Using the CD-RW drive (PCG-F570 only)

Your notebook comes equipped with a CD-RW drive, which enables you to read and write data, depending on the media you are using. With CD- RW media, the drive enables you to write, erase, and rewrite to the media. With a CD-R, you can write data to a disc once only. Like a CD- ROM drive, your CD-RW drive also reads a wide variety of media. The Specifications below give a complete list of compatible discs.

✍The maximum data transfer rate varies with the notebook computer’s performance.
