Supplied accessories

In addition to this manual, this product includes the following items: CD-DJ1 unit... 1 AC adapter (PS-PS5).. 1 Please use caution when removing the main unit from the package to avoid damage or injury. Please keep the box and packaging materials for future transportation. If any of the accessory items are missing, please contact your TASCAM supplier.
Precautions and notes for placement and use
Please use the CD-DJ1 only within its operating temperature range of 5C to 35C (41F to 95F). Please avoid use or storage in dusty or humid environments because these conditions can cause malfunction. To maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following notes, precautions and environmental conditions:

Avoid placing this unit on top of any heat-generating electrical device such as a power amplifier.
Always use the supplied AC adapter (PS-PS5)
with the standard home electrical power outlet. Use of other AC adapters may damage the CD-DJ1.
Use the unit on a table or rack that is level and

sturdy.

Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and
humidity and avoid mechanical shocks.
Wipe dirt from the unit with a dry cloth. Never
use thinner, benzene or other solvents because they may cause acrylic parts and coated surfaces to dissolve, labels to be eroded or other damage.
Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields
(TV sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent. As the unit may become hot during operation,
always leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do not operate this unit in a confined space such as a bookcase, and do not put anything on top of the unit.

Beware of condensation

If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible.

Power supply

Attach the DC plug of the supplied AC adapter to the DC IN jack on the rear panel and connect the power plug to a standard electrical power outlet. Pressing the POWER switch on the rear panel lights up the display. After a brief start-up screen, the home screen will appear.

Sleep function

If playback is paused and the unit has not been used for 30 minutes, the unit will automatically go to sleep, stopping the CD mechanism and turning off the backlight.
Handling of compact discs
The CD-DJ1 has been designed for the playback of CD-DA (standard audio) format discs and MP3 files recorded on the discs using the ISO9660 format: In addition to ordinary 12cm (5-inch) and 8cm (3-inch) CDs, it can also play properly recorded CD-Rs and CD-RWs.
Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places
of high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warping could result.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side
of the disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint pen.
Always place the compact discs in the trays with
their label facing upward.
Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining
from tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the
center of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
Do not use cracked discs. Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using noncircular promotional, etc. discs.

Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the
non- label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping, so keep discs clean and store them in their cases when not being played. To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge.
The CD-DJ1 cannot play unfinalized CD-R/RWs. The unit may not be able to play some CD-Rs and
CD-RWs due to disc quality or recording conditions.
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection
system, have been released form several record companies in an attempt to protect the copyright. Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they may not be playable on the CD-DJ1.
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,
benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs to become unplayable.
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to skip.

Flash Start

Use the HOT CUE keys for instant playback from their cue points when the Flash Start function is on. Turn the Flash Start function on and off with the Setup menu FLASH item (the default setting is on). When Flash Start is on, the FLS indicator appears on the display.

Loop playback

Use this function to loop playback of any section of an audio CD between set IN and OUT points. The following procedure explains how to set and play a loop section with starting (IN) and ending (OUT) points.

Setting the IN point

Press the IN key while the CD is playing or paused. The IN key will light up and the OUT key will flash.

Setting the OUT point

Press the OUT key while the CD is playing or paused. The IN, OUT and RE-LOOP/EXIT keys will all light up. Loop playback will start immediately if the OUT point is set while the CD is playing. Setting the OUT point while the CD is paused moves the pause position to the IN point. Push the PLAY/ PAUSE key to begin loop playback. During loop playback, as soon as the OUT point is reached, playback restarts instantly from the IN point.
The OUT point can only be set at a time following the IN point. The OUT point can be set to create a loop that spans more than one track.

Canceling loop playback

Press the RE-LOOP/EXIT key during loop playback to exit the loop mode and resume normal playback. The key's light will turn off, but the loop IN and OUT points will not be cancelled. Using a SKIP, CUE or HOT CUE key to set the current location outside the looped section will also exit loop playback mode. The RE-LOOP/EXIT key light will turn off, but the loop points will not be canceled.

Re-loop playback

Press the RE-LOOP/EXIT key to restart loop playback immediately when it is off but the IN and OUT points are still set. Press the IN key for immediate playback from the IN point when it is set (like a HOT CUE key).

