Playback of discs created on a computer or DVD recorder
Depending on the applications settings and the computers environment settings, it may not be possible to play discs created on a computer. Record discs in a format playable on the CDJ-2000. For details, contact your applications selling agent. It may not be possible to play discs created on a computer or DVD recorder due to the discs properties, scratches or dirt, or poor recording quality (dirt on the recording lens, etc.). See Handling discs on page 30 for instructions on handling discs.
! SDHC memory cards can be used with devices supporting SDHC memory cards. They cannot be used with devices that only support SD memory cards. ! When using SD memory cards with a capacity of 4 GB or greater, use SD memory cards on which the SDHC logo is indicated. ! SD memory cards are shipped from the manufacturer in the standard format indicated above. If a non-formatted SD memory card is loaded, [FORMAT SD] is displayed and the card cannot be used. ! It may not be possible to used card formatted on a computer, digital camera, etc. ! Pioneer does not guarantee that all SD memory cards will operate on the CDJ-2000.
Cautions on using SD memory cards
! SD memory cards are precision electronic devices. Handle them with care. Bending, dropping or subjecting SD memory cards to strong forces or shocks could break them. Also, do not use or store SD memory cards in environments where static electricity or electric noise tends to be produced. We recommend periodically making copies of valuable data. ! Please note that Pioneer will accept no responsibility whatsoever for loss of data recorded by the customer on SD memory cards or other direct or indirect problems resulting from connection to the CDJ-2000. ! After ejecting SD memory cards, store them in their dedicated case, etc. ! Depending on the SD memory card you are using, the desired performance may not be achieved.

Creating backup discs

When CD-R/-RW, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R DL (dual layer) and DVD+R DL (dual layer) discs are paused or left in the pause mode at cue points for long periods of time, it may become difficult to play the disc that point, due to the properties of the disc. When a specific point is looped repeatedly an extremely large number of times, it may become difficult to play that point. When playing valuable discs, we recommend making backup discs.

About USB devices

Music files (MP3/AAC/WAV/AIFF) recorded on USB devices can be played. Such data as disc identification information, cue points, loop points and hot cues can be recorded on USB devices.

Folder layers Max. number of folders Max. number of files Supported file systems ! Max. 8 levels (files in folders beyond the 8th level cannot be played) Unlimited (folders beyond the 10 000th folder within a single folder cannot be displayed) Unlimited (files beyond the 10 000th file within a single folder cannot be displayed) FAT, FAT32 and HFS+

About AAC files

! AAC is the abbreviation of Advanced Audio Coding, a basic format of audio compression technology used for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. ! The file format and extension of AAC data depends on the application used to create the data. ! In addition to AAC files encoded with iTunes and with the extension.m4a, files with the extensions.aac and.mp4 can also be played on the CDJ2000. However, copyright protected AAC files purchased for example at the iTunes Music Store cannot be played. Also, some files may not be playable, depending on the iTunes version used to encode them. ! The CDJ-2000 supports AAC files in the formats shown below.
Compatible formats MPEG-4 AAC LC Sampling frequencies of 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, and bit rates of 16 kpbs 320 kbps are supported. ID3 tag versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 are supported. Titles, album names, artist names, etc., are dis1 played here. JPEG images embedded in ID3 tags are displayed as the jacket photo.2 Meta tags (embedded tags) are supported. Titles, album names, artist names, etc., are displayed here.1 JPEG images embedded in tags are displayed as the jacket photo.2
The CDJ-2000 supports such USB mass storage class USB devices as external hard discs, portable flash memory drives and digital audio players. External DVD/CD drives and other optical disc devices cannot be used. When there are many folders or files, some time may be required for loading. If multiple partitions are set for the USB device, the device may not be recognized.
Cautions on using USB devices
! Some USB devices may not operate properly. Please note that Pioneer will accept no responsibility whatsoever for loss of data recorded on USB devices. ! USB hubs cannot be used. ! USB devices equipped with flash card readers may not operate. ! If a current above the allowable level is detected in the CDJ-2000s USB port, it could happen that a warning message is displayed, the power to the USB device is cut off and signal transfer is stopped. To restore normal operation, remove USB devices connected to the player, then press USB STOP. Avoid reusing the USB device for which the excess current was detected. If normal operation is not restored after performing the above operation (if signals are not transferred), try turning off the players power then turning it back on. ! Depending on the USB device you are using, the desired performance may not be achieved.
