Using the Drive

Use the supplied software with the drive. Refer to the instruction of each software for details about their operation.

Using Generic Software with the Drive

Using software other than the supplied software (such as generic software, shareware, or freeware) to write data to disc with this drive is not under warranty and Sony offers no customer service if problems arise from using such software.

Make sure that the supplied writing software and generic writing software do not coexist on your computer. Taking appropriate steps to avoid this situation, especially in the case of packet writing software or a format utility will help prevent erratic operation of the software and/or computer.

If the generic software you are using does not detect the drive correctly, visit the Web site of the software manufacturer and update the software, as this may solve the problem.
