Using CD-Rs and CD-RWs

The Multi-Burner Plus drive can also write to CD-R and CD-RW discs. CD-RW discs can be erased and reused many times, while CD-R discs can be written to only once. Carefully handle and clean discs, especially writable media types. Refer to “Handling and caring for a disc” on page 3-3for information on how you can prolong the life of your discs.

Notes:

1.CD-R discs are playable on most audio CD players. CD-RW discs are playable only on some audio CD players.

2.Some consumer audio players will only play discs recorded on media labeled specifically for audio.

3.CD-R media is rated by write-speed. To achieve the maximum recording speed of your drive, media rated for 40x speed or higher is required. For best results, limit write-speed to the media speed rating. The Multimedia Center for Think Offerings software included in the option kit will allow you to limit the maximum recording speed as needed.

4.CD-RW media is also rated by write-speed. The Multi-Burner Plus drive supports writing only CD-RW discs rated at 4x or higher. The maximum write speed will be printed on the media packaging or the disc itself.

5.The following table shows the Multi-Burner Plus compatibility with standard, multi, high, ultra, and ultra speed+ CD-RW media:

Media rating	Write
