Features

This player has been designed to provide CD/DVD playback features and functions demanded by professional disco club DJs and VJs. It is a professional DVD player equipped with operational ease, sound quality, and functions superior to those found on the professional analog players conventionally used by DJs.

JOG DIAL

Large-diameter (206 mm) dial for operating sensitivity exceeding that possible with conventional analog turntables

PITCH BEND

Changes playback pitch in proportion to the direction and speed of jog dial rotation.

- SCRONTH PLAY

In VINYL mode, when the top surface of the jog dial is touched, playback stops and starts in response to the direction and speed of jog dial rotation. The user can also adjust the sensitivity of start-up when the jog dial is touched and released, making possible new DJ techniques.

When the jog dial is rotated during pause, the pause position is changed in units of individual frames (1/75th second).

When the jog dial is rotated while depressing the manual search button, track search button or title search button, the search will be performed more quickly than the conventional search or track search (or title/chapter search) functions.

- HYPER JOG MODE

In VINYL mode, when the jog dial is rotated, the amount of sound or image change corresponding to the dial rotation doubles. Performance possibilities are enhanced by employing this function together with the ordinary mode.

ON JOG DISPLAY

The center of the jog dial is furnished with a display providing variety of information, including disc status, cue point position, audio/video memory status, jog touch detect display, and VINYL mode.

WAVE DISPLAY

With an analog record, the user could look for the breaks in the grooves to use as mix points and end points. In the same way, the WAVE display reveals track breaks in advance, allowing the DJ to use them as break points.

CUE/LOOP MEMORY

Cue points and loop points can be recorded for each disc on the external SD memory cards, and called up later as desired.

HOT CUE

Up to 3 hot cue points (A, B, C) can be recorded in advance and called up later for instant playback from those points. Hot cues can be used not only to record normal cue points, but also for loop point playback.

REVERSE PLAY

By pulling the DIRECTION select switch toward the front (REV position), tracks can be played in reverse.

TEMPO CONTROL

High-performance 100mm slider for precise adjustment of track speed

Using a digital display with 0.02% increments (within control range ± 6% ), the user can accu rately match the tempos of playback tracks.

TEMPO CONTROL RANGE

Four tempo control ranges are provided: ± 6% , ± 10% , ± 16% , and WIDE.

TEMPO CONTROL RESET

This control allows tempo to be reset to the default 0 % status instantly, regardless of the slider position.

- MASTER TEMPO

Allows pitch to be maintained while changing track speed.

CUE

- BACK CUE

By previously recording a cue point, it can be returned to instantly by pressing the CUE button during subsequent playback, thus starting playback again from that point.

- AUTO CUE

This function cues a track by skipping the non-recorded portion before the beginning of music, setting the player to standby mode immediately before music begins. In this way, playback can begin instantly when the PLAY/PAUSE (▶/II) button is pressed.

CUE POINT SAMPLER

This function allows one-touch playback from the cue points stored in memory, a convenient function for confirming cue points and sampling the points stored.

REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOP

Allows simple setting and canceling of playback loops. Loops can be set quickly during track playback; also allows quick setting of a loop immediately before the end of a track, thus preventing the track from ending. Finally, an ADJUST mode has been added to allow one-touch changing of loop-out points.

RELOOP

Once set, a loop can be returned to any number of times

After canceling loop play, pressing the RELOOP/EXIT button causes playback to return and begin again from the previously set loop. Turning the function ON/OFF in time with the track's rhythm allows a variety of new performance possibilities.

EMERGENCY LOOP

Pressing the EMERGENCY LOOP button causes the current position (the point where the button was pressed) to act as a loop-in point, with a loop-out point being set automatically for loop play.

PLAYING ADDRESS

With an analog record, the position of the stylus gives the operator an immediate grasp of the progress of playback. In the same way, the play address display shows a bar graph that provides an immediate visual grasp of the track's playback progress. The current position in the track is indicated by the length of the bar; in addition, the bar flashes to warn that playback is approaching the end of the track.

