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. Proper care of the disc is essential to maintain
its reliability. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray, as they may cause damage to the disc.

❑

For normal cleaning, hold the disc by its edge and use a soft cloth to wipe the
surface from the center out.

❑

If the disc is badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth with water, wring it out well,
and use it to wipe the surface of the disc from the center out. Wipe off any
remaining moisture with a dry, soft cloth.

To write data to a CD-RW or CD-R disc

*

You can use Sony SonicStage and Microsoft® Windows® XP 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 that you finish the writing process before ejecting the disc. For
more information, see the instructions included with Windows® XP.

* For notebook models equipped with a CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive.

Do not strike or shake the notebook while writing data to a disc.

Always use the AC adapter as the power source for your notebook if you are
writing data to a CD-RW or CD-R disc. Using battery power may result in data
transfer failure.
