Use the type of discs recommended for your disc drive, and
avoid soiling or scratching them. Reading and recording may
not be possible with dirty or scratched discs.
Discs that are incompatible with the disc drive may not be
recognised, or recording may not be possible.
The recording speeds (2x, 4x, etc.) for drives and discs indicate
