The DDJ-200 is not intended to connect via BT to a computer, only to a mobile device. For a computer, please use the USB connection.

DDJ-200 bluetooth connect problem with MacBook
Has anyone been able to connect DDJ-200 via bluetooth to a laptop?
The standard way to connect DDJ-200 to iPhone or iPad is via bluetooth, and I get that to work fine. Well, if you try to connect via the system Settings>Bluetooth panel it will not work. When you try to connect to DDJ-200, which shows up in "Other Devices" an error window pops up saying, "Pairing Unsuccessful "DDJ-200" is not supported." Instead, you have to go the Settings/Preferences pane within the DJ app (eg, WeDJ, DJay) and connect there.
However, on my MacBook Pro laptop I cannot connect via Bluetooth. First, when you try to connect via System Preferences>Bluetooth you see DDJ-200, but when you click on it a window pops up saying, "Waiting for DDJ-200 to accept connection. Make sure code shown on "DDJ-200' matches the one below." Then a 6 digit Bluetooth security PIN is displayed. I see no way to input a PINs on the DDJ-200 and therefore no way to connect. Plus, DJ apps (eg, DJay Pro 2, rekordbox) have no way that I can find to connect to the DDJ-200 via Bluetooth. I've looked all through the app's Settings/Prefs to no avail.
The only way I can connect is via USB, which I guess is fine, as it provides both MIDI data and power, but it is surprising and poorly documented.

I have the same. Pioneer told me it's not possible to connect the DDJ200 via bluetooth to Mac, only via USB. So for a mac pro i don't think it's a problem. However with a mac book air like me, it's not really possible to connect them.
The controller is now connected to a multiport, same as my headphones. The mac is connected to my speakers via Bluetooth. The only problem is that the multiport doesn't give sound to my headphones.

Hi Andrew,
Please ensure that your iOS device is running 14.3 as there were issues Apple addressed from 14.2. You should be connecting to the DDJ through the WeDJ app, not through the system bluetooth menu. Let us know how that goes.
