Operating Basics
■
If the disc is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting errors
may occur. Be careful to check the disc for dirt or damage before you
use it.
■
The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW or DVD-
RAM is affected by the quality of the disc and the way it is used.
■
There are two types of DVD-R discs: authoring and general use discs.
Do not use authoring discs. Only general use discs can be written to by
a computer drive.
■
We can support only format 1 of DVD-R DL. Therefore you can not do
the additional writing. If your data is under DVD-R(SL) capacity, we
suggest to use DVD-R(SL) media.
■
You can use DVD-RAM discs that can be removed from a cartridge and
DVD-RAM discs designed without a cartridge. You cannot use a disc
with a 2.6 GB single-sided capacity or 5.2 GB double-sided capacity.
■
Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be
able to read DVD-R/-R DL/-RW or DVD+R/+R DL/+RW discs.
■
Data written to a CD-R/DVD-R/DVD+R disc cannot be deleted either in
whole or in part.
