Firmware, setup & connection
The Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000 is a class compliant “Serato Ofcial Accessory”, for Mac & Windows, and does
not require separate drivers.
Each Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000 media player used with Serato DJ Pro in Internal mode using HID, requires a
USB cable, a spare USB port, and must be connected alongside Serato DJ primary hardware.
If you don’t have enough USB ports available to you, you may need to connect your CDJ-3000 media
players to a powered USB hub. It is important to always connect your Serato DJ primary hardware directly
to your computer, where possible.
You must have rmware version 1.20 or higher installed on your CDJ-3000 devices, to connect to Serato
DJ Pro version 2.5.7 or higher.
You can nd instructions on how to update the rmware via our Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000 Firmware update
guide, or via Pioneer’s own website.
Please also ensure you have the latest version of Serato DJ Pro installed:
