About discs created on computers

Depending on the application settings and the computer’s environmental settings, it may not be possible to play certain discs. Record the disc in a format supported on this unit. For details, contact your application’s retailer.

If the recording quality is poor due to the disc’s properties, scratches or dirt on the disc or dirt on the recording lens, it may not be possible to play the disc.

Creating backup discs

When CD-R/-RW 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 at that point, due to the properties of the disc. Also, 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.

About Copy Control CDs and DualDiscs

This unit is designed to CD standards. Operation and performance of discs with standards other than CD standards is not guaranteed.

About 8 cm single CDs

8 cm single CDs cannot be played on the CDJ-850. Do not mount 8 cm adapters on CDs and play them on the CDJ-850. The adapter could fall off as the disc spins, damaging the disc or the player.
