The Pioneer DVJ-1000 offers the standard features and enhanced specification of the CDJ1000MK3, allowing DJs to easily add visuals to their sets. It includes ‘JOG feeling adjustment’ that tailors the deck to performers’ individual styles and retains the familiar look and feel of the CDJ1000MK3 with pitch control, cues and loops executed in the same intuitive fashion.

The Pioneer DVJ-1000 supports CD (CD-R/RW) and DVD (DVD-R/RW) media and performers who work with DVD in Europe and the States will value the convenience of built-in PAL/NTSC compatibility.

The Pioneer DVJ-1000 sets a new benchmark for music portability up to 1,000 MP3 tracks can be accessed on DVD-ROM and provides the most advanced deck for working with this ever-popular format. When connected to a preview monitor, the MP3 Navigator makes track selection a breeze: the information is displayed on a larger screen, DJs can search for music by file and up to eight subfolders (for example, genre of music, artist, track) and seven lines of text are available. For ease, a cursor button is included on the deck to scroll through and select files.

DJs also receive more information from the Preview Output Display. This enhanced feature provides an extensive dashboard (through a preview monitor) that displays key information for DVD, CD and MP3 including: DVD content, WAVE, title, artist, album, main cue points and three hot cue points.

The Pioneer DVJ-1000 retains the recent display improvements to the CDJ1000MK3. The 360° On-Jog Display is improved by being raised on the wheel and lit fluorescently, the cue marker is larger and the 45° angle marks make it easier for scratch DJs to time their effects. The track display’s resolution has been doubled and the lighting is multicolor and fluorescent, while the WAVE data and playing address data encompass a complete track.

With its 96 kHz/24-bit audio, the Pioneer DVJ-1000 will be used by studios, producers and artists who have the option of outputting their tracks in optimum clarity. Connected to our digital chain of mixers and effectors, the DVJ-1000 delivers unparalleled audio quality. Another feature that appeals to music professionals is our Legato Link Pro. This digital filter applies up-sampling technology to reproduce audio information lost in some disc formats (DVD: 48 kHz 192 kHz; CD: 44.1 kHz 176.4 kHz).
