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.)
MP3 DJ PLAY
MP3 files recorded on CD-ROM or USB memory device can be
played with DJ functions.
PC CONNECTION
Virtually all the button and slider functions of the CDJ-400 can
be output to external devices.
These signals can then be used to control Pioneer’s own DJ
software “DJS” as well as other computer software applica-
tions. In addition, music tracks played on the computer can be
output as audio from the CDJ-400.
