BEFORE OPERATING (FEATURES)
FEATURES
Designed for professional use by DJs, the CDJ-200 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.
DIGITAL JOG BREAK
Equipped with Digital Jog Break for original sound effects.
Individual remix assist functions [JET], [ZIP] 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.
JOG DIAL
A large 100 mm diameter jog dial enables corrections to un-
even beats with the feeling of an analog turntable.
■ PITCH BEND
This function changes the music tempo depending on the di-
rection and speed the jog dial is rotated.
■ FRAME SEARCH
Moves the pause position in frame units (1/75 sec) when the
jog dial is rotated in the pause mode.
■ 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.
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.
■ TEMPO CONTROL RANGE
The maximum variable range can be set to three variable
ranges; ±6 %, ±10 %, ±16 %, to provide easier operation envi-
ronment.
■ MASTER TEMPO
Maintains the same pitch of sound while changing the music
tempo.
CUE
■ BACK CUE
After storing cue points in memory, press the CUE button
while playing a track to return and start from the stored cue
point.
■ AUTO CUE
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.
■ CUE POINT SAMPLER
Playback can be started at one touch from a stored cue point,
convenient for confirming start points and as sampler.
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 adjust-
ments to the loop-out point, thereby facilitating the loop op-
eration.
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.
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.
SLOT IN
The disc can be inserted without the opening of trays and
doors, making possible quick track selection.
FADER START
By connecting this unit to DJ mixer DJM-500, DJM-600, DJM-
300, DJM-3000, DJM-909, or DJM-707, QUICK START and
BACK CUE functions can be performed by using the mixer’s
fader function.
RELAY PLAY
Two CDJ-200 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.
OIL DAMPER FLOAT
OIL DAMPER FLOAT construction helps resist shakes and im-
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.)
CD TEXT
Displays CD TEXT on CD TEXT-supported discs.
