CD mode is useful if you have more important things to do than cueing up like say... chatting up girls or harassing someone nearby for free drinks.

Everyone always has those awful things set to cd mode.. I don't get what the fuck I should do in that case.

vynil grooves
ARE the waveform.
and me, i generally use the vynil mode to cue then switch into cd mode before starting the mix.

To be fair, waveforms are way better for that
Mixed on 2000's once. After a few minutes you'll have a voice in your head telling you to set the damn
things on fire.
I'm exaggerating obviously, but I don't need 80 buttons and flashy lights.
If you're used to vinyl mixing, I'd definitely read the manual before getting behind those cdjs.

Vinyl mode.
Once stepped up to the decks in a club with a FunctionOne system and didn't realise the CDJs were in CD mode...attempted a spinback for my first tune...
