Just as the title suggests. This is getting pretty frustrating. The actual button works, but I have to press it really hard for it to function. Sometimes it doesn't work at all. Can I fix it or just bear with it?

You can call denon and have it repaired.

I realize that, but I'm trying to save some cash here. Do you think it's a DIY? I bought these decks used, so I don't think they are still covered by a warranty.

I don't think you should try.

Solution:

1. Open up the cd player & make sure the button is secured to the motherboard or whatever the fuck is in the cd player & potentially make the problem worse.

2. Call denon to ask what they can do to solve the problem & how much it will cost.

3. Sell the junk & get a pioneer cdj 1000 (industry standard for a reason).

Don't be a tard.

Pio CDJ-1000's break too.

I've seen 2 that were f'd up (while I was playing out):

1. Hit cue, and the CDJ-1000 jumped to the next track.
2. The other one would just stop at random.

Shit breaks, get over it. But don't recomend that somone sell their $300 CD player and upgrade to an $1100 unit because their button wore out.

believe me - if I had the money, I would be rocking cdj1000s by now.

CDJ 200s..problem sovlved. About $100 more than the S1000s, but hell of a lot more reliable. I'm going to get CDJ 200s this summer (freaking hell i'm downgrading from a CDJ 1000 MK2 to a CDJ 200, should have bought them in the first place, 1000s are too expensive and aren't all they are cracked up to be, unless it's an MK3).

Wuh?

1. The 200's are not more reliable than the Denon DN-S1000's. Why would you say that? Do you have statical data to back that up? I have friends who have the Denon's, and they have held up just fine.

2. Saying the CDJ-1000's aren't "all their cracked up to be", and then saying "unless it's an MK3" is retarded. The MK2 and MK3 are nearly identical. The MK3 adds:
- MP3 support
- A tension knob for scratching
- A slightly higher resolution display
- The ability to save more loops on the hot cue buttons

All of which are features which won't improve your ability to mix.

Don't be a Pioneer fanboy, it just looks bad. They make good products, but so do other manufacturers.

uhmm, actually S1000s and CDj200s go for about the same price. I kinda even like the fact that I don't have the .02 pitch resolution because it allowed me to learn how to ride the pitch.

As far as features go and build quality, the 200s are. Denon products are okay, but Pioneer seems to make better built players. Kind of like Technics is to Stanton, Vestax or Numark. Pioneers are known as the industry standard and more people use them because of their reliable, it's quite known they are. I don't have any statistical data to back it up, just people owning more Pioneer CDJs (look on the Bedroom Pics thread, and 9 times out of 10 you'll find either a CDJ 200, CDJ 800 or CDJ 1000. More clubs use them too. Sure they may be about the same price, but the CDJ 200s are newer, have more features, and feel sturdier.

I've played around at GuitarCenter on the CDJ 1000 MK3s. It may just be a subjective thing, but i've found the overall design and build on the MK3s much better than my CDJ 1000 MK2s. The platters on the MK3s seem smoother, and it has the ability to adjust the platter sensitivity. Mine are too sensitive, and at times, not sensitive enough. One platter is looser than the other. The whole thing just seems cheaper, I dunno exactly why. It doesn't feel like something worth $1,000 that I paid for it. It's not so much about the features, as it is the way it feels. They must have constructed the MK3s better.

They might, but I feel the CDJ200s are more worth the price for them. Haven't they stopped making new S1000s anyways?
