About discs created on computers
Depending on the application settings and the computer's environ-
mental 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.
