CD Lens Cleaner The player’s pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use. If for some rea- son, 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.
Storing Discs ÷ Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for conventional analog au- dio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp. Always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations with high heat, humidity, or extremely low temperatures.

BASIC OPERATION: DJ PLAYER OPERATION ÷ When the DJ Mixer’s CROSS FADER slider has moved all the way to the right side, the sound heard from the speaker will have changed from track A to track B, and the operation is complete. 7 Long mix play If the BPM rates match, mixing of tracks A and B will sound good even if the CROSS FADER slider is in the middle position.
The supplied control cord may be used to connect the CONTROL terminal on the CDJ-800 to a CONTROL terminal on a DJM-300, DJM-500, DJM-600 or DJM-3000 mixer, thus making it possible to exit from cueing standby mode and to start play- back immediately by raising the DJ mixer channel fader.
Cue and loop-point data recorded in one player can be copied to another player. 1. Use a mini plug cord to connect the DATA IN/OUT connectors of two CDJ-800 players (without loaded CDs). ÷ The supplied control cord can be used.
÷ The BPM value measured by the CDJ-800 may differ from the BPM value recorded on a CD or from our DJ mixer, but this difference is a result of differences in the BPM value measurement method; not a result of a fault with the player.
