Top 20 Pioneer CDJ-800 Turntable Questions & Answers

Downtown Radio was one of my Authorized Service Centers when I worked for Pioneer. They are no longer in business. The issue that Nathan is having, is quite different than a loss of power or ground, caused by an bad IC Protector, which is merely a complicated fuse. Unfortunately, I think you damaged the Optical Pickup(laser) when you installed it. This part, as well as most parts in this unit, are ESD sensitive and without taking the precautions, that pickup may be useless now. For more information, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. You may contact me directly through the website. Thank you.

Well, the optical pickup is not able to read the disk. First off, did you use ESD protection when you installed it? If not, it may already be damaged.

my problem is that my cdj 2000 loses power when I switch it on it comes on and after like 5 seconds , it just shuts off and wont come on when I switch it back on email me with any suggestions, [email protected]

Not true! CD channels don't require a pre-amp and the cartridge for a turntable does. I suspect that when the power went off the mixer was still on, so that when power was restored it came back on. However this resulted in a surge inside the unit. Magnetic cartridge pre-amps are often very sensitive to this kind of thing and will sometimes fail, while everything else works fine. This would result in no sound from the record decks, but sound from CD players etc.

Simply check the laser carriage and what it rides on for damage first.

The step down adapter should work fine as long it supplies the voltage and any other ratings shown on the turntable power supply indication pannel. However the problem might already have happened. If the fuses were before the power entered the mains transformer of the unit, then if they were set to blow above the USA voltage then things could be OK. However if the the fuses were in the secondary output from the transformer then the mains will have caused possible damage to the transformer. Maybe even elsewhere.

Is it a Magnavox or is it a Pioneer?What does "accept or play records" mean?

This probably means that one or two of the tact switches which enable the loop (loop in, loop out, reloop) is damaged and need to be replaced. In pioneer cd players when a tact switch is semi-broken, then if you press another button then it looks like you pressed that semi-damaged switch. For example you may hit "cue" and the cdj loops! It is quite common. If you have some soldering skills this is the tact switch: http://artaudioparts.com/product/dsg1079/

Yes, it can be fixed. You may have a bad jog wheel or the micro switches that reside beneath it. For more information, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. You may contact me directly through the website. Thank you.

Rule number one never put your platters facing down. you probably damaged them and will have to be sent out. i sugguest spending the extra cash n buying cases for them.

For the record I own a pair of CDJ 400's. This is an odd problem as I could only really think of one problem. It may be extremely dusty inside to the point where it is not allowing the spinning of the discs. Try your best to also see if something was jammed in there or if anything at all is stuck. Your going to need to do a bit of cleaning in there and that's honestly my best advice, good luck!

Yes it does. Pionner's CDJs are compatible with mp3s since CDJ200.
