About the driver software (Windows)
This driver software is an exclusive ASIO driver for outputting audio signals from a computer with a CDJ series (referred to as CDJ below). To use a CDJ connected to a
computer on which Windows is installed, the driver software must be installed on the computer beforehand.
!To use a computer on which Mac OS X is installed, use the standard driver software pre-installed on the OS. (No new installation is required.)

OR UNINSTALL IT, AS APPLICABLE.

of liability, for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive
damages, or damages for lost profits, revenue, business, savings, data,
use, or cost of substitute procurement, even if advised of the possibility
of such damages or if such damages are foreseeable. In no event will
Pioneer’s liability for all damages exceed the amounts actually paid by
You to Pioneer or its subsidiaries for the Program. The parties acknowl-
edge that the liability limits and risk allocation in this Agreement are
reflected in the Program price and are essential elements of the bargain
between the parties, without which Pioneer would not have provided the
Program or entered into this Agreement.

Agreement do not affect or prejudice Your statutory rights as consumer
and shall apply to You only to the extent such limitations or exclusions
are permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction where You are located.

illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, that provision will be enforced
to the extent possible or, if incapable of enforcement, deemed to be
severed and deleted from this Agreement, and the remainder will con-
tinue in full force and effect. The waiver by either party of any default or
breach of this Agreement will not waive any other or subsequent default
or breach.
4No Assignment. You may not assign, sell, transfer, delegate or otherwise
dispose of this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it, whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without
Pioneer’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment, transfer or
delegation by You will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the par-
ties and their respective successors and assigns.
5Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agree-
ments or representations, whether written or oral, concerning its sub-
ject matter. This Agreement may not be modified or amended without
Pioneer’s prior and express written consent, and no other act, document,
usage or custom will be deemed to amend or modify this Agreement.

The CDJ is equipped with a function for using it as an audio device conforming to
the ASIO standard.
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).

is running, quit that application before adjusting the buffer size.
!Please set the bit depth up to the model as below chart.
