To write data to a CD-R or CD-RW disc
You can use Sony SonicStage™ software to write data to a CD-R or CD-RW
disc. To create a CD-R disc that is readable in a CD-ROM drive, make sure you
finish the writing process before ejecting it.
❑ For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screen saver and exit anti-virus
software before writing data to a disc.
❑ For best results, use CD-Rs that are compatible with 8x speed.
Notes on CD and DVD discs
❑ Do not drop or bend the disc.
❑ Do not touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a
disc may cause reading errors.
Do not use the Eject PC option in Windows® or press the UNDOCK switch on the
docking station while writing data to a CD-R or CD-RW. Doing so may severely
damage your notebook.
Do not put your notebook into power saving mode while writing data to a CD-R
or CD-RW disc.
Do not strike or shake the notebook while writing data to a disc.
Memory-resident disc utilities, such as the screen saver and virus checker, may
cause unstable operation or data loss. Deactivate these utilities (if they are
active) before writing data to a disc.
Always use the AC adapter as the power source for your notebook when you are
writing data to a CD-R or CD-RW. Using battery power may result in data
transfer failure.
