20 Most Recent Pioneer CDJ-800 Turntable - Page 7 Questions & Answers

Sounds like either the cd reader is dirty, or the traverse assembly is damaged (cd reader). If a professional cleaning does not fix the problem, then you'll have to have the cd reader replaced.

The part can be purchased here: PIONEER CDJ800 PART

But, self-repair is not recommended. You can buy the part, then take it with you to a qualified service center. Many times, they will mark up the cost of the part significantly, so you'll be able to save some money buying the part yourself.

More than likely you have a bad switch, although this is not something that you could service yourself. I would suggest taking it to a service center in your area. Make sure they are Pioneer authorized, and know what a CDJ800 unit is!

Sounds like you have a broken Sheet Switch. Basically, there is a circular piece of plastic which goes underneath the jog wheel, so that when you press the wheel, it activates the switch and stops the track / slows it down, and also puts the indicator on in the middle of the wheel. The part is readily available from Pioneer, and is a bit of a tricky fit, however is not the hardest thing to fit on the unit. However, it is the most fragile part of the player, and most common to fail if the unit has had physical trauma, eg dropping, spillage etc.

Hi,

Unfortinetly i cant recommend to you a quick fix or a quick check as the fault seems to be intermittent,
i would suggest taking the player to your cdj pioneer dealer.

Thanks.

in dj mode they are ment to act like turntables give a little push in the right direction when you release.

Hi,

The player does have a fuse but its not recommended to try and fix the player yourself as
it may not be the fuse at fault and is dangerous.

thanks.

Assuming you have plugged it into your mixer first, be sure that you:
A) matched the red and white RCA cable heads with the red and white input port on the mixer and output ports on the CDJ.
B) make sure you've plugged in to the "Line" ports, not the "phono" ports on one channel of your mixer.
C) lastly, make sure your headphones are plugged into the headphone jack of the mixer, have the "monitor" volume turned up, have the correct channel selected and make sure the channel selector switch is set to the same channel your CDJ is plugged into.
That should do it.

You can replace the cd drive by ordering another one from American DJ online.Give them the model number and replace about three multiple connectors in the same order you have the bad one. That will fix your problem.

Sounds like a tray issue. Unfortunately the only option is to have the tray replaced.

sounds like the jogwheel sensor,if you havent had it repaired you can send it to us.

thanks.

Yes, sounds like you have a bad traverse assembly (laser). You can replace it yourself, however, I wouldn't suggest it, as you need to calibrate the assembly after the installation, and remove a solder bridge (which keeps the unit safe during transport). It is a little complicated, if you don't have experiencing doing this type of work. Taking it to a service center would be your best option.

Your CD reader is damaged and will need to be replaced. You can attempt the repair yourself by purchasing the PART HERE (not sure which model you have - 800 or 800MK2)

However, I do not suggest self-repair if you have no electronics experience, as you will damage your unit even more. Seek the help of a professional for something like this.

More than likely the touch/sensor pad underneath the platter is bad. This can only be replaced by a professional.

The drive motor on this unit is probably about to die, or the contact pad underneath the platter is damaged. In either case, you'll have to take it to a qualified service technician for diagnosis and repair.

Depends. You will have to take it to a service center to get looked at. Rough estimate, if your in the U.S., and if your in a major metro city, will run you anywhere from $100-180 for this type of repair. Again, it all depends on what died or needs to be repaired.

sounds like a laser pick-up fault, if you havent had it repaired you can send it to us.

thanks.

Your best option is to get a hold of the service manual for this model. Which is available HERE. It tells you how to align, calibrate, disassemble, and clean the unit. As well as assorted schematics and diagrams you'll need in order to troubleshoot issues with the unit.

Now, just because you've master the 1200s, doesn't mean that this beast is just as easy. It's not. This is COMPLETELY different than an analog turntable like the 1200s. You have to be cautious with ESD, the Laser, and an assortment of other fragile components on this unit.

So, I say, experiment on your own gear, this way you won't mess up a customer's unit. Or buy yourself a used, damaged unit, and work on re-building that one. It's the only way your going to learn.

Hope this helps some.

It sounds like you might have problems with your CDs. If you are burning CDs on your computer to play in the CDJ, you need to remember that it will only play audio (wav), or MP3 files. Also, blank data CDs are cheaper that buying audio / music CDs. When you burn your CDs to play back on the CDJ, you have to be sure to burn them as wav or mp3. AAC, MP4, OGG and the other formats will not work in the player. When you burn the CD, ALWAYS burn at a slower speed than what the computer will automatically burn at. You will have to manually set the speed yourself.

Personally- when i burn my tracks CDs for my CD book, I use trusted name brand blank data CDs such as Memorex, Sony, TDK, Fuji, Imation. I burn them as AUDIO ONLY. To avoid any reading mistakes that could happen with any given CD player, i NEVER burn track CDs as mp3. When i burn the CD, i set the writing speed to 24x, 30x, or 32x. I recommend that you DO NOT burn your CDs at any speed faster than 32x. From my experience, that is the fastest and safest burning speed. If you do these things, and you still have problems with the E-83 02 code, then it will only have to be the kind of CDs your using to burn, or your CD burner in your computer. Notice how i didn't mention Maxell CDs up top. 3 months ago, i bought 2 spindles of Maxell data blanks on sale for $9.99 each. I was happy i got them that cheap, but the CDs themselves were no good. Recording everything the way i do, they had popping noises and scratching sounds through-out the disc. I gave the spindles to my neighbor. He was happy to get blank CDs free. I WILL NOT say that Maxell makes a bad product: I still record on cassettes and Maxells are one of my top 3 choices for blank chrome tapes. But the discs i bought were just a bad batch. Maxell is still a trusted name for blank tapes with us older DJs that started out with recording on tapes before the CD format became way cheaper and affordable.

Try burning your discs as audio only, and burn them at 24x, 30x, or 32x ONLY. Buy better brand name data CDs, and you should have no problems. If you use my method as an example, and you still have problems, then you need to get a new CD burner for your computer. They are always cheaper at Staples or Office Depot. Hope **** works out for you : D
