the EJECT button is pressed, disc rotation stops  
and the disc is ejected from the loading slot.  
÷ If the disc cannot be ejected with the EJECT button, in-  
sert a pin in the forced ejection hole on the front panel of  
the player.

7 Canceling eject command  
In the event the EJECT button is pressed by mistake, if the  
PLAY/PAUSE (6) button is pressed immediately (before  
[EJECT] is displayed), the eject command will be canceled  
and playback will restart from the place immediately  
before the EJECT button was pressed (during this time,  
sound output will be temporarily interrupted).  
Insert straight  
CAUTION:  
Do not attempt to press a disc back into the slot when  
the [EJECT] indicator appears. Pressing a disc back into  
the slot while the [EJECT] indicator appears may cause  
the player to stop. In this case, press the EJECT button  
again and wait until the [EJECT] indicator goes out be-  
fore reinserting the disc.  
1. Set the rear-panel POWER switch to ON.  
Do not force a disc into the unit when the POWER switch  
is set to OFF as this may damage the disc and the unit.  
2. Insert a disc.  
÷ Hold the disc with label surface upwards, and insert into  
the front panel disc loading slot.  
÷ Only one disc can be loaded at a time. Never attempt to  
load more than one disc at the same time, or attempt to  
load a second disc when one disc has already been  
loaded.  
÷ When loading a disc, do not placing any twisting force  
on the disc, or try to force the disc into the slot. Also, do  
not attempt to interrupt or defeat the motion of the disc  
when the player begins to draw a disc into the slot or to  
eject a disc, since damage to the disc or player could  
occur.  
Forced disc ejection  
If the EJECT button does not function or the disc cannot  
be removed, pushing the pin provided into the forced  
ejection hole on the front panel will enable the disc to be  
removed.  
2 Always use the pin provided (Do not use other objects).  
The provided pin is found in a groove in the bottom sur-  
face of the player.  
When the provided forced eject pin is inserted fully into  
the forced eject hole on the front panel, the loaded disc  
is ejected about 5 mm to 10 mm from the loading slot,  
making it possible to remove it by hand.  
When performing forced ejection, be sure to follow the  
precautions below.  
1 Be sure to turn OFF the power of the CD player, and  
check that the disc has stopped rotating. It takes  
about 60 seconds for the disc to stop rotating after the  
power has been turned OFF.  
If forced ejection is performed while the disc is rotating;  
÷ As the disc will be ejected outside the CD player rotat-  
ing, it may hit your finger and cause injuries.  
÷ As the disc will be rotating with the clamp unstable, it  
may be scratched.  
For the above reasons, never attempt to eject the disc  
forcibly while it is rotating.
