CDJ-800
The CDJ-800 (known as the "Mark 1" once the second version was released) is a stripped down model of the CDJ-1000 (including the second and third versions, the CDJ-1000MK2 & CDJ-1000MK3), made by the
Pioneer Corporation . It is similar in size to the CDJ-1000, but doesn't have the same functionality, and comes in a hard plastic silver casing, rather than the black casing of the CDJ-1000. The biggest differences with the 1000-series players are : Totally different mechanisme for the jog rotation, No Memory card option, No waveform and the overall build is slightly lighter than the CDJ-1000 series.The general design purpose of the CDJ-800 was to offer DJ's the Jog facilities they have in the club on CDJ-1000's at home for a lower price.
The CDJ-800 was introduced in November 2002 and discontinued in February 2006 [cite web|url=http://www.djresource.eu/Topics/story/4/Pioneer-CDJ-800/|title=CDJ-800 page on DJResource.|accessdate=2008-06-13] .
