POWER-CORD CAUTIONHandle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power
cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a
short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a
piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cords should be routed such that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord
can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
Please read through these operating instructions so you will know how to operate your
model properly. After you have finished reading the instructions, put them away in a safe
place for future reference.
In some countries or regions, the shape of the power plug and power outlet may some-
times differ from that shown in the explanatory drawings. However the method of connect-
ing and operating the unit is the same. If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC
outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed
and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and
mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of
this unit should be performed only by qualified
service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the
cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make
sure it is properly disposed of after removal.
The equipment should be disconnected by removing
the mains plug from the wall socket when left
unused for a long period of time (for example, when
on vacation).
D3-4-2-2-1a_A_En
CAUTIONThe POWER switch on this unit will not completely
shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the
power cord serves as the main disconnect device for
the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet
to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the
unit has been installed so that the power cord can
be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an
accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should
also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left
unused for a long period of time (for example, when
on vacation).

IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED PLUGThis appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 3 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the
fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 3 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.
Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug
must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your local dealer.
If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for your socket outlet, then the fuse shall be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of
safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.
If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows ;
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured RED.
How to replace the fuse: Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse.

FEATURES CONTENTS
CONFIRM ACCESSORIES
1Designed for high sound quality
Analog signals are transmitted by the shortest circuitry and
converted to digital format at 96 kHz sampling rate via a 24-bit high
quality A/D converter. As a result, signals are passed to the digital
mixing stage in the best possible state. Mixing is performed with a
32-bit DSP, totally eliminating any loss in fidelity, while the ideal level
of filtering is introduced to produce optimum sound for DJ play.
These features are housed in a high-rigidity chassis with double-
shielded construction together with a high-performance power
section and other features of the high-fidelity technology also used in
the DJM-1000, thus guaranteeing the utmost in clear and powerful
club sounds.
2Sound-color effects
1) Harmonic effect
Equipped with the industrys first harmonic effect function that
detects the tracks key and provides optimum tuning for DJ play.
This new function allows smoother, more natural DJ mixing
compared to earlier models which allowed DJ play with track tempo
adjustment alone.
2) Modulation effect
Filter, crush, and sweep effects have been added to each
channel.
These allow a greater breadth to DJ play by permitting the user to
apply effects more intuitively.
Also, by combining these with beat effects, some 50 kinds of effect
can be produced, giving the user a vast potential for remix and DJ
play.
3Beat effects
The beat effects so popular on the DJM-600 are continued here.
Effects can be applied in linkage to the BPM (Beats Per Minute) count,
thus allowing the production of a variety of sounds.
Some of the effects include delay, echo, reverse delay, pan, trance,
filter, flanger, phaser, reverb, robot, chorus, roll, and reverse roll.
4Digital IN/OUT
The digital input connectors support each of the sampling rates (44.1/
48/96 kHz), thus allowing the connection of digital components for a
DJ system with no sound degradation.
Likewise the digital output connectors support sampling rates 96 kHz/
24-bit and 48 kHz/24-bit, making the unit even more convenient for
cutting studio tracks or on other occasions when high sound fidelity
is required. (Only linear PCM is supported.)
5MIDI OUT
Virtually all the dial and switch information of the DJM-800 can be
output in MIDI signal format, allowing external components to be
controlled via MIDI.
6Other functions
¶A control cable can be used to connect the unit to a Pioneer DJ CD
player, thus allowing playback to be linked to operation of the
fader (fader start play).
¶Built-in 3-band equalizer supports level control within the range
of +6 dB to –26 dB in each bandwidth.
¶Cross fader assignment function allows each channels input to
be assigned flexibly to a cross fader.
¶Talk over function automatically lowers track volume during
microphone input.
¶Fader curve adjustment function allows modification of the
cross fader and channel fader curves.
¶Microphone cut function mutes microphone output to the
booth monitor, thus preventing uncomfortable feedback.
¶By replacing the channel fader section with the optional rotary
volume kit DJC-800RV, the slider control can be replayed with a
rotary type control.
