operating system’s standard driver software.

Adjusting the buffer size (Windows)

is running, quit that application before adjusting the buffer size.

Click Windows [Start] menu > [All Programs] > [Pioneer] > [Pioneer
CDJ]
> [Pioneer CDJ ASIO Settings Utility].

! A sufficiently large buffer size decreases the chance of sound dropout (sound

interruption) but increases audio signal transmission delay (latency).

! For the bit number, specify the bit depth during ASIO playback.
! To specify “24 bit” for the bit number, the firmware must be updated to ver-

sion 3 or later.
