Denon’s much-lauded next generation of DJ media players have added rekordbox support top their long list of features. The twice DJ Mag Tech award winners, v1.0.3 of the Denon SC5000 Prime “automatically and elegantly” converts hot-cues, playlists and saved loops from either the rekordbox software or anything saved on-the-fly during a set.
It’s a big step for Denon whose new players have been widely praised, but were surely dismissed by those who’d invested significant time and effort in ‘rekordboxing’. It’s unclear whether Denon’s parent company InMusic licensed the technology or if it’s a custom ‘hack’ but either way, it’s an interesting move from the first challenger to Pioneer’s crown in over a decade.
The SC5000 is also the world’s first DJ media player capable of analyzing music files on the fly, thanks to its on-board, multi-core internal processor. Coupled with Denon’s proprietary Engine Prime music library software, the processor makes quick work of importing your music directly from iTunes or Serato DJ.

Denon Dj Sc5000 Prime
- The Denon SC5000 Rekordbox Import feature allows for DJs with song libraries created in Rekordbox to seamlessly and effortlessly plug into a Denon Prime system and have access to all Rekordbox playlists and songs, including hot cues and memory loops.
- Is the Denon SC5000 compatible with Rekordbox to perform? I'm planning on getting a DDJ 1000 here in the near future for the 4 channels that can be utilized by the controller, but I want to be able to access all 4 channels without pushing a button.

Denon DJ just announced a firmware update to its SC5000 Prime flagship media player. Now at version 1.0.3, the update gives the SC5000 Prime the ability to use thumb drives and SD cards containing music prepared using Pioneer DJ’s Rekordbox software. The SC5000 Prime automatically converts hot cues, saved loops, and playlists so you can access all of them when spinning on an SC5000 Prime. That means you can turn up to a club with your USB sticks as you normally would, plug them into the SC5000 Prime and you’re off to the races.
Denon Sc5000 Review
This is an important development because it means that Denon DJ has essentially made Rekordbox-prepared USB drives “cross platform” (at least as far as Pioneer DJ and Denon DJ Prime gear go). Club DJs who have spun with Rekordbox-prepared music on USB sticks and CDJs for years can now potentially get that same experience on an SC5000 Prime set-up without having to re-export their music using the Engine Prime laptop software.
• The Denon DJ SC5000 1.0.3 firmware update is now available. Check the Denon DJ site for more details.
