Track Time Display Too Small on Prime 4+

Hi, I recently switched to the Prime 4+ from another ecosystem and one thing that really bothers me is the track time display – it’s so small that in a fast-paced mix I can barely read how much time is left.

Is there any way to make the remaining time counter at least 2x larger or more prominent on the screen? This is honestly one of the biggest drawbacks for me at the moment.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately not, it was made smaller on the 4.0.0 update.

Believe me it’s even worse on the 7 inch screen of the Prime 2

Yep, that just seems to be Denon’s way forward, despite our feedback. Make the waves BIGGER and the decks smaller. Scrolling waves are considered more important than any track related info. :cry:

I guess most developers must have fighter pilot eyes with 20/10 visual acuity unlike us who are used to working in the dark of clubs

Denon, please give us the option to choose the font size of the track time display. This is a very important element, and I can’t understand why it’s so small and hard to notice right now.

Even better – add the time display into the jogwheel screens. At the moment those jogwheel displays are almost useless, just showing the cover art. Having the time there would be much more practical (and yes, cover art is fun, but accurate timing is way more important :sweat_smile:).

The jog wheel displays has already been marked as ‘not being implemented’ so that can be put to bed.

Unfortunately, it looks like I’ll have to part ways with my Prime 4+. As good as it looks on paper, Denon just hasn’t polished it properly. Sadly, I’ll have to go back to where I came from… It’s a shame, because there are many things I really liked about this system and device, but too many features are poorly implemented.

good luck with your endeavours :+1:t3:

Don’t give up too quickly, there’s no guarantee that the display won’t get bigger with updates, especially if there’s constant pressure from the community.

Don’t have a Prime4 to check, but different layouts don’t give better results?

Si, es una pena que no podamos realizar mas zoon en la visualización de ondas.

También es una pena que no podamos dar mas utilidad a la pantalla del jog wel, para visualizar como se hace en pioneer.

También es una pena que no podamos ver en la pantalla en que minuto esta situado el hot-cue

También es una pena que no podamos ver en la pantalla el tiempo de la canción en positivo en un deck y en el otro en negativo

GRACIAS DENON

Hi, do you have contacts with the Denon Dj dev team ?

We should work together. Coding font size is easy.

This forum is the contact, post your suggestions here and they will consider them. Im not sure they will be looking for people to do their coding for them however.

Yep, but we ask it for long now. Clock Font size selection button please…

It’s a funny ol’ trend that when some former competitor brings out a new model with a new over inflated price tag, with all the associated “influencer”(lol) videos or reviews or “game changer”(yawn) type e-tat from Hijax or Fidget-all DJ quips… we get these sorts of “I’m jumping ship” posts for, quite frankly, trivial reasons

Hehe yes, I see it on other (non DJ ) forums too:

“I bought a thing and it doesn’t do this, so unless you make it do this immediately, I’m using another thing and never coming here again!”

Reminiscent of the childhood “I’m going in and taking my ball with me” :rofl:

I know it’s unlikely, but maybe in the future it could be added as one of the optional views — similar to how Serato looks on the Prime 4. Not everything, just the track view with the large time display.

I agree , I’m new to the prime 4+ and bought it online without playing with one first, looked great on paper but it’s not working for me.

I love Denon gear I really do (still rocking my mcx7000) but I don’t see many other choices for standalone units other than pioneer, I don’t need all the hype associated with pioneer I just want a player that fits my needs.

It’s not for me about jumping ships really, just what I need , just what works for me.
