KAOSS DJ
Troubleshooting
Power won’t turn on
→ If you connect the KAOSS DJ to your
computer via a USB hub, it might not
power-on because of insufficient power. In
that case, you should connect the KAOSS
DJ directly to a USB connector on the
computer itself, not via a USB hub.
→ There might be a problem with the USB
cable you’re using. Check whether the
power turns on with the included USB
cable.
The KAOSS DJ is not recognized as a USB
device
→ There might be a problem with the USB
cable you’re using. Try using a different
cable.
→ Check whether there might be a problem
with the USB A port of the computer or
other device where the KAOSS DJ is
connected.

you use a commercially available long
length USB cable. Even if you’re using a
long length USB cable, the KAOSS DJ
might be recognized if you connect via a
self-powered hub; however even in this
case, you should use the included USB
cable between the KAOSS DJ and the
self-powered hub.
