    Default CDJ 200 E-8303 Error

    Hi, i am having problems with one of my players. I am trying to play a track from an audio cd and it just doesnt seem to work and i am also getting a E-8303 error. However when i try to play the same track on a cdj-100 i can hear some minimal stuttering but the track plays! I tried re-burning the disk more than once Does anybody have any ideas on why this is happening?

    The players are trying to tell you the song is shit
    What format is it before burning it could be a cd burner conversion problem from the songs file format to audio CD format.

    found this on a google search

    E-8303
    PLAYER ERROR
    (Abnormality in writing to the buffer)

    I also found the documentation from the service manual. The point is that i really dont know whats really happening because all the music is in mp3 format when i first burnt them the cd didnt work, now i fixed the tags and run them through a mp3 validation program and burn the same mp3s on the same disks from the same company but more recently bought! And now they are working perfect so now i am starting to think that i was burning on a bad batch of blank cds....

    That conclusion makes sense because as the error has to do with the CDJ not being able to read into buffer correctly

    That happened to me with 350's and a usb stick.

    The import from rekordbox went wrong and files were not readable i guess. The problems comes from the CD imo. Re burn it and re-try.

    If the player gives you that error code with every CD (even the one you bought and didn't burn yourself), consider repairing it (lense might be broken)