FADER START

When the player is connected to a DJ mixer (DJM-600, DJM-300, DJM-909, DJM-707, DJM-500 or DJM-3000 (all sold separately)), the mixer's fader operation can be used to perform quick start and back cue.

MULTI READ

Discs readable on this player include CD-R/CD-RW (recorded in audio CD format), and DVD-R/DVD-RW (recorded in video format). However, since this player uses high-speed data read for the purposes of its DJ operations, some discs may not play back properly depending on the characteristics of the disc and the recorder, as well as a result of dirt or scratches on the disc, etc.

PREVIEW MONITOR OUTPUT

This is an auxiliary video output that produces an overlay display of operating information on the main video output screen, and provides the DJ with a visual aids when operating the unit. During use of DVD play, cue points, loop points, and hot cue points are displayed on a small screen overlain on the main output, making possible interactive DJ operations.

PROGRESSIVE OUTPUT

This player is equipped with a progressive scan output connector which supports video signals with 525p frequency (component output connector). When connected to a television monitor equipped with a component video input connector for progressive scan (525p), high definition images will be output, with twice the data produced by conventional interlaced scan televisions.

LEGATO PRO

The player is equipped with a digital filter that uses up-sampling technology (DVD: 48 kHz → 192 kHz; CD: 44.1 kHz → 176.4 kHz) for reproducing audio information lost in some disc (DVD, CD) formats.

HI-BIT

This function extends the bit length of audio data. By transforming 16-bit or 20-bit data to 24-bits, even minute signals can be reproduced with smooth, finely defined sound.

About DVD playback in DJ mode

Since various special operations are supported in DJ mode, certain limitations are placed on normal playback functions such as SCAN. For this reason, operations which are possible in the NORMAL mode may be limited or disabled when attempted in DJ mode. In short, if you wish to use all ordinary DVD play functions, use the NORMAL mode.

Limited or disabled functions (when in DJ mode)

  • Cannot play sub-pictures (can't display subtitles or onscreen buttons)
  • Cannot use password input command (when using interactive commands, the same operations may not produce the same results as when in NORMAL mode).
  • May only play midway through titles.
  • May skip certain parts of titles.
  • Playback may be temporarily interrupted when switching audio functions.
  • Playback may be temporarily interrupted when changing viewing angle.
  • Cannot use pan-and-scan function.
  • The title itself may disallow use of DJ operations. In this case, DJ operations are prohibited, and the same operations are performed as when in NORMAL mode.

Handling Precautions

Installation location

  • Placing and using the player for long periods on heat-generating sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc. will affect product performance. Avoid placing the player on heat-generating sources.
  • Install this player as far as possible away from tuners and TV sets. The player installed in close proximity to such equipment may cause noise or degradation of the picture.

Noise may be noticeable when an indoor antenna is used. In such cases, make use of an outdoor antenna or turn off power to the player.

  • When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g., near a speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the unit away from the speaker or reduce the listening volume.
  • Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform.

Take adequate note of the following precautions when preparing a place for installation:

Be sure the player, including its video, audio and power supply cords, does not touch vibrating materials. Any vibration other than that transmitted through the insulators may cause the disc to skip. Take special care when using the player while it is installed in a carrying case.

Moving the unit

■ Never move the unit during playback!

During playback, a disc rotates at very high speed; moving the player during playback may result in scratches or other damage to the disc.

■ When moving the unit is necessary

Before moving the unit, remove any disc and disconnect the power. Malfunctions or damage may result if the unit is moved with a disc loaded.

About the carrying case

The upper surface of the jog dial is equipped with a touch-sensitive switch. When placing the player in its carrying case, avoid placing any pressure on the jog dial.

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.

Cleaning the player

To clean the player wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well, and wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage the unit.

About the 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 DVD (CD) players are commercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use as some may cause damage to the lens.

