Playback of discs created on a computer
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-900. For details, contact your application's selling
agent.
It may not be possible to play discs created on a computer due to the disc's prop-
erties, scratches or dirt, or poor recording quality (dirt on the recording lens, etc.).
See Handling discs on page 28 for instructions on handling discs.
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.
