iRfEe Dear Customer: 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 getthe 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: e Start your volume control at a low setting. e Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: e Set the dial and leave it there. Taking a minute to do thisnow 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. Decibel Level Example 30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage to the unit. CD lens cleaner The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use. If for some reason, the lens becomes soiled and malfunctions, contact your nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use as some may cause damage to the lens. Storing discs e Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for conventional analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp. Always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations with high heat, humidity, or extremely low temperatures. Avoid leaving discs in cars; the interior of a car in direct sunlight can become extremely hot. e Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc labels. Condensation When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside the unit and impair its performance. In such cases, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

Read before use Cleaning and handling compact discs e The presence of fingerprints or smudges on the surface of the disc will not directly affect the recorded signals, but, depending on the degree of contamination, the brightness of the light reflected from the signal surfaces may be reduced causing degradation of sound quality. Always keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer edge e fa disc becomes very dirty, dampen a soft cloth with water, {be sure to wring it out well} and wipe the away dirt gently. Remove any water drops with another soft, dry cloth. e Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents or damage to the disc surface may result. e With this player, use only those discs COMPACT which display the mark shown right (Optical audio digital discs). DIGITAL AUDIO e When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole. e Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the disc surface. Also, do not scratch or damage the label e Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged, cracked or warped discs s& € Do not play a CD with a special shape Do not play a CD having other shape than a circular disc, such as heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may occur.

If the EJECT button fails to work and it becomes impossible to eject a disc, the disc may be ejected by inserting the disc ejection pin in the manual disc ejection hole located on the front panel of the player. Always be sure to observe the following points when manually ejecting discs. D Be sure to turn off the power to the CD player and wait for 1 minute or more before ejecting the disc. Manually ejecting a di immediately after the power to the unit has been turned off may result in one of the following problems from occurring, and care should accordingly be taken never to eject discs immediately after the power has been turned off. e The disc will still be spinning when it is ejected, thus resulting in cuts to the fingers or other forms of bodily injury. e The disc clamps will spin in an unstable state, thus resulting in scratching of discs. Be sure to use only the disc ejection pin included with your CMX-5000 (i.e., never use a paper clip or any other object). Inserting the disc ejection pin into the hole until it encounters resistance will cause the disc to be ejected some 5 to 10 millimeters from the insertion slot. The disc may then be removed by grasping it by hand and pulling. <DRB1254> 5

Read before use FEATURES The Pioneer CMX-5000 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. AUTO MIXING With a new sensor system developed exclusively by Pioneer, the CMX-5000 can measure beat timing and the number of BPM and can automatically remix tracks in a specified order. e Three playback modes There are three playback modes: DISC mode, TRACK mode, and PROGRAM mode. e Wide variety of different types of mixing There are four different types of mixing: cut-in mixing, echo mixing, zip mixing, and cross-fade mixing. e Shortened playback time feature which can be used to shorten track playback time CUEING A wide variety of cueing capabil e Back cueing The CMX-5000 comes with a CUE button which can be pressed after a track has begun to play to return to the cueing point and resume play from there. e Auto cueing Auto cueing may be used to automatically skip the silent portion at the head of each track and stand by just before the point where sound begins. The PLAY button may then be pressed to instantaneously start the track. Cueing points may be stored in memory to make it possible to play back from that point from anywhere within a disc at the touch of a single button. This feature is particularly useful for checking cueing points or for use as a sampler. FADER START DJ mixer fading can be used to quick starting or back cueing The CMX-5000 can be connected to a separately-sold DJM-500, DJM-600, or DJM-300 mixer, and the mixer fading can be used to perform quick starting or back cueing.

With a legato link conversion feature which makes it possible to replay sound of high frequencies of over 20 kHz which would be lost when recorded on CDs, the CMX-5000 eliminates the harshness found in high sound ranges on CDs to make it possible to produce sound near that of a true analog recording JOG DIAL Large 100-mm dial which may be used to correct out-of-synch beats in much the same way as with an analog turntable The jog dial may be lightiy rotated by hand to search for the point from which you wish to begin playback in 1/75-second frame units. This jog dial may also be used to make searching even faster than ordinary searching or track searching. MASTER TEMPO Master tempo feature makes it possible to change the tempo of a song without changing intervals While changing the tempo of a song on an analog player causes intervals to be changed as well, the CMX-5000 comes with a master tempo control feature that takes advantage of digital technology to make it possible to change the tempo of songs without changing intervals. MULTI READ The CMX-5000 comes with a multi-reading feature which makes it possible to play back both CD-R and CD-RW discs. (Note, however, that there may be times when it is impossible to play a disc due to special characteristics of the disc or the recorder used to burn the disc or because of dirt, soiling, or scratching of the disc.) PLAYING ADDRESS Bar graph display which makes it possible to gain an intuitive feel of the elapsed and remaining play time of a track in progress To make it possible to gain the same sort of intuitive feel of the elapsed and remaining play time as possible by looking at the position of a needle on an analog record, the CMX-5000 uses a bar graph display which makes it possible to gain an instantaneous visual feel of the elapsed and remaining play time of a track in progress. The length of a bar makes it possible to instantiy check the current position and the display also flashes to provide a warning when it nears the end of a track. QUICK START À quick start button which may be pressed during a pause to start playback virtually instantaneously (delay time of less than

While ordinary CD players require up to 0.8 seconds for playback to begin from a pause state, the CMX-5000 virtually eliminates this delay, thus making it possible to segue smoothly from one track to the next.

REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOPING

Seamless looping feature which makes it possible to set the loop starting point in real time Able to be used to easily specify and remove loop settings, this feature can be used to specify loop settings instantiy while a track is playing as soon as one recognizes the point from which one wishes to start the loop. It is also possible to create a loop from just before the end of a track to keep the track from ending. The CMX-5000 also comes with a new adjustment mode which makes it possible to change the end point of a loop with the press of a single button, thus making looping easier to use than ever. RELOOPING Relooping feature which makes it possible to return to predefined loops as many times as desired Pressing the RELOOP button after exiting from a loop causes the CD player to return to the currently defined loop and replay the loop again. And by learning how to turn relooping on and off in conjunction with the rhythm, the possibilities can be even further extended. SLOT INSERTION Slot mechanism which makes it possible to quickly insert, replace, and remove discs Discs may be inserted directly into the CD player without first éjecting a disc tray or opening a door, thus making it possible to quickly play the opening bars of tracks. TEMPO CONTROL High-performance 60-mm slide control which makes it easy to change the tempo of songs With a digital display which displays tempo controls in 0.1% units, the CMX-5000 makes it easier to more accurately control tempos. e Tempo control range The maximum variable range may be set to three levels at +6, 410, or 16% of the original range, thus making it easier than ever before to perform tempo control. W PROTECTION In addition to an oil damper float mechanism which greatly reduces the possibility of skipping even if the player is subjected to shocks or vibrations from the floor or from rough handling during playback, the CMX-5000 also includes a new electronic anti-skipping mechanism to provide two levels of protection against skipping <DRB1254> 7
