Vinyl Speed Adjust Touch/Brake and Release/Start Separate control knobs allow for quick adjustment of start and stop timing. Tempo Master Tempo Pioneer's Master Tempo locks the pitch of the track even when you change the speed. You can speed up or slow down the beat without any noticeable difference in how the vocal and instruments sound. Eject Button & CD Lock The CDJ-1000 has a guard to prevent you from accidentally pressing it the eject button. The CD is locked until the track is stopped.

Front Loading Loading CD's without having to open doors or trays makes swapping discs and selecting tracks that much faster. It also helps to keep dirt and any nasty substances out of the CD's working parts. Cue Functions Auto Cue This is the fastest way to find the beginning of a track. The sound level can also be changed to suit your style of music (-36db to +78db). There is also an option to turn it off if you prefer to cue up your CD tracks manually. Real Time Cue A cue point can be set on the fly and stored into the internal memory by just simply hitting the In / Real-time cue button. Cue Marker Display The current cue point is indicated within the jogdial's center display to show where the cuepoint is relative to the current play position. Shock-Proof Memory and Anti-Vibration Construction Sound jumps or skipping is prevented by using shock-proof memory for continuous playback even in the event of a bump or knock. Anti-Vibration Oil-dampened floating suspension prevents sound skipping, even when the player is subjected to impact during use or vibrations generated from high volume music and low frequency bass. Digital Output The CDJ-1000MK3 is equipped with full-feature digital output. This means you can keep your scratching and master tempo playback entirely in the digital domain.
