CDJ-850 users will be excited to hear that Pioneer has released an updated firmware which resolves an issue with the USB soundcard disconnecting when switching between PC (Computer) and CD sources!
Please visit the CDJ-850 Firmware, Drivers & MIDI Mappings article for more information and a download link.

I don't think that the sync function of the software has been mapped to the player as the player doesn't have a button for that. You could map it yourself.
will there be an update so we can see the waveform from dj software on the 850, like the 900
@Taff > No, sorry.
i mapped the sync function to the reverse buttons on my 850s and it works great.. go to traktor.. controller manager, at the top swich the device to the 850 ( mine is called generic midi after you have loaded the 850 tsi).. go down to add in... tempo, sync.. then go to learn and learn the function to your reverse button. assign the function to deck A.. do this a second time except assign it to deck B and you are good to go.
let me know if you need any help figuring it out..
sorry.. when you are learning the function to the buttons.. do one to the reverse button on the cdj on the left and call it a.. and one to the reverse button on the cdj on the right and call it b..
I think I know what you are saying.The light on the reverse stays illuminated some times when not using sync..
I am experiencing a similar problem with the Vinyl v.s. CD scratch mode. To get the right hand CDJ to function like it is in Vinyl mode I have to press the button so it shows as being in CDJ mode when using the midi. The functionality is the same after doing this but one of the CDJ's looks like it is in CD mode.
Hello there, i've been using the cdj 850's for more than a year now and im running on sl3......Was just wondering that is the use of HID control available for serato users? can i know how the setup is if its available. Thanks
daniel, you need to have 3 USB cables.. (the same type of cable that goes from your SL3 into your computer's usb..) if you need more i recommend www.monoprice.com for the best prices.. if your computer only has 2 usb slots like some do, you will need to buy a usb hub..
once you have all the required parts, simply connect your SL3 and two CDJs via usb to you computer.. you should also connect rca cables from your SL3's output into the input if your mixer.. turn them on and push the buttons on the cdjs that say PC twice each then open serato.. it should recognize them and ask you to select a deck on each.. left deck as 1 and right deck as two.. make sure you change serato to operate in INT mode and then enjoy!!
What HID offers is control of the software without using timecode CDs; better control, more information on the display of the CDJ, etc.
In reply to Andrew Galvin: Thanks a lot for your explanation dude, back here in malaysia not much people set up their serato's with hid control. Im using the dim 350.....is it supported together with the hid control?
The DJM350 doesn't have any connection to the computer so no, it doesn't have HID support.
hi there

@Lukasz > You're unable to press the rotary knob to choose that deck? Or rotate the knob to select one of the other decks?
