If the loop is divided with loop divide, the loop will return to its original length. ¶ During playback of MP3s, re-looping is possible only within the same folder. Fader start playback The supplied control cable may be used to connect the CONTROL connector of the CDJ-400 to the matching CONTROL connector on a Pioneer DJ mixer, thus making it possible to exit from cueing standby mode and start playback immediately by raising the channel fader on the DJ mixer. The cross fader may also be used to perform fade-in starts on the player as well. The fader may also be returned to its original position to return the player to the cueing point (back cueing.) (See P.9 for instructions on connecting the units.) Scratch play When jog mode is set to [VINYL], pressing the top surface of the jog dial and turning it causes playback to occur in proportion to the speed and direction of jog dial rotation. 1. Press the JOG MODE VINYL button so the button indica- tor lights. 2. During playback, press the top surface of the jog dial. ¶ The playback will stop and become playback corresponding to the rotation of the jog dial (as explained in step 3). 3. Rotate the jog dial in the direction and at the speed you wish playback to be performed. ¶ Playback will be heard in the direction and speed proportional to the jog dial rotation. 4. Remove hand from jog dial. ¶ Returns to original playback. Spin play During playback in VINYL mode, either press the surface of the jog dial or press the PLAY/PAUSE button (6) to pause playback, then rotate the jog dial quickly; playback will occur in the direction and at a speed proportional to the direction and speed of jog dial rotation, even if you then release your hand from the jog dial. Reverse play Press the DIRECTION REV button. The button indicator will light. Playback will begin in the reverse direction. ¶ Playback acceleration/deceleration produced with jog dial rotation will operate in reverse. 19
