Read before use FEATURES The Pioneer CMX-3000 is a twin CD player designed for use by DJs which provides not only the features and performance required in a discotheque sound system in a CD player but also provides new features only possible in a CD player. JOG DIAL The large 110 mm diameter Jog dial enables better handling than an analog turntable. ÷ SCRATCH PLAY When the jog dial is rotated in the SCRATCH mode, playback will occur in response to the direction and speed of jog-dial rotation. ÷ PITCH BEND This function changes the music tempo depending on direction of Jog dial rotation and speed of movement. ÷ FRAME SEARCH Moves the disc from pause position in frame increments (1/75 sec) when the Jog dial is rotated in pause mode. ÷ SUPER FAST SEARCH You can search the disc faster than normal search or track search by holding down a SEARCH button or TRACK SEARCH button as you turn the Jog dial. WAVE DISPLAY This display makes it possible to find the breakpoint between tracks in advance and use it as mix point or end point in the same way as you can on an analog record by checking the position of the needle in the groove. BPM SYNCHRO HOT CUE Each of the players can be preset with up to three Hot Cue points (1, 2, 3), thus allowing you so begin play instantly from any of the points. Also, by setting the BPM with either auto or TAP button, that BPM value can be used for HOT CUE synchro playback. TEMPO CONTROL 60 mm high-precision slider coupled with a 0.05% increment digital display (within a ±6% range) allows exact control of speed to make tempo adjustments easy and accurate. ÷ TEMPO CONTROL RANGE The maximum variable range can be set to four variable ranges: ±6%, ±10%, ±16% and WIDE to facilitate adjustment. ÷ MASTER TEMPO Changes music tempo without changing pitch. CUE ÷ BACK CUE After storing the Cue point in memory, press the CUE button while playing the unit to go back to the Cue point and start over. ÷ AUTO CUE Auto cue automatically locates the song's start point even if it differs from the track's frame, allowing the player to start instantly at a press of the PLAY/PAUSE (38) button. ÷ CUE POINT SAMPLER The sound from the memorized cue point can be reproduced by one touch, which can be used as the start point check and the sampler. REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOP This function simplifies setting and releasing loops. This function lets you set a loop while you are playing a track. A loop can also be set at the end of the track so that the track does not stop. In addition, an ADJUST mode has been added to enable one-touch adjustment to the Loop-out point and facilitate loop operation. RELOOP Allows you to replay a loop any number of times. Press the RELOOP button after releasing loop play to return to the loop start point. Clever use of on and off in combination with the rhythm make it possible to create new sound effects. LOOP PLAY MEMORY Loop information can be programmed in the HOT CUE button, so the desired loop play begins instantly when accessed. EMERGENCY LOOP When this function is used to designate a loop in-point, the loop outpoint is automatically set and loop play begins. PLAYING ADDRESS This bar graph provides a visual representation of track playback progress that enables you to see current playback position just like you can on an analog record by checking needle position. The length of the bar shows current position and a flashing bar provides advance notice of track end. SLOT IN Discs are loaded directly without opening doors or trays, making track selection that much faster. FADER START QUICK START and BACK CUE can be performed using the fader function on DJ mixers DJM-500, DJM-600 and DJM-300 (all mixers are sold separately). MULTI READ CD-R, CD-RW discs can be replayed. (However, due to certain special characteristics of some discs, recorders as well as dirty or damaged discs, some discs may not replay properly.) CD TEXT CD TEXT informations are displayed if the CD includes the CD TEXT information. 7
