I AUTO CUE Skips the non-recorded part at the top of a track and automatically enters stand-by mode at the track’s starting point, allowing 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. SCRATCH JOG EFFECT 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 normal scratch sound can be obtained, broadening the possibilities of your DJ play. 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 The large 115 mm diameter jog dial enables better handling than an analog turntable. I PITCH BEND This function changes the music tempo depending on the direction 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. 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 performed faster than normal search or track search functions. REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOP 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 adjustments to the loop-out point, thereby facilitating the loop operation. 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. 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 adjustment. With a digital display calibrated in 0.02 % units (within a ±6 % range), tempo adjustments can be made more easily and accurately. 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. PLAYING ADDRESS The bar graph provides a visual reference of the track playback 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 position can be confirmed by the length of the graph, and in addition, the graph flashes to notify the ending of the track. 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 reverse 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 automatically. 3 <DRB1451> En English Designed for professional use by DJs, the CDJ-400 compact disc player provides all the functions and performance required in disco clubs while offering performance, sound quality and functionality superior to analog players.