Canceling loop points

Cancel the loop (IN and OUT) points with either of the following actions. Press the RE-LOOP/EXIT key while holding down the SHIFT key. Alternatively, open the CD cover. The IN and OUT key lights will turn off when the loop points are canceled.

Changing the OUT point

Press the OUT key during loop playback to change the OUT point and restart loop playback from the IN point. The new OUT point is determined according to the Setup menu OUT KEY setting.
The new OUT point is set to a point halfway between the IN point and the OUT point.
The OUT point is set at the location where the OUT key is pressed during playback.

Adjusting the OUT point

Press the OUT key while holding down the SHIFT key to enable use of the JOG dial for editing the OUT point during loop playback. Turn the dial clockwise to lengthen the loop (or counterclockwise to shorten it) during playback until the desired OUT point is reached. Press the OUT key at the desired moment to set the new OUT point and exit OUT point adjustment mode. The adjustment will affect the loop playback in real time.

Restoring the OUT point

Press the IN key while holding down the SHIFT key during or after adjustment of the OUT point to restore the OUT point to its pre-adjustment position (the display shows OUT RET).

Tempo control

Use the tempo slider to control playback speed. The display shows the current tempo adjustment. Push the slider in the direction to slow the tempo, and pull it in the + direction to speed it up.

Setting the tempo range

Use the TEMPO key to change the tempo slider range. Press the TEMPO key to cycle through the following tempo ranges. 8% (default setting), 16%, 32%, 100% The new range setting becomes effective after it flashes on the display for a few seconds.
When an attached TT-M1 is turned on, the tempo slider and TEMPO key do not function. Playback tempo value is set by the TT-M1 (see "TT-M1 use" on page 22).

Key Original function
The Key Original function allows you to change the tempo without changing the pitch (key).
The Key Original function can also be turned on and off in the Setup menu under the KEY ORIG item.
The Key Original function cannot be used when the tempo range is set to 100%. Setting the tempo range to 100% automatically turns off the Key Original function.
The Key Original function cannot be used when the TT-M1 is on. Turning on the TT-M1 automatically turns off the Key Original function. Turn the Key Original function on and off by pressing the TEMPO/KEY ORIG key while holding down the SHIFT key.
The K.ORIG indicator appears on the display when the Key Original function is on.

Pitch bend function

Pitch bend temporarily speeds up or slows down the playback speed and changes the playback pitch (if the Key Original function is turned off). Use the Setup menu SRCH KEY item to set whether the pair of SEARCH keys or the JOG dial controls pitch bend. The Maximum pitch bend is 16%.

When set to BEND:

Use the SEARCH keys for pitch bend and the JOG dial for searching. Press and hold either key during playback to change the tempo. Release the key to restore the original playback tempo.
When the Key Original function is on, bending the pitch will change the tempo, but not the pitch.

When set to SRCH:

The SEARCH keys are used for searching. Use the JOG dial for pitch bend. Turn it clockwise to speed up and counterclockwise to slow down playback. Stop turning to return to the original speed (as adjusted by the tempo slider).
When set to SRCH, the SEARCH keys function as normal search keys (see "Track search" on page 15). However, pressing a SEARCH key while holding down the SHIFT key will cause pitch bend.

MP3 file folders and tracks
MP3 files recorded onto a CD are handled the same way as files are handled in an ordinary PC, with some MP3 files held within a folder. In addition, several folders can be combined into one folder. This results in multiple layers of folders and files.
NOTE Each MP3 file is handled as a track.
Folders that do not contain MP3 files directly under them cannot be selected for playback. For example, in the diagram here, under folder A are folder B and folder C. If there are MP3 files in both folders B and C, folder A cannot be selected for playback, but folder B and C can be selected for playback.
MP3 files are played in the following order.
Disc Folder A Folder B MP3 files
The CD-DJ1 can play back MP3 files recorded in formats that conform to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, and the Joliet extensions. CDs containing MP3s to be played by the CD-DJ1 have their contents must be within the following maximum limits: Number of folders: 255 Number of hierarchical structures: 8 Number of MP3 files: 999 Title length of MP3 files and folders: 255