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Regarding data recorded on memory cards

It is the users responsibility to make regular backups of important memory card data. Pioneer disclaims any responsibility for damage to or loss of memory card data, or other incidental damages arising from incompatibilities of the player and memory card, static electricity or other external causes.

Neither Pioneer nor its dealers are responsible for the use made of the DVJ-X1. The user must ensure it has all relevant licences and consents in place (whether for copyright/public performance, performers rights, moral rights or otherwise) to allow the lawful use of the DVJ-X1.

This is likely to include licences from organisations administering performance rights in audio or video recordings or consents from any other relevant rights holders.

Disc composition

Digital Versatile Discs (DVD)

DVD video, DVD-R or DVD-RW discs are recorded in units called "titles," with each title being divided into one or more sub-divisions called "chapters." Further, some, discs are furnished with menus for navigating the disc, but menus may not be included with all titles. In the case of commercial films, a single movie normally corresponds to a single title. On so-called "karaoke" discs, each song track composes a single title, although there are some exceptions to this rule, so care is needed when using search functions.

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - Digital Versatile Discs (DVD) - 1

Compact Discs (CD)

In the case of compact discs, each disc is divided into units of individual tracks (normally, each song is contained on a single track). In addition, tracks may have sub-divisions called index numbers.

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - Compact Discs (CD) - 1

Handling discs

  • When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole.

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - Handling discs - 1

  • Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the disc surface. Also, do not scratch or damage the label.

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - Handling discs - 2

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - ■ Do not play a disc with a special shape - 2

Storing discs

  • 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.
  • Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc labels.

■ Cleaning discs

  • Always keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer edge.
  • When cleaning discs, the use of a commercial CD/DVD cleaning kit is recommended.

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - ■ Cleaning discs - 1

  • If a 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.
  • 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.

Regarding DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW discs

  • Due to the unique construction of DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs, leaving them for extended periods of time in the pause (or cue standby) mode at a single point may result in the discs' becoming difficult to play at that place. The same symptom may also occur if the loop function is used to play back a single point on the disc excessively.

As a result, users are advised to construct backup archive discs when playing discs containing important data.

Playing images from the DVJ-X1 on a television set

The example shown here is an illustration meant to depict the general display contents, and may differ somewhat from actual monitor appearance.

This unit is equipped with both main video output (VIDEO OUT) and preview video output (PREVIEW OUT) connectors.

In NORMAL mode, both Video OUT and Preview OUT produce the same video signals.

In DJ mode, the outputs of the two connectors are different, as indicated below. Even in DJ mode, however, if a non-supported DJ operation is attempted, the outputs will be the same as in NORMAL mode.

VIDEO OUT

This outputs only the DVD playback image; it should be connected to the main publicly viewed monitor.

PREVIEW OUT

This outputs the images used by the DJ when operating the unit, and includes various additional guide messages and menus.

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - PREVIEW OUT - 1
Reading: Recall hot cue, or cue point

Connections

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

1. Connections to DJ mixer (DJM-600, DJM-500, DJM-300, DJM-909, DJM-707 or DJM-3000) (audio output and control connector)

Using the accessory audio cable, connect the white plug to the L (left) connector, and connect the red plug to the R (right) connector. By connecting the accessory control cord, the player can be controlled from the mixer, allowing fader start play and back cue operations.

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - Connections to DJ mixer (DJM-600, DJM-500, DJM-300, DJM-909, DJM-707 or DJM-3000) (audio output and control connector) - 1
Connection example DJM-600:

  • Connect similarly to the above when using DJM-300 or DJM-500.
  • When connecting DJM-909 or DJM-707, use the accessory audio cable to connect CH-1 CD to PLAYER A, and the CH-2 CD to PLAYER B.
  • In the case of the DJM-3000, connect A PLAYER to LINE 1 of CH-1, connect B PLAYER to LINE 3 of CH-2.
  • When connecting this player to other audio mixers, the player's AUDIO OUT connector should be connected to the mixer's LINE IN connector or AUX connector (★ Do not connect the player to a mixer's PHONO connector, since sound will be distorted and proper playback will not result).

