Connections

Refer to the operating instructions for the component to be connected.

Connect the power cord after all the connections between devices have been completed.

Do not disconnect the LAN cable when music files and/

or information are being shared using PRO DJ LINK.

Basic style

! rekordbox music files and data can be transferred to the CDJ-2000 using USB devices (flash memory drives, hard discs, etc.), eliminating the need to bring a com-

puter into the DJ booth. Playlist, cue, loop and hot cue information set with rekordbox in advanced can be used for DJ play.

! The contents of media loaded in DJ players (tracks, cue point memories, WAVE information, etc.) can be shared. For details, see Using the PRO DJ LINK function on

page 13.

! Up to four units can be connected. A switching hub (commercially available) is required to connect three or more units. Use a switching hub of 100 Mbps or greater.

Note that some switching hubs may not operate normally.
