You're watching VisiHow. In this video, we are going to show how to set up the Pioneer DDJ SX2 DJ controller.

1. 1
   First of all, we are going to start by plugging in our headphones

   .

   There are two headphone inputs on the controller. One is 1/4-inch, which is for the bigger DJ-style headphone plugs, and the other is like the one that we use on other consumer electronics, an 1/8-inch port. We have the option of either 1/4 or 1/8 of an inch. In this video, the plug used is the smaller one. It is plugged in.

   We'll notice that there are three different speaker outputs. We have "BOOTH OUT" for 1/4-inch jacks as well as RCA "MASTER OUT2" and XLR "MASTER OUT1". In this video, the RCA plugs will be used. They are color-coded. They are red and white. They must correspond with outputs: white for left.

   Next, we'll plug in the power

   When the unit ships, the power supply may be disassembled. It may have an add-on, depending on in which country we are. We put the add-on into the supply until we hear a click.
