DVD Writer records data on the disc by applying laser light onto the surface of the disc, and therefore writing errors may occur if you use a damaged disc, for example. Be sure to eliminate the following error-causing elements before you start writing.

* The following settings are recommended for all DVD Writer.

Avoid a situation that requires multitasking, and remove turn off the screen saver.

A buffer underrun may occur if the system multitasks while the DVD Writer is writing/erasing.

Block any outside attempt to access the host PC during a writing session.

An error may occur if another user accesses the printer connected to his/her system via the network during a writing session.

Disable the CD Autorun feature of the CD.

Inserting an Autorun enabled CD in to another drive connected to the same system during a writing/erasing session may cause an error.

It is recommended that you use the image file format when you write a large number of small- sized files.

When there is a large number of small-sized files to write, the system's transfer rate drops and the Superlink feature works at a more frequent rate, resulting in lower writing quality.

If you are doing a CD-to-CD write, it is not necessary to check to see if you have available space on your hard disc beforehand.

However, in the case of image files, it is recommended that you be sure you have at least twice the amount of space needed for the data on your hard disc, as image files are copied to the hard disc before they are copied to the media.

Use a regulation-length (50cm) or shorter S-ATA cable.

Using an S-ATA cable longer than 50cm may cause a transmission error.

Do not use more than one type of writing software.

Before you install a writing program, be sure to first uninstall existing versions of the program or other writing program(s) and reboot the system first.

(The Windows operating system may be damaged if you install the Korean version while the English version remains on the system.)

It is recommended to use the data recording software provided by Samsung. You may experience an error if you use other recording software.

The disc has bad properties data, and or there are other discs with different properties available under the same ID.

The drive's write strategy is set in a way that the drive examines to examine the disc properties and determines the optimal write conditions for those properties.

For example, many disc makers do not bother to insert property information distinguishing 48X discs from 32X discs. Since the two types of discs have the same properties data, although they actually have different properties, it is often impossible to respond to the situation with a single write strategy. In order to ensure stable writing, it is necessary to downgrade the write speed.

If discs from two different disc makers have the same write speed according to the labels, but actually have different write speeds, it is necessary to downgrade the write speed to ensure stable writing.

Samsung' s Standards for Write Speed Restriction.

Write speed is downgraded for the sake of write stability, if high-speed discs

Standard 1 available in the market have particularly bad properties data, or there are low-speed discs available under the same ID.

Speed-restricted discs go through further examination and adjustments
