Pioneer CDJ200, DJ CD player
The Pioneer CDJ200 CD player sets a new standard in affordable CD decks.
This clever tabletop CD player combines key elements of Pioneer's market-proven professional CDJ players with a host of innovative features such as full function MP3 playback, hot loop, beat loop and the unique one button loop cutter, for creating loops within loops until the beat has been cut to infinity.
The design is both visually stunning and DJ friendly - the unit is robust, compact and portable - and a truly affordable price, making it the ideal choice for serious home DJs, bars and other installations where space and budget is limited.
Since the CDJ200 is fully MP3 compatible, aspiring DJs can now include the very latest downloaded tracks in their sets, without having to convert the audio from other formats.
The MP3 functionality also allows DJs to locate tracks more quickly (via folder search) and to see the name of the disc, artist and song on the unit's bright dot-matrix display window.
This screen also has a bar graph showing the elapsed and remaining playing time of a track, plus an auto BPM counter, giving DJs the realtime information they need to create better mixes more quickly.
The unit has a tempo read out too, as well as a separate master tempo button with 3 settings for locking the pitch of a track as it's sped up or slowed down.
The unit uses an electric blue light at strategic locations to give the DJ constant feedback on the status of the CD and the effects in use. The light above the CD-slot, for example, shows that there's no disc onboard and also guides the DJ to the user-friendly quick-load slot. With the disc inserted, that light goes off and a blue illuminated ring appears around the edge of the jog wheel - indicating that a CD is loaded and ready for playback.
The jog wheel can be used to speed up or slow down the music, to fine-tune cue points manually, or to control the mix with the help of another proven feature - the digital jog break.
This has three effect buttons (jet, zip, wah) for creating original sounds as the DJ manipulates the jog wheel.
When the digital jog break is on, the blue ring flashes quickly. Once the HOLD/RESET button is used, the flashing slows down. With the effects off, the continuous blue light returns.
The CDJ200 also has a unique resume function that takes effect if a CD is ejected accidentally. Once the DJ re-inserts the disc, it automatically starts playing from exactly the point where it stopped.
The unit has a digital out socket too, so that all of the digital features available in DJ mode can be carried over to a connected digital environment, as well as a headphone jack (with volume control) which allows the DJ to monitor a CD without connecting the CDJ-200 to a mixer or external amplifier.
