To clean the MDJ-1000, use only a dry soft cloth and/or com-
pressed air. If the unit is soiled with stubborn dirt, we suggest
using a 2:1 solution of distilled water and 30% isopropyl alcohol.
Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals such as benzene, paint
thinner, bleach, or hydrochloric acid, which will damage the unit.

For optimum performance, the temperature of the operating
environment should be between +5º C to +35º C (+41º F - +95º
F). Failure to maintain proper operating temperature may result
in difficulty reading the display, thermal overload, or system-
wide instability. Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight.
When placing the unit in an installation, make sure that it is
placed on a stable surface, as far away from vibrations as possi-
ble. Even though the unit is impervious to vibration, the storage
devices (specifically hard drive based ones) that are designed
to be used in conjunction with it are typically not. Also be sure
not to place or use the player on heat generating sources, such
as amplifiers or near spotlights.

The MDJ-1000 can also send MIDI data from the buttons and
dials to a computer to control the parameters and playback
controls of DJ software. The audio playback from the computer
can also be output from the MDJ-1000.
Before using the MDJ-1000 as an audio device, connect the
MDJ-1000 with a USB cable and allow your PC/MAC to detect
it. Open your DJ software and select the MDJ-1000's output
device in the DJ software's settings. For instructions on how to
do this, see your DJ software's operating instructions.
