Burning from an image file

The image file remains on your hard disk drive until you delete it. Since an image file is typically large, it is recommended that you delete it if you do not intend to burn additional discs.

To burn a CD or DVD from an image file using Sonic DigitalMedia Plus:

1Open the Sonic DigitalMedia Plus program by clicking Start, All Programs, Sonic, and then DigitalMedia Home.

2Click Copy and then Burn Image.

3Click Browse to select the image file.

4Insert a recordable CD or DVD into the drive.

5Click the Burn Image icon.

6Click Done when recording is complete.

Disc Labeling with LightScribe

LightScribe (select models only) is a direct disc-labeling technology providing you a simple way to burn precise, silk screen-

quality labels. It combines the CD or DVD drive of your HP Digital Entertainment Center with specially coated discs (sold separately) and enhanced disc-labeling software.

A LightScribe-enabled CD or DVD disc drive uses the optical laser in the drive to record a label onto a thin dye coating on the label side of the disc. There is no ink to smear or paper to curl, and there are no adhesives to loosen.

LightScribe media is identified by the LightScribe logo on the retail packaging and on the inner hub area of the disc itself. Your HP Digital Entertainment Center may come ready to work with many versions of LightScribe media (select models only); however, as new media versions are introduced you will need to update the driver software for your LightScribe-enabled CD or DVD drive.
