CDJ 350 bpm display issue

Hi, I have a pair of 350 CDJ's. They're good CDJ's, I love them.

However there is one huge problem i'm facing and it's making me crazy and my mixes completely horrible which is the BPM display.

This topic is similiar to this one: http://forums.pioneerdj.com/entries/20242888-CDJ-350-BPM-display-errors however i'm not talking about minor differences, i'm talking about huge differences. I play drum n bass music which is around 160-170 BPM but the display seems to freak out on that. Sometimes tracks show as let's say 160, and the other one (which has the very same tempo in fact!!) displays half of that; 80.

The CDJ's seem to can't handle the bpm number so it divides the actual bpm by 2. It is extremely annoying and confusing. I've contacted Pioneer only to get a message about Rekordbox. I've tried it and didn't change anything. I've also upgraded the firmware, so that's not the case either.

Can anyone from Pioneer help me to get rid of this? Thanks in advance.

Hi Peter, I too play D&B So I'm familiar with the high-tempo music not necessarily registering correctly.

Music played from CD or from a USB that hasn't been prepared with rekordbox, the CDJ is reading the audio in realtime to try and ascertain the tempo. If you have processed your music through rekordbox, however, the beat grid allows the player to know what the tempo is without analysis. I know rekordbox can still sometimes get D&B wrong, but it's much easier to click the "2x" button and have it corrected than to try and work with a display showing 1/2 the correct value.
