There is no difference between CD and LINE; they're both line-level device inputs.

CD/PHONO on deck 1 and 4 question DJM 2000 NEXUS
Hello,
So on deck 1 and 4 you have CD and PHONO input. on 2 and 3 it's CD/LINE.
What is the main difference between LINE and CD input? Can not find any info about that anywhere. I would think it's the same?
What i want to do is this:
Connect the output of my Traktor S4 on deck 1 or 4 so i can use the S4 as a extra deck to spice up my mixing.
I could use deck 2 or 3 for that but i prefer deck 1 or 4 as that is more convenient for my setup but i am not sure if i can connect it on CD input? Hence my question what is the difference between LINE and CD input actually?
Thank you so much

Thank you.
Is there a way i can sync Traktor with the DJM 2000?
Or Maschine?
I would connect the MIDI from DJM 2000 with the S4 or Maschine right? Any other steps? (Not using DVS)
This afternoon i was looking at the Pioneer DJS 1000 and the Toraiz SP-16 so i won't need a computer to do what i want. However it's not really clear how that would work as 1 needs Nexus 2 and also i see them connected with the CDJs not with DJM 2000 and using a HUB for PRO Link so i got confused.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions what i could use best for what i want? I don't need live sampling from what i play, all i want is to play (pre made) samples and loops (synced) with my CDJ/DJM setup. If possible without a computer. Maybe a Maschine+ could work also since that is a standalone device? As i was already planning on getting one.

MIDI over USB would achieve what you're looking for; both the DJS-1000 and SP-16 can do that, and Traktor sends MIDI clock (see this guide).

Yeah but would require computer and i would like to avoid that. Specially when i buy a standalone DJS 1000 or SP-16. :-)

In that case, your two choices are to have the unit auto-detect the BPM by reading the audio signal, or you can use a device like this to act as a "host" to receive the MIDI from the DJM over USB, then serve it out over the 5-pin MIDI connection to the DJS / SP-16.