2. Control cord connection for relay play

By using the accessory control cord to connect two DJ players, automatic relay play can be performed between the two units. (P.38)

Setting the mode select switch (MODE NORMAL/DJ) (rear panel)

When the unit is used normally as a DJ DVD player, the mode select switch should be set to the "DJ" position. If the switch position is changed during playback, playback will stop and after the stop, playback will begin from the beginning of the disc.

When set to DJ (DJ mode):

  • During DVD playback, no signals will be output from the digital output connector. In addition, subtitles and certain other functions and operations are not supported.
  • During CD playback, the digital connector outputs only audio data without sub-codes. However, the mode is fixed at 44.1kHz , with the result that some limitations may be experienced in recording or other functions when CD recorders and certain other components are connected. For details, consult the Operating Instructions for the component to be connected.
  • Some functions may be limited or disabled during DVD playback ( P.3, "About DVD playback in DJ mode").

When set to NORMAL (NORMAL mode):

  • The digital connector outputs digital data including sub-codes, but the player's DJ functions are disabled (P.7).
  • When a non-supported operation is attempted, the display shows the message "NORMAL".
  • When power is turned ON, if the mode select switch is set to "NORMAL", the display shows the message "NORMAL"
  • If you wish to use all ordinary functions during DVD playback, set the unit to NORMAL mode (P.3, "About DVD playback in DJ mode").

Note:

Most DJ functions (cue, loop, reloop, tempo adjust, hot cue, jog dial, reverse play) are not supported when the mode select switch is set to "NORMAL". In addition, the pause mode is silent, not audible.

5. Connection to television monitor (composite video/S-Video)

This player is equipped with two video output connectors: a main video output connector (VIDEO OUT) which outputs only the DVD playback image, and a preview video output connector (PREVIEW OUT) which produces a variety of data displays used by the DJ during a performance.

Each of the television monitors is connected by using standard video cables (RCA plug) or S-Video cables.
The main video output is also equipped with a BNC type output connector (COMPOSITE), allowing the use of a BNC connector if desired.
* Only one video cable is provided as an accessory. S-Video cables and BNC connector cables are not provided.

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - Connection to television monitor (composite video/S-Video) - 1
Main monitor

Connect the player's video output directly to a television monitor, not to a video deck (if connected through a video deck, the copy guard function may prevent proper playback).

6. Connection to television monitor (component video)

This connection is recommended if the main monitor is equipped with component video input (Y / P_B / P_R) , since a higher fidelity video image will be produced.

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - Connection to television monitor (component video) - 1
Main monitor

Cannot be connected to a Hi-Vision component video input connector.

7. Connection to video mixer

Use a standard video cable (RCA plug) or S-Video cable for these connections.

8. Connecting the power cord

After all other connections are completed, connect one end of the accessory power cord to the rear-panel AC inlet, and connect the other end (power plug) to a wall outlet or to the auxiliary outlet on an amplifier.

Setup

Initial setup is required before playing DVDs.

Setting the TV system

The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO.

If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region's system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).

DiscOutput format

The display indicates the new setting.

Note that you have to switch the player into power off before each change.

How to perform setup

Setup operations are performed by first pressing the SETUP button to display the Setup Menu on the screen; the cursor button is used to select items, and items are confirmed with the ENTER button.

The cursor button contains four sensors ( ) in a single button. Press the top () , bottom () , left () and right () sides of the button to move in the corresponding directions on the screen.

Settings are performed via a "Setup Navigator" which uses a dialog format to make basic settings of television and amplifier; a "Setup Menu Mode" is used for individual settings. First press the SETUP button to start the "Setup Navigator".

"Setup Menu Mode" includes "Basic" and "Expert"; the latter mode allows more detailed settings.

