Observing the copyright warning

It is a criminal offense, under applicable copyright laws, to make unauthorized copies of copyright- protected material, including computer programs, films, broadcasts, and sound recordings. Do not use this computer for such purposes.

Copying a CD or DVD

1.Select Start > All Programs > CyberLink DVD Suites > Power2Go.

2.Insert the disc you want to copy into the optical drive.

3.Click the Copy Disc icon located towards the top of the screen, and then click Copy Disc located on the left-side of the screen.

Power2Go reads the source disc and copies the data to a temporary folder on your hard drive.

After the information is copied, the disc you created ejects automatically.

Creating (burning) a CD, DVD, or BD

CAUTION: Observe the copyright warning. It is a criminal offense, under applicable copyright laws,

to make unauthorized copies of copyright-protected material, including computer programs, films, broadcasts, and sound recordings. Do not use this computer for such purposes.

If your optical drive is a CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD±RW optical drive, you can use software such as Windows Media Player to burn data and audio files, including MP3 and WAV music files.

Observe the following guidelines when burning a CD, DVD, or BD:

Before burning a disc, save and close any open files and close all programs.

A CD-R or DVD-R is usually best for burning audio files because after the information is copied, it cannot be changed.

Because some home and car stereos will not play CD-RWs, use CD-Rs to burn music CDs.

A CD-RW or DVD-RW is generally best for burning data files or for testing audio or video recordings before you burn them to a CD or DVD that cannot be changed.
