Pro Dj''s R Us
The Pioneer Cdj-800 is a very reliable product which is not unusual with pioneer. This means that it would be perfect for a Dj starting off. When i first used this product i noticed the large jogwheel which is atleast 4 discs wide this meaning a good surface to scratch on. The Cdj-800 provides full MP3 compatibility along with a stylish silver metallic finish and metallic JOG buttons.MP3 tracks can be operated in the same way as CDs as the deck is equipped with ‘Folder Search’, and in ‘Text Mode’ the artist name, track title and file name are shown on the improved resolution display.The thing that dissapointed me with the cdj 800 was the fact that i heard a few dj''s inform me about the cdj 800''s memory. Seeing as this is a big part of the cd deck it worried me but this was my only concern.

I bought this product because of the love of pioneer. Having used it before i know its a good reliable make and pioneer cdj''s suprise me. I never know what amazing mind boggoling ideas the creator are going to come up with next.
| Pros | Cons |
| An Auto beat loop capability , loading tracks promptly and being able to switch throuch tracks at lightning speed. | Hearing that the memory was letting people down. |
