CD-R/CD-RW MEDIA
When using the external CD-RW to record your own CDs, you can use both CD-R disc and CD-RW
discs. The CD-R/CD-RW discs must comply with the Orange Book Part II standard.
Media Compatibility
CD-R discs are readable by CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW drives. CD-RW discs are only readable by
Multi-Read CD-ROM drives, CD-RW drives, and some CD-R drives. The readability of data discs on
various systems will also be affected by the filenames/file system selected, and the operating system(s)
under which the disc is written and read.
Care Of Discs
For best result of recording and also the care of the CD Discs, read the following notes cautiously
before using the external CD-RW.
♦ When loading a disc, allow time for the door to open and then gently insert the disc.
♦ Handle discs only by the outer and inner edges.
♦ Never write on either side of a disc with a ballpoint pen or pencil. To label CD-R/CD-RW discs, use
only markers or label specifically designed for CD-R/CD-RW media.
♦ Do not store a disc in places with high temperature and humidity. Do not place the disc under direct
sunlight. Store discs in their cases to prevent dust contamination, scratches, bending and other
damage.
♦ When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out. Do not
use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static fluids. Using
fluids of these types may damage the disc.
♦ Blank discs are separately available through your dealer.
♦ Unloading a disc after recording might take some time, because the drive has to update the TOC
before the disc can be ejected.
