D3-4-2-1-7a_A_En
VENTILATION CAUTION
When installing this unit, make sure to leave space
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat
radiation (at least 5 cm at rear, and 3 cm at each
side).
WARNING
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the
product, and to protect it from overheating. To
prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be

POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power
cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a
short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a
piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cords should be routed such that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord
can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Location
Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not
be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
÷ Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to
direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive
heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal
components. Installation of the unit in a damp or dusty
environment may also result in a malfunction or accident.
(Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the unit may be
exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)
÷ When the unit is used inside a carrying case or DJ booth,
separate it from the walls or other equipment to improve
heat radiation.
CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING
Cleaning the Unit
÷ Use a polishing cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.
÷ When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth
dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times
with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry
cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.
÷ Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide sprays or other
chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the
surfaces.
S001_En
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you've just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how
you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association's Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
· Start your volume control at a low setting.
· Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
· Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we
want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will
provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association's
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of
sound levels is included for your protection.

FEATURES

CONFIRM ACCESSORIES
1 Designed for high sound quality
Analog signals are transmitted by the shortest circuitry and
converted to digital format at 96 kHz sampling rate via a 24-bit high
quality A/D converter. As a result, signals are passed to the digital
mixing stage in the best possible state. Mixing is performed with a
32-bit DSP, totally eliminating any loss in fidelity, while the ideal level
of filtering is introduced to produce optimum sound for DJ play.
These features are housed in a high-rigidity chassis with double-
shielded construction together with a high-performance power
section and other features of the high-fidelity technology also used in
the DJM-1000, thus guaranteeing the utmost in clear and powerful
club sounds.
2 Sound-color effects
1) Harmonic effect
Equipped with the industry's first "harmonic effect" function that
detects the track's key and provides optimum tuning for DJ play.
This new function allows smoother, more natural DJ mixing
compared to earlier models which allowed DJ play with track tempo
adjustment alone.
2) Modulation effect
"Filter," "crush," and "sweep" effects have been added to each
channel.
These allow a greater breadth to DJ play by permitting the user to
apply effects more intuitively.
Also, by combining these with "beat effects," some 50 kinds of effect
can be produced, giving the user a vast potential for remix and DJ
play.
3 Beat effects
The "beat effects" so popular on the DJM-600 are continued here.
Effects can be applied in linkage to the BPM (Beats Per Minute) count,
thus allowing the production of a variety of sounds.
Some of the effects include delay, echo, reverse delay, pan, trance,
filter, flanger, phaser, reverb, robot, chorus, roll, and reverse roll.
4 Digital IN/OUT
The digital input connectors support each of the sampling rates (44.1/
48/96 kHz), thus allowing the connection of digital components for a
DJ system with no sound degradation.
Likewise the digital output connectors support sampling rates 96 kHz/
24-bit and 48 kHz/24-bit, making the unit even more convenient for
cutting studio tracks or on other occasions when high sound fidelity
is required. (Only linear PCM is supported.)
5 MIDI OUT
Virtually all the dial and switch information of the DJM-800 can be
output in MIDI signal format, allowing external components to be
controlled via MIDI.
6 Other functions
¶ A control cable can be used to connect the unit to a Pioneer DJ CD
player, thus allowing playback to be linked to operation of the
fader ("fader start play").
¶ Built-in "3-band equalizer" supports level control within the range
of +6 dB to ­26 dB in each bandwidth.
¶ "Cross fader assignment" function allows each channel's input to
be assigned flexibly to a cross fader.
¶ "Talk over" function automatically lowers track volume during
microphone input.
¶ "Fader curve adjustment" function allows modification of the
cross fader and channel fader curves.
¶ "Microphone cut" function mutes microphone output to the
booth monitor, thus preventing uncomfortable feedback.
¶ By replacing the channel fader section with the optional rotary
volume kit DJC-800RV, the slider control can be replayed with a
rotary type control.
