Cautions on using USB devices

! Some USB devices may not operate properly when connected to this

unit. Pioneer DJ will accept no responsibility whatsoever for the loss

of data stored by the user on USB devices, or other direct or indirect

problems arising due to the connection of USB devices to this unit.

! When a current above the permissible level is passed through the

USB device insertion slot of this unit, the USB indicator will flash.

Communication may be stopped by stopping the power supply to

the USB device. To return to normal conditions, please remove the

USB device connected to this unit. Avoid re-using the USB device

for which an excess current has been detected. If the unit does not

return to the normal condition (no communication) after you perform

the above-mentioned procedure, turn the power of this unit off and

then on again.

! If multiple partitions are set on the USB device, only the first partition

can be used. (When rekordbox library information is present, the

partition containing the rekordbox library information has priority.)

! USB devices equipped with flash card readers may not operate when

connected to this unit.

! Depending on the USB device you are using, the desired perfor-

mance may not be achieved.

files. Files in both bit rates can be played with this unit, but the searching

speed is slower for VBR files than for CBR files. To prioritize operability,

we recommend recording files in CBR.

of audio compression technology used for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.

! The file format and extension of AAC data depend on the application

used to create the data.

as those purchased from the iTunes Store cannot be played. Some

files cannot be played with this unit depending on the version of

iTunes used to encode the files.

ID3 tags (v1, v1.1, v2.2.0, v2.3.0, and v2.4.0) or meta tags.

bilities depending on the power-saving setting, etc. on the computer.

Confirm that the computer meets the conditions to provide constant

high-performance (for example, connecting the computer to a power

outlet to maintain a stable power supply) especially when using

rekordbox on a laptop.

 PRO DJ LINK (LINK Export)

! When a computer on which rekordbox is installed is taken into the DJ booth and connected to this unit using a USB cable, tracks in rekord-

box can be selected and played. You can use the information such as playlists, cues, loops and hot cues that have been set with rekordbox for

performances.

! When a mobile device on which rekordbox (iOS/Android) is installed is connected using a USB cable, tracks in rekordbox can be selected and

played. This makes it possible to use the information such as playlists, cues, loops and hot cues that have been set ahead of time with rekordbox for

performances.

! Use your own cable when connecting this product to an iPhone or iPod.

! The driver software needs to be installed before connecting a computer on which rekordbox (Mac/Windows) is installed via a USB (LINK Export)

connection. For details, see USB (LINK Export) connections driver software for rekordbox (Mac/Windows) on page 7 .
