i think im just unlucky with my pioneer cdj1000mk2s.. i bought 2 in feb 04... 1 had to go back as it had pressure sensitivity issues which they could not fixed (they kindly sent me out a new one), Now the one that i got sent out in june 04, the jog dials feels like its needing more pressure on it to scratch, i tested it against my one faithfull deck i originally got, and if i put a light weight on the platter on my good one, it turns into vinyl mode, but when i put the same weight on my other deck, it doesnt recognise any pressure and the music continues playing. I thought maybe it was just me, so i switched my decks around, and now i havethe same problem when scratching.. it just kinda slips away under my hands to early, it works fine if i push down hard on the platter but that makes it very difficult to juggle as your hands are so used to doing the same thing. I called UK tech support and they were great, the guy is going to try and get it back to me within a week because i Dj at a club every friday and saturday. If it has to go to the main pio HQ though it will take 3 - 4 weeks

i should claim to be the 1st person to "scratch out" a cdj1000, maybe ill get an award? haha, but i think this is just down to the faulty unit.

anyone else experienced this?? the unit i am having problems with, i only got in June 04

Where are you, and have you gone back to the shop where you bought it?? Your well under warranty.

maybe one of your hands is weaker than the other. additionally, maybe you put the wait in a different spot on the other CDJ. I think you might be being to picky because I know the sensitivy on both my CDJ's differs a little from eachother. Or atleast i think it does. Just enjoy them! If they work, they work you know

It could possibly be a weak/strong hand issue. I would take the players back to where you purchased them if you are not happy.

I find if you touch the outside of the platter it stops with just a little less pressure than the inside. Maybe thats it.
