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.
4-BEAT LOOP
When the 4-BEAT/ONE-TRACK button is pressed, the point at
which the button is pressed is set as a loop-in point, and a loop-out
point is set automatically 4 beats later, and automatic loop play is
performed.
ONE-TRACK LOOP
When the 4-BEAT/ONE-TRACK button is held depressed for one
second or more, the chapter loop or track loop function is enabled.
BACK & FORTH LOOP
The Back & Forth Loop mode repeats playback in forward direc-
tion from the loop-in point to loop-out point, followed by reverse
play from the loop-out point to the loop-in point.
PLAYING ADDRESS
With an analog record, the position of the stylus gives the opera-
tor 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 Pioneer DJ mixer (sold sepa-
rately), the mixer's fader operation can be used to perform fader
start and back cue.
MULTI READ
Discs readable on this player include CD-R/CD-RW (recorded in
audio CD format or MP3), and DVD-R/DVD-RW (recorded in video
format or MP3). 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.
MP3 DJ PLAY
This function allows use of the DJ function to play MP3 files re-
corded on CD or DVD.
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. Dur-
ing use of DVD play, cue points, loop points, and hot-cue points
are shown as thumbnail displays overlain on the main output
making possible interactive DJ operations.
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) for-
mats.
HI-BIT
This function extends the bit length of audio data. By transform-
ing 16-bit or 20-bit data to 24-bit, even minute signals can be
reproduced with smooth, finely defined sound.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
96 kHz 24-bit digital audio output is supported in DJ mode as
well as NORMAL mode.
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 but-
tons)
¶ 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 view-
ing 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 per-
formed as when in NORMAL mode.
