TOSHIBA does not bear responsibility for the following:
■ Damage to any CD-R/RW or DVD-R/-R DL/-RW/+R/+R DL/+RW/-RAM
disc that may be caused by writing or rewriting with this product.
■ Any change or loss of the recorded contents of CD-R/RW or

Given the technological limitations of current optical disc writing drives, you
may experience unexpected writing or rewriting errors due to disc quality or
problems with hardware devices. Also, it is a good idea to make two or
more copies of important data, in case of undesired change or loss of the
recorded contents.
■ Refer to the Writable discs , Chapter 2 for the details about the types of
writable CD/DVD discs.
■ Do not turn off the power of the optical disk drive while the computer is
accessing the drive. If you turn off the power, you may lose data.
■ When the power of the optical disk drive is off, the disc tray will not
open even if the eject button is pushed.
When writing to media using an optical drive, always connect the AC
adaptor to a power plug socket. If data is written while powered by the
battery pack, writing may sometimes fail due to low battery power and data
loss may occur.
