Phone: 1-800-421-1404 URL: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com D8-10-4*_C1_En NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: — Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. — Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. — Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. — Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

D36-P5_B1_En IMPORTANT NOTICE THE MODEL NUMBER AND SERIAL NUMBER OF THIS EQUIPMENT ARE ON THE REAR OR BOTTOM. RECORD THESE NUMBERS ON PAGE 39 FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. D36-AP9-1_A1_En_PSV For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket–outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. D28-9-3-2_A1_En Information to User Alterations or modifications carried out without appropriate authorization may invalidate the user’s right to operate the equipment. D8-10-2_A1_En CAUTION This product satisfies FCC regulations when shielded cables and connectors are used to connect the unit to other equipment. To prevent electromagnetic interference with electric appliances such as radios and televisions, use shielded cables and connectors for connections. D8-10-3a_A1_En The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly 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. ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL: • Set your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion. • Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there. BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES: • Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you. • Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. • Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

It is also equipped with audio interface, and allows full-fledged DJ performances without requir- ing other DJ equipment. LAYOUT This unit uses the same layout as Pioneer professional models, allowing intuitive and accurate performances with simple 2-channel mixing and effects. MIC/AUX INPUT, XLR OUTPUT This unit is equipped with a microphone/auxiliary input allowing connec- tion of a microphone or external device (sampler, portable audio device, etc.). For output, it has XLR and RCA terminals supporting professional PA equipment. In this way, this unit supports all types of situations and DJing styles. ITCH 2.0 The included ITCH software is a DJ software application that has been optimized for this unit. In addition to the 2-channel mixer and effector, a number of new functions, including slip mode, alphabet search, and hot cue fader start, enable creative and comfortable DJ performances. Furthermore, all the buttons and knobs are preset to operate in associa- tion with the software, so DJ performances can be enjoyed immediately simply by connecting this unit to the computer. LAPTOP DOCK The computer’s keyboard section can be stowed under this unit. Docking the computer with this unit into a single unit allows you to create an efficient DJ system. Playing address/Level meter The player section is equipped with a “playing address” indicator let- ting you grasp the track’s progress at a glance by the position of the LED display and get the sense of touching the track directly when the [NEEDLE SEARCH (ALPHABET SEARCH)] pad is touched with a finger. Furthermore, the mixer section is equipped with a master level meter and channel level meters. This increases affinity with the computer for even more comfortable DJ performances.

D36-P5_B1_En The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly 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. ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL: • Set your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion. • Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there. BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES: • Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you. • Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. • Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. S001a_A1_En Information to User Alterations or modifications carried out without appropriate authorization may invalidate the user’s right to operate the equipment.
