Purpose of this guide
This guide describes the procedures for making the connections required to use the PRO DJ LINK functions.

General description of PRO DJ LINK

The various PRO DJ LINK functions provided by Pioneer can be achieved by connecting a PRO DJ LINK-compatible Pioneer DJ player (CDJ-2000nexus/CDJ-2000/CDJ-900),
a DJ mixer (DJM-2000nexus/DJM-2000/DJM-900nexus), or a mobile device (iOS/Android) or computer (Mac/Windows) on which rekordbox is installed by wireless LAN or by
LAN cable.
The main functions that can be achieved by PRO DJ LINK are as follows:
! Music files on a variety of mediums, such as smartphones or tablets12, computers2, USB devices or SD memory cards, can be sent by wireless signal1 or LAN/USB
cable and shared/played on up to four players3.
! The [BEAT SYNC]1 function allows the music on up to four DJ players to be played with their tempos and beats synchronized.
! The channel status (on air status and channel number) can be checked instantaneously.
! The quantize function makes it possible to apply beat effects in tempo with the music.
Even more functions are available when used in combination with other DJ players and DJ mixers supporting the PRO DJ LINK function. For details, see the respective play-
ers or mixers operating instructions.
1
Only supported on the CDJ-2000nexus. 2rekordbox must be installed. 3Music files on CDs or DVDs cannot be shared.

To make maximum use of the PRO DJ LINK function

The maximum advantages of the PRO DJ LINK function can be achieved by using music files that have been analyzed with rekordbox.
Either connect a mobile device (iOS/Android) or computer (Mac/Windows) on which rekordbox is installed directly to the DJ player, or first transfer the music files that have
been analyzed with rekordbox to an SD memory card.
rekordbox can be downloaded free of charge from the following website:
http://rekordbox.com/

Recommended rekordbox versions

rekordbox (iOS/Android) Ver.1.1.0 or greater, rekordbox (Mac/Windows) Ver.2.0.0 or greater
! For details on connections and operations of a mobile device or computer on which rekordbox is installed, see the rekordbox (iOS/Android) users manual or the rekordbox
(Mac/Windows) operating instructions.

Connecting by wireless LAN
! Use a wireless router (commercially available) and access point (commercially available) conforming to either IEEE802.11n or IEEE802.11g standards. Depending on the
signal conditions in the usage environment and the wireless router or access point, PRO DJ LINK connections may not operate properly.
In this case, we recommend changing the wireless routers settings. For instructions on setting the wireless router, see the wireless routers operating instructions.
If the problem persists after changing the wireless routers settings, switch to wired connections.
! For instructions on making the wireless LAN connections, see the operating instructions of your computer or wireless LAN device.
