XDJ 1000 MK2 - Left RCA Output - Distortion

Hi All, I have recently came across my issue specifically with an XDJ 1000 MK2. I have narrowed it down to the left RCA output on the deck (white cable) giving a distortion/interference esque sound on both my headphones and on the master speakers. I have tried changing power source, I have changed the RCA cables, I have tested on multiple channels on my mixer and also on another mixer entirely. The same issue is always the sound on the left RCA output. I have seen previous threads about master tempo but I have tried and tested that also, my issue is not linked. Anyone got any ideas before I look to send in for repair/replace?

 

Many Thanks, Lee.

I have the same issue. It cuts out part of the soundwave on left channel.

I supossed an error in DAC, so I decided to use the digital output and my own  DAC. But then is it even worse - after short time of good quality sound comes white noise and I must stop the player. After restart it plays correct again.

It seems like you've done a thorough job troubleshooting the issue with your XDJ 1000 MK2's left RCA output. Since you've already ruled out the cables, mixer channels, and power source, and considering the problem persists regardless of the setup, the issue is likely internal to the deck itself. Here are a few possibilities:

  1. Loose or Damaged Internal Connection: There might be a loose or damaged connection inside the unit, specifically related to the left RCA output. This could cause the distortion you're hearing.
  2. Faulty RCA Jack: The RCA output jack itself might be faulty. If there's any corrosion or physical damage to the jack, it could cause poor connections, leading to distortion.
  3. Circuitry Issue: The problem could be deeper within the unit's internal circuitry. A failing capacitor, resistor, or other component related to the left channel could cause the distortion.
  4. Grounding Issue: While less common, a grounding issue inside the unit could also cause interference or distortion on one channel.

Given the troubleshooting steps you've already taken, it might be time to send the unit in for repair. A technician will be able to open up the device and inspect the internal components, checking for any of the issues mentioned above. If your unit is still under warranty, this might be covered, so it's worth reaching out to Pioneer or the retailer you purchased it from.
