HP a257c (US/CAN), 716n (US) Can’t add data files to my DVD, My music CD won’t play in my stereo

I can’t add data files to my DVD

When you create a data CD in RecordNow, data files can be added in later recording sessions until the disc is full. If you want record data to a DVD in multiple sessions, you must set the correct recording option. To do this, insert your data disc, open RecordNow, click the Options button, select the Advanced tab, and then select the multiple session recording option.

My music CD won’t play in my stereo

If your CD won’t play in your home or car stereo, try the following:

■Use a CD-R, not a CD-RW disc.

■Try another CD brand or check to see if the brand of disc works with your stereo. Check the documentation that came with your CD player and check the manufacturer’s Web site.

■If you are creating music CDs from MP3 or WMA audio files, those files need to be converted to WAV or CDA music files before recording.

■Use a CD instead of a DVD. You can record audio files to a DVD to be played on your PC, but you cannot create a music DVD to be played in a home or car CD player.

The titles of my music tracks don’t appear on my CD

You must be connected to the Internet for the artist, title, and track information to appear when playing your music CD in Windows Media Player or when recording your music CD in RecordNow. If you are not connected to the Internet, the music tracks are displayed as Track 1, Track 2, etc.

Note: Artist, title, and track information cannot be recorded to disc in RecordNow.
