The CDJ-100S is the cheapest and most basic model in the CDJ range of CD players. It was released by Pioneer in October 1998. The CDJ-100S is a basic CD player with a pitch controller and three sound effect options. It has been superseded by the Pioneer CDJ-200 since then. Critics of the unit claim that it is poorly made and that the controls loosen after limited use.
Although criticized, the CDJ-100S has been the entry level CD deck for many aspiring DJs.
The U.S. model of the CDJ-100S has a digital output which is absent on the European model.
Although CDJ-100s were meant for bedroom DJs, they paved the way for the introduction by Pioneer Corporation of their industry-standard, professional CD deck; the CDJ-1000.
The S in CDJ-100S stands for Silver.
