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.

could break them. Also, do not use or store SD memory cards in environ-
ments where static electricity or electric noise tends to be produced. We
recommend periodically making copies of valuable data.

data recorded by the customer on SD memory cards or other direct or indirect

may not be achieved.
