A detection window will appear next verifying proper connection.

Click on the MCX8000 button in order VirtualDJ to apply the pre-defined audio configuration (speakers need to be connected to the rear side of the unit in this case)

Click to OK


The unit is now ready to operate.


MIDI Operation


The unit should be visible in the MAPPING tab of Config as 3 devices (Denon DJ MCX8000 for the main unit and 2 more for the Left and Right LCD Displays) and the “factory default” available/selected from the Mappings drop-down list for all 3 of them.



The factory default Mapping offers the functions described in this Manual, however those can be adjusted to your needs via VDJ Script actions.
Find more details at http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJ8script.html

Note : If the LCD screens are inverted (i.e. the Left LCD screen shows the info of the right deck and vice versa), make sure the Display Left unit is assigned to Decks 1,3 and the Display Right unit is assigned to Decks 2,4.

AUDIO Setup


The unit has a pre-defined Audio setup and a special button in the AUDIO tab of Config to provide that.
