I spent a whole night with 2 CDJ 2000 at a student party in a nightclub that came to buy them.

I have at home two CDJ 200, nothing to see, and evening is the CDJ 800 or 1000, the level above.

What is striking when one sees is an imposing presence that emerges: bigger, taller, wider than the 1000, they are huge beasts that seem to swallow a CD with ease.
Ignition: the screen lights up, all features appear ... the possibilities seem endless (see website Pioneer). For my part I only used the main function: CD playback.
The dial is very, very big, and the light that surrounds (and flashes when the track ends, nice detail) is too light for my taste.
The wheel next to the screen is handy for quickly looking in the files subfolder ...

The very nice feature is that it can read everything: USB, MP3, DVD, CD, she swallows everything without flinching. Added to all that the technical characteristics of 1000, which was already at the top ... So the 2000 really has it all. After I'm not certain that all users operate at 100% capacity ...

What I like least: in a nightclub, not much ... after half an hour tinkering with the buttons was a good overview of its capabilities, so the grip is almost immediate. The ribbon of light that surrounds the jog, perhaps? And yet, it's history of criticizing ... design a bit imposing ... and the obligation to redeem a fly with good size ... otherwise not much negative.

Pioneer is, so it's good, cheap and reliable ... Know what you want ...

If ever I had to buy bigger, I'd take the 800 or even 1000. It is useless to have full function if not in use. ;)
