Features Features The CDJ-1000MK3 compact disc player is designed for use by DJs providing all the functions and performance required in disco clubs while offering performance, sound quality and functional- ity superior to any analog player. JOG DIAL The large 206 mm diameter jog dial enables better handling than an analog turntable. ¶ PITCH BEND This function changes the music tempo depending on direction of jog dial rotation and speed of movement. ¶ 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. You can also adjust the startup when the jog dial is touched and released to create new DJ techniques. ¶ FRAME SEARCH Moves the disc from pause position in frame increments (1/75 sec) when the jog dial is rotated in pause mode. ¶ SUPER FAST SEARCH Rotate the jog dial while holding depressed the SEARCH button, TRACK SEARCH button, or FOLDER SEARCH button. When this is done, search will be performed faster than the normal search, track search, or folder search operations. ¶ JOG ADJUST (Jog Sensitivity Adjustment) This function allows you to adjust the felt resistance when rotat- ing the jog dial. ON JOG DISPLAY The center of the jog dial displays information regarding disc sta- tus, cue point position, sound memory status, jog dial touch- detection, and VINYL mode. WAVE DISPLAY This display makes it possible to find the breakpoint between tracks in advance and use it as mix point or end point in the same way as you can on an analog record by checking the posi- tion of the needle in the groove. CUE/LOOP MEMORY This unit is equipped with a function allowing cue points and loop points for individual discs to be recorded on SD memory cards or MultiMedia Cards (MMC); the recorded data can then be called up when playing the respective disc. HOT CUE UP to three hot cue points (A, B, C) can be preset, thus allowing playback to be performed instantly from either of those points. The hot cue function can be used to record not only cue points, but loop points as well. REVERSE PLAY Set the DIRECTION switch to its forward position ([ REV ] posi- tion) to play the music backwards. TEMPO CONTROL 100 mm high-precision slider coupled with a 0.02 % incre- ment digital display (within a ±6 % range) allows exact control of speed to make tempo adjustments easy and accurate. 4 ¶ TEMPO CONTROL RANGE The maximum variable range can be set to four variable ranges: ±6 %, ±10 %, ±16 % and WIDE to facilitate adjustment. ¶ TEMPO CONTROL RESET Resets the tempo to 0 % regardless of slider position. ¶ MASTER TEMPO Changes music tempo without changing pitch. CUE ¶ BACK CUE After storing the cue point in memory, press the CUE button while playing the unit to go back to the cue point and start over. ¶ AUTO CUE Auto cue automatically locates the song ’ s start point even if it differs from the track ’ s frame, allowing the player to start in- stantly at a press of the PLAY button. ¶ CUE POINT SAMPLER The sound from the memorized cue point can be reproduced by one touch, which can be used as the start point check and the sampler. REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOP This function simplifies setting and releasing loops. This func- tion lets you set a loop while you are playing a track. A loop can also be set at the end of the track so that the track does not stop. In addition, an ADJUST mode has been added to enable one-touch adjustments to Loop-in and Loop-out points and facili- tate loop operation. RELOOP Allows you to replay a loop any number of times. Press the RELOOP button after releasing loop play to return to the loop start point. Clever use of on and off in combination with the rhythm make it possible to create new sound effects. PLAYING ADDRESS This bar graph provides a visual representation of track playback progress that enables you to see current playback position just like you can on an analog record by checking needle position. The length of the bar shows current position and a flashing bar provides advance notice of track end. SLOT IN Discs are loaded directly without opening doors or trays, making track selection that much faster. 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. MULTI READ Allows playback of CD-R, CD-RW discs (recorded in music CD or MP3 format). (Note that some discs may not play properly due to characteristics of the individual disc, recorder, or disc soiling and scratches.) MP3 DJ PLAY MP3 files recorded on CD-ROM can be played with DJ func- tions.

Handling Precautions Handling Precautions Installation location ¶ Placing and using the player for long periods on heat-generat- ing sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc. will af- fect product performance. Avoid placing the player on heat- generating sources. ¶ Install this player as far as possible away from tuners and TV sets. The player installed in close proximity to such equip- ment 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 player. ¶ 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 volume. ¶ Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform. Take adequate note of the following precautions when pre- paring a place for installation: Be sure the player, including its video, audio and power supply cords, does not touch vibrating materials. Any vibration other than that transmitted through the insulators may cause the disc to skip. Take special care when using the player while it is in- stalled in a carrying case. Do not place on or against vibrating materials! Leave space to allow for heat dissipation. Leave space to allow for heat dissipation. Leave space to allow for heat dissipation. Moving the unit I Never move the unit during playback! During playback, a disc rotates at very high speed; moving the player during playback may result in scratches or other damage to the disc. I When moving the unit is necessary Before moving the unit, remove any disc and disconnect the power. Malfunctions or damage may result if the unit is moved with a disc loaded. About the carrying case The upper surface of the jog dial is equipped with a touch-sensi- tive switch. When placing the player in its carrying case, avoid placing any pressure on the jog dial. Condensation When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, con- densation 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 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 neu- tral 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. About the lens cleaner The player ’ s 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 dam- age to the lens. Regarding data recorded on memory cards It is the users responsibility to make regular backups of important memory card data. Pioneer disclaims any responsibility for damage to or loss of memory card data, or other incidental damages arising from incompatibilities of the player and memory card, static electric- ity or other external causes. 5
