Wireless DJ - Hardware

[mdimbler]

I posted the question after searching many of the Logitech forums because the receivers are not on the website, nor is there any specific mention of the PC system or iPod system receivers working with the newer WDJ system.  Before I purchased one of the other systems, I wanted to be sure it would integrate into my current WDJ system.

The Wireless Receiver has been discussed and will work with the Wireless DJ, try here for example:

I called Customer Support in the US yesterday and was informed that the old additional receivers from the PC system, which are referenced in this thread, had been taken off the market and were no longer available.  

The Support rep, who, by the way, was extremely nice, also told me that the plans to introduce additional receivers specifically for the WDJ had been scrapped.  In fact the entire WDJ system is going to be short lived for Logitech, as they are going to get behind the Squeezebox product, which I gather Logitech has recently acquired. 

I asked him if Logitech would continue to support the WDJ, which he assured me they would.  But I don't expect that we'll see much further firmware development.

I really like my WDJ, but had I known that it was going to be replaced by another product so quickly, I would have waited.

If this is the case, then many users will be horrified I am sure, I know I am now very concerned. If it is clear that the device is not performing reasonably then people should be returning the product if it is not going to be supported for much longer. Of course Logitech are highly unlikely to announce such a limited future for the device, as this would affect sales. BillR et al.... you are always very supportive of users and respond regularly, any comment on this statement from Logitech?

Hey all.  I'm not sure what the agent exactly communicated but we are releasing another release to add Vista support and fix some issues..  We are going to continue to support this product.

That's good news.....but to get back to the subject of the Thread...what is the situation regarding additional receivers? Have they (1) been discontinued are (2) can we expect a new (more stylish) one for the DJ?

If (2) then I'd be placing an order for 2 additional receivers....but if (1) I'd be wanting my money back for the DJ, because I bought it on the understanding I would be able to get additional receivers in the future!

Currently, we don't have any additional receivers available.  I'll update you as soon as I get more information on this.

Hi all,

The wireless music receiver works great with logitech wireless DJ. I found the cheapest way to do this was to buy a logitech wireless ipod system off EBAY, it was new and shipped from america. It cost me £18 and included the receiver, an ipod transmitter and postage!

I guess now I'll have to buy an iPod though

Any further info on additional recievers? 

I purchased this product with the belief that additional receivers would be available.
