BEFORE OPERATIONS

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Location

Install the player in a well-ventilated location where it

will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.

Do not install the player in a location which is exposed

to direct sunlight, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive

heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal com-

ponents. Installation of the player in a damp or dusty

environment may aiso result in a malfunction and can

be hazardous. Avoid installation near cookers etc., where

the player may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.

Installation guidelines

÷ Placing and using the compact disc player for long

periods on heat-generating sources such as amplifi-

ers or near spotlights, etc. will affect product perform-

ance. Avoid placing the player on heat-generating

sources.

÷ Install this compact disc player as far as possible away

from tuners and TV sets. A compact disc player in-

stalled in close proximity to such equipment may

cause noise or degradation of the picture.

÷ Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is

used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna

or turn off power to the compact disc player.

÷ When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g.,

near a speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the unit

away from the speaker or reduce the listening volume.

÷ Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform.

÷ Be sure the player, including its audio and power sup-

ply cords, does not touch vibrating materials. Any

cause of vibration other than the insulators may cause

the disc to skip. Take special care when using the

player while it is installed in a carrying case.

Do not place on or against

vibrating materials!

Cleaning the player

To clean the PLAYER wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry

cloth. For stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak

solution of neutral detergent (diluted in five to six parts

water), wring the cloth well, and wipe away the dirt. Use

a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile

liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage to

the unit.

CD lens cleaner

The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in nor-

mal use. If for some reason, the lens becomes soiled

and malfunctions, contact your nearest PIONEER author-

ized service center. Lens cleaners for CD players are com-

mercially 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 audio records. Be careful not to

allow discs to warp. Always store discs in their cases

vertically, avoiding locations with high heat, humid-

ity, or extremely low temperatures. Avoid leaving discs

in cars; the interior of a car in direct sunlight can be-

come extremely hot.

÷ Always read and abide by the precautionary notes

listed on disc labels.

Condensation

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previ-

ously cold surroundings or when the room temperature

rises sharply, condensation may form inside the unit and

impair its performance. In such cases, allow the unit to

stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature

gradually.

Cleaning and handling compact discs

÷ The presence of fingerprints or smudges on the sur-

face of the disc will not directly affect the recorded

signals, but, depending on the degree of contamina-

tion, the brightness of the light reflected from the sig-

nal surfaces may be reduced causing degradation of

sound quality. Always keep your discs clean by wip-

ing them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge

toward the outer edge.

÷ If a disc becomes very dirty, dampen a soft cloth with

water, (be sure to wring it out well) and wipe the away

dirt gently. Remove any water drops with another soft,

dry cloth.

÷ Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents

on discs. Never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or

other volatile solvents or damage to the disc surface

may result.

÷ With this player, use only those discs

which display the mark shown right

(Optical audio digital discs).

÷ When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces.

Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.

÷ Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the disc sur-

face. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.

÷ Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not

use damaged, cracked or warped discs.

Do not play a CD with a special shape

Do not play a CD having other shape than a circular disc,

such as heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may

occur.

BEFORE OPERATIONS

FEATURES

This component is a compact disc player designed for

use by DJs, combining the functions and operations re-

quired for use in disco clubs with the unique features of

the CD medium.

OIL-DAMPED SUSPENSION

Oil-damped floating suspension protects against vibra-

tions and impacts.

The player has been designed with an oil-damped floating suspension to

prevent sound skipping even when the unit is subjected to impacts dur-

ing use or floor-transmitted vibrations.

DIGITAL JOG BREAK

Built-in Digital Jog Break for Original Sound Creation

Each of three buttons provides a different remix assist function (JET, ZIP,

WAH). By selecting the desired function and controlling the jog dial to

match the track selection, you can easily create new remix sounds.

JOG DIAL

The large-diameter (100 mm) jog dial allows the user to

compensate music beat in the same way common to

analog turntables.

