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.
