Pioneer Electronics has just announced their next generation DVJ turntable, the DVJ-1000. Based on the industry standard CDJ-1000, it combines top of the line sound manipulation with the capabilities of the DVJ-X1, the world’s first DVD turntable.

The new device sports familiar features such as the large jog dial, alongside loop, hot cue and reverse functions. There is a new one-track seamless loop function, to easily loop entire tracks, and the footprint of the unit has been drastically reduced.