Merely rotating the dial with the fingertips allows you to find the precise

entry point for tracks, moving in increments of one-frame (1/75th sec-

ond).

In addition, this jog dial can be used to perform"Super-Fast Search" and

"Super-Fast Track Search," which operate faster than the conventional

search functions.

TEMPO CONTROL

Long-stroke (100 mm) high-precision slider control al-

lows exact control of track speed.

The digital display with a 0.1% unit readout provides simplified tempo

control with higher accuracy (at a variable range of ±10%).

¶ Two Tempo Control Ranges

The maximum adjustable range can be set using two variable ranges or

±10% (in 0.1% steps) and +10 to 16% (0 to +10% in 0.1% steps and 0 to

16% in 0.2% steps) to facilitate adjustment.

QUICK START

Pressing the button from the standby mode produces

instantaneous (0.01 second or less) music start.

Normal CD players require up to 0.3 seconds from the standby mode to

the production of sound. The quick start function virtually eliminates this

time lag making for smoother track-to-track splices.

MASTER TEMPO

Changes music tempo without changing pitch.

With analog systems, changing track speed results in a change in pitch.

Master Tempo Control takes advantage of the unique features of digital

medium enabling track speed to be changed with no deterioration of the

original pitch.

PLAYING ADDRESS

Analog bar graph gives direct indication elapsed and re-

maining playing time.

This bar graph provides a direct visual readout of the progress of the

track playback, comparable to the moving needle position on an analog

record. The length of the bar gives the user immediate knowledge of the

current location on the track, and the flashing bar display warns of the

impending end of track.

Forced ejection hole

Remove the

forced eject

pin from the

player's bot-

tom surface.

FORCED DISC EJECTION

If the eject button does not function or the disc cannot be removed, push-

ing the pin provided into the forced ejection hole on the front panel will

enable the disc to be removed.

When performing forced ejection, be sure to follow the precautions below.

1 Be sure to turn OFF the power of the CD player, and check that the disc

has stopped rotating. It takes about 30 seconds for the disc to stop

rotating after the power has been turned OFF.

If forced ejection is performed while the disc is rotating;

¶ As the disc will be ejected outside the CD player rotating, it may hit

your finger and cause injuries.

¶ As the disc will be rotating with the clamp unstable, it may be scratched.

For the above reasons, never attempt to eject the disc forcibly while it is

rotating.

2 Always use the pin provided (Do not use other objects). The acces-

sory forced eject pin can be found embedded in the bottom surface of

the player.

When the provided forced eject pin is inserted fully into the forced eject hole

on the front panel, the loaded disc is ejected about 5-10 mm from the load-

ing slot, making it possible to remove it by hand.

SLOT IN

The new disc loading slot mechanism makes it fast and

easy to play, change, and remove discs from the player.

Discs are inserted directly, without the need to open doors or trays, mak-

ing operation and track selection that much faster.

CUE

Full cueing functions.

¶ Back Cue Function

Pressing the CUE button after listening to sound from a

cue point returns the pickup to the cue point and al-

lows play to restart from there.

The back cue function allows you to return any number of times to a

preselected cue point by pressing a single button.

¶ Auto Cue Function

Automatic bypassing of the non-recorded part of track

introductions, cueing the track to a standby point im-

mediately before sound starts.

This function allows instantaneous start of playback when the PLAY but-

ton is pressed.

¶ Cue Point Sampler Function

Allows playing up to one minute of sound from a

preselected cue point.

This function is convenient for confirming a cue point or creating a track

sampler.

FADER START

Using the DJ Mixer's CROSS FADER slider to perform

quick start and back cue.

When the unit is connected to the DJ Mixer DJM-500 or DJM-300 (both

sold separately), the mixer's CROSS FADER slider can be operated to per-

form quick start and back cue.

RELAY PLAY

Connecting two CDJ-100S for Automatic Relay Play

When a track ends on one player, the other player is automatically re-

leased from standby mode to begin instant playback.