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - How to perform setup - 1

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL

SHRINK
Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage.
- If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC PAL conversion.

Using the Setup Navigator

The "Setup Navigator" uses a dialog format to make basic television and amplifier settings. The various settings are made automatically as the user responds to displayed questions. The Setup Navigator function cannot be used during playback.

Set the screen aspect ratio for the television

Select the value matching the type of television connected. Select [16:9(Wide)] when a wide-screen television is connected. Most DVD movies are recorded to support wide television screens with an aspect of 16 horizontal to 9 vertical. As a result, when DVDs are viewed on conventional televisions, the image is projected at the television's aspect ratio of 4:3, causing it to appear horizontally compressed. In order to eliminate this kind of distortion, set the aspect ratio either for [4:3 (Letter Box)] or [4:3 (Pan&Scan)] when using a conventional television.

  • This setting cannot be changed during playback.

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - Set the screen aspect ratio for the television - 1

Select video output format

When the television monitor used is connected for component video and supports progressive inputs, set this option to select the kind of player output, either interlace scan or progressive scan.

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - Select video output format - 1

Interlace:

Select this option when the television or projector does not support progressive inputs (factory default setting).

Progressive:

This mode produces finely detailed, high-definition images and should be selected when using a television or projector that supports progressive inputs.

If your TV doesn't have settings to change the aspect ratio of the picture, set this player to 16:9 (Compressed).

Note:

If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and choose one of the progressive scan settings, you will not be able to see any picture at all. With your TV connected using either the composite or S-Video terminals, choose the Interlace setting in the Component Video menu.

Loading and Removing Discs

PIONEER DVJ-X1 - Loading and Removing Discs - 1

1. Set the rear panel POWER switch to ON.

Do not attempt to force a disc into the slot when the POWER switch is turned OFF, since the disc or loading mechanism may be damaged.

2. Insert the disc into the loading slot.

  • Hold the disc with label surface upwards and insert evenly into the front-panel disc loading slot.
  • When using 8 cm compact discs, place the disc into an adapter first.
  • Only one disc can be loaded at a time. Do not attempt to load two or more discs simultaneously, or to load a second disc when another disc is already loaded.
  • When loading a disc, do not apply bending force on the disc, or attempt to force the disc into the mechanism. Also, when the loading mechanism begins to pull the disc into the player or to eject a disc, do not attempt to forcibly override the mechanism's movement, since the disc or loading mechanism may be damaged.

3. When the eject/stop mode select switch is set to UNLOCK, press the EJECT (▲) button to eject a loaded disc. If the eject/stop mode select switch is set to LOCK, during playback press the PLAY/PAUSE (▶/II) button to first stop the disc, then press the EJECT (▲) button. If a cue point has been set, during playback press the CUE button to initiate back cue, then press the EJECT (▲) button to eject the disc.

  • When the button is pressed, disc rotation will stop and the disc will be ejected partway from the loading slot.

In this case, press the EJECT (▲) button again, and do not attempt to reload the disc until the "EJECT" indicator has turned OFF.

Precautions when playing 8 cm CD singles

① When playing 8 cm CD singles, be sure to use an adapter designed for 8 cm CDs. Before loading the disc into the player, confirm that the disc is fastened correctly by the adapter's tabs. If an 8 cm disc is loaded by mistake without an adapter, immediately press the EJECT (▲) button and remove the disc. If the disc is not ejected the first time the EJECT (▲) button is pressed, press the button again.
② Use only 8 cm disc adapters that feature the logo mark (recommended compatible adapters). When mounting the disc to an adapter, confirm that the disc is able to rotate freely, and is not bent or warped.

Forced eject function

If a disc fails to be ejected when the EJECT (▲) button is pressed or otherwise when you cannot remove a disc, insert the provided pin into the forced eject hole at the front of the player (see illustration) and press to eject the disc. When using the forced eject function, be sure to following the accompanying precautions.
