Starting playback
1. Insert disc in the player.
¶ When inserting a disc, keep the label-side up, and insert only
one disc into the disc loading slot located in the front panel of
the unit. (☞P.14)
¶ If a CD-ROM with no MP3 file in the first session is inserted, the
display will read [NO TRACK] and the CD-ROM will not be
played.
¶ When a USB memory device is connected to the USB port,
press the SOURCE SELECT button to alternate between play-
back from disc (CD) or files on the USB memory.
2. When Auto Cue function is ON, press the PLAY/PAUSE
button (6).
¶ Wait for the display’s time display to appear before pressing the
button. The non-recorded portion at the beginning of the dis-
played track will be skipped and playback will begin instantly.
When the first track’s playback ends, the player will automati-
cally search for the beginning of the next track. The indicator
on the CUE button will light, the PLAY/PAUSE button (6) in-
dicator will flash and the player will then wait for the PLAY/
PAUSE button (6) to be pressed before beginning playback
of the next track.
When the Auto Cue function is turned off, playback will
begin automatically from the first track.
¶ When Auto Cue function is turned off, playback will continue
after the first track has been played, with all subsequent tracks
being played in sequence.
Resume function
When the same disc is inserted after being ejected once, the disc will
be restarted from the place immediately before the disc was ejected.
However, the Digital Jog Break and Scratch Jog Effect functions will
not be restored. If desired, the TRACK SEARCH button can be pressed
before playback begins to perform normal track search and playback.
To stop playback
1. Press the EJECT button.
¶ Playback will stop and the disc will be ejected.
¶ The CDJ-400 is not provided with a conventional stop button.
¶ In the event the EJECT button is pressed accidentally, immedi-
ately (before [EJECT] is displayed in the display) press the
PLAY/PAUSE button (6) to cancel the eject command; play-
back will then restart from the place immediately before the
EJECT button was pressed (during this time, sound output will
be temporarily interrupted).
To temporarily interrupt playback
Press the PLAY/PAUSE button (6) during playback.
¶ The PLAY/PAUSE button (6) indicator and the CUE button indi-
cator will flash and playback will be paused.
¶ When the PLAY/PAUSE button (6) is pressed again, the indica-
tor on the button will light and the playback will continue.
¶ In CDJ mode, broken playback sound will be output even during
pause. If you wish for no sound to be output, lower the output
level of the audio mixer.
¶ After setting the unit to pause, if no subsequent operation is per-
formed for 100 minutes, the disc rotation will automatically stop.
In this event, pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button (6) will cause
playback to resume.
¶ If the [END] display is left on for 100 minutes without further
player operations, the unit will stop, even if it is in the play mode.
