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 or DVD-RW/+RW/-RAM is

affected by the quality of the disc and the way it is used.

There are two types of DVD-R: 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/-RW/+RW/-RAM discs.

Data written to a CD-R/DVD-R/+R disc cannot be deleted either in

whole or in part.

Data deleted (erased) from a CD-RW and DVD-RW/+RW/-RAM disc

cannot be recovered. Check the content of the disc carefully before you

delete it. If multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be

careful not to delete data from the wrong drive.
