Preparations for updating firmware

The CDJ-400/CDJ-400-K can be updated using USB memory or an update disc that has been created.
An explanation follows detailing the procedures for creating a USB memory update or an update disc.

♦ To use USB memory for updating

Copy the extracted firmware file which name is "CDJ400.HEX" to the root directory of a USB memory device.

* Be absolutely sure you do not change the name of the file.

* A USB memory device formatted in FAT or FAT32 (a device belonging to the USB mass storage class)

♦ To use a disc for updating

Create the update disc by burning the extracted firmware file to a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Please read the following precautions closely before burning the firmware files to a CD-R or CD-RW disc.

  1. Burn the files to the disc following the proper procedure.
  2. The player will not recognize the update disc and the update cannot be performed if the files are not burned correctly to the disc.
  3. Use a blank CD-R disc.
  4. Use a completely erased CD-RW disc.

Clicking either of the buttons below will open a window explaining how to create the update disc with the recommended authoring software.
The file name and size are different by models.

Click here if you are using the Windows Vista Disc writing functionGo to Created Update Disc page.

* Pioneer does not guarantee the actual CD-R/RW burning operation that occurs due to differences in displays or operations, caused by specification changes or version differences in the authoring software above, or other computer environmental conditions. Either consult your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer of your authoring software or computer for basic instructions on burning CD-R/RW discs.

* Use the disc-at-once mode to record the disc following the ISO 9660 CD-ROM file system.

You may use other authoring software. Refer to the relevant instructions before use.
