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 Format1 of DVD-R DL. Therefore you cannot do

the additional writing. If your data is under 4.7GB, 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 can not use a disc

with a 2.6GB single-sided capacity and 5.2GB double-sided capacity.

■

Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be

able to read DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW discs.

■

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

whole or in part.

■

Data deleted (erased) from a CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW and

DVD-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.

■

In writing to a DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW or DVD-RAM disc, some disc

space is required for file management, so you may not be able to write

the full capacity of the disc.
