Pioneer CDJ-900NXS: Connections

English

Connections

! Be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power outlet whenever making or changing 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.

! When using a LAN cable for connection, be sure to use either the LAN cable included with this product or an STP (shielded twisted pair) cable.

! Do not disconnect the LAN cable when music files and/or information are being shared using PRO DJ LINK.

Basic style

Playback on this unit is performed mainly using tracks prepared with rekordbox installed on a computer.

! For instructions on operating rekordbox, see rekordbox (Mac/Windows)’s operating instructions. The rekordbox (Mac/Windows) operating instruc-

tions can be viewed from the rekordbox (Mac/Windows) [Help] menu.

! Also, for DJ players and DJ mixers, up to four PRO DJ LINK-compatible players can be connected with LAN cables (CAT5e) using PRO DJ LINK

connections.

! A switching hub (commercially available) may be necessary, depending on the combination of models used. Use a switching hub of 100 Mbps or

greater. Some switching hubs may not operate properly.

A switching hub (commercially available) is necessary to connect to a mixer equipped with only one LAN port. For mixers with enough LAN ports for

all the DJ players and computers in the system, connect directly to the LAN ports on the mixer’s rear panel, without using a hub.

PRO DJ LINK (USB Export)

! rekordbox music files and data can be exchanged with this unit using a memory device (flash memory, hard disk, etc.), eliminating the need to take

a computer into the DJ booth. Such information as playlists, cues, loops and hot cues set in advance with rekordbox can be used for playback.

The CDJ-900NXS does not include a hot cue function, so hot cues cannot be used on the CDJ-900NXS.

Cautions

To use rekordbox’s music file management functions to their maximum, set the channel of the audio or coaxial digital input cable connected to the

mixer and the player number to the same number.

If the player number is different, change the [PLAYER No.] setting on the [UTILITY] screen.

= For instructions on changing the settings on the [UTILITY] screen, see this product’s operating instructions.

! When a storage device is connected to this unit, [PLAYER No.] is displayed in gray and cannot be changed. Disconnect the storage device or LAN

cable to turn the link off, then change the setting.
