Cue point/loop point memory
The CDJ-400 is able to save cue points and loop points in memory.
One cue/loop point can be saved in memory for each track.

2. Press the CUE/LOOP MEMORY button.
¶ The [MEMORY] indicator will light, showing that the cue point
has been stored.

back.
2. During loop playback, press the CUE/LOOP MEMORY but-
ton.

has been stored.
7 To recall a memorized cue/loop point
If a cue/loop point is saved, the [MEMORY] indicator will light.

mode at that point.
2. Press the PLAY/PAUSE button ( 6).

or more at the cue/loop point you wish to delete.
¶ The display will show the [DELETE] message, and the selected
cue point or loop point data will be erased.
Relay play using two players
By using the supplied control cable to connect the CONTROL connec-
tors of two CDJ-400, or other CDJ series CD players, relay play can be
performed.
☞P.8
¶ Set both players’ auto cue function to ON (The [A.CUE] indicators
will light in the displays.)
¶ Set the DJ mixers Cross Fader control to its center position.
1. Begin playback on the first player.
2. When the currently playing track ends, playback will begin
automatically on the standby player.
3. The first player will enter cue pause mode at the beginning
of the next track on its disc.
¶ By repeating this operation, the two players can be used to per-
form continuous relay play.
¶ By loading new discs and choosing desired tracks on the player
in standby, a continuous program of selected tracks can be
played.
¶ By setting a cue point on the standby player, a relay of any
desired cue point of the selected track can be performed.
☞P.17 “Cue Point Settings”
Note:
¶ Relay play may not operate properly if the AUDIO
OUT jacks on the two players are not connected to
the same DJ mixer.
¶ If the power to one player is turned off during its
playback, the other player may begin playback.
¶ Fader start and relay play cannot be performed si-
multaneously, since different control cord connec-
tions are required.
Writing and reading data
Using a USB memory device, data (cue/loop points) saved from the
CDJ-400 can be copied to other players.
7 Writing data to USB memory devices
1. With no USB memory device or discs inserted into the
player, hold the OUT/OUT ADJUST button depressed for
five seconds or more.
The OUT/OUT ADJUST button will light, and [WRITE MODE] will
appear in the display.
2. Connect a USB memory device, and press PLAY/PAUSE
once the USB MEMORY indicator lights.
The playing address section will begin to light, and data will begin
writing to the USB memory device. Once the writing of data fin-
ishes, [END] will appear in the display, and the unit will return to
the regular operating mode.
¶ If [ERROR] appears in the display, the data writing has not been
completed properly. Turn the unit’s power off then on again,
and restart the process from step 1.
¶ Any data in the USB device will be overwritten, so all previ-
ously saved data on the device will be lost.
7 Reading data from a USB memory device
1. With no USB memory device connected or disc inserted,
hold the IN/REALTIME CUE/HOT LOOP button depressed
for five seconds or more.
The IN/REALTIME CUE/HOT LOOP button will light, and [READ
MODE] will appear in the display.
2. Connect the USB memory device, and press PLAY/PAUSE
once the USB MEMORY indicator lights.
The playing address section will begin to light, and data read-in
will begin. Once all data has been read, [END] will appear in the
display, and the unit will return to normal operation mode.
¶ If [ERROR] appears in the display, the reading of data has not
been properly completed. Turn the unit’s power off then on
again, and restart the process from step 1.
* Any data within the CDJ-400 will be overwritten, so all previously
saved data will be lost.
¶ Seamless reverse playback cannot be performed with loops of 15
seconds or more.
¶ If track search or loop play are performed, scratch/reverse opera-
tions may be temporarily disabled.
¶ In the case of MP3, reverse play that overlaps multiple folders is
not possible.
¶ During MP3 play, reverse playback may not occur immediately
with some tracks. (The message [Searching] may appear on the
display while play time information is read into the unit before
playback starts.)
