Playback of discs created on a computer or DVD recorder

Depending on the application’s settings and the computer’s environment set- tings, it may not be possible to play discs created on a computer. Record discs in a format playable on the CDJ-2000. For details, contact your application’s selling agent.

It may not be possible to play discs created on a computer or DVD recorder due to the disc’s properties, scratches or dirt, or poor recording quality (dirt on the recording lens, etc.).

See Handling discs on page 30 for instructions on handling discs.

Creating backup discs

When CD-R/-RW, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R DL (dual layer) and DVD+R DL (dual layer) discs are paused or left in the pause mode at cue points for long periods of time, it may become difficult to play the disc that point, due to the properties of the disc. When a specific point is looped repeatedly an extremely large number of times, it may become difficult to play that point.

When playing valuable discs, we recommend making backup discs.
