Precautions when writing data to discs

zDiscs recorded in Packet Write mode or UDF (Universal Disc Format) cannot be played.

zWhen writing data to a disc, always close the session or finalize the disc. Discs that have not been finalized or that have sessions that were not closed may not play back correctly.

zDepending on the specifications of the writing software used, the recorded folder names and file names may not be displayed correctly.

zPlayback of multi-session discs or discs that contain large numbers of folders may take longer to begin than for normal discs.

zIf you write audio files and music CD tracks (CD-DA format) to the same disc, the disc may not play correctly.

zBefore writing audio files to a disc, check that the files will play back correctly on the PC being used to write the files. When writing ends, check that the written files are played back correctly.

zUse the correct file extensions (mp3, wma, m4a) in the names of audio files. Files without file extensions will not be played. Also, do not use audio file extensions (mp3, wma, m4a) for files that are not audio files.

For more information on file extensions, see “Supported Audio Files” on the right.
