USA only | It was released in Japan as Pioneer DJ CDJ-30.

The CDJ-300 was a lower cost version of the Pioneer CDJ-500 as it misses the Loop functionality. It was released within a year after the introduction of the first CDJ ever, the CDJ-500.

Successor : Pioneer DJ CDJ-500II

This pro-use player allows you to handle CDs in the traditional vinyl turntable way.

The Pioneer CDJ-300 has a jogwheel to control Pitch Bend or when in Pause mode it will search the track. The stuttering sound that is outputted plays from the audio frame a few frames forward and then repeats.

Along with the tempo/pitch control works the Master Tempo, this function changes the key of the song as if it was played at 0% Pitch. Speed changes by the fader or pitch bends done with the Jogwheel are can hardly be heared this way.

Cue Sampler plays the track from the Cue point when pressing and holding the Cue Button for maximum 0.7 seconds.
