Why does my CD-RW drive not record at the highest speed? (PCG-FX702 and PCG-FX705 only)

You must use 8x CD-R or 4x CD-RW media or higher to achieve optimum performance.

If you want to use other media and are having difficulty formatting non-4x CD-RW discs, change the writing speed from 4x to a lower setting.

To change the writing speed from the default to a lower speed, proceed as follows:

1Click Start and then My Computer.

3Select Properties.

4Select the Recording tab.

5From the lower dropdown list, select the 2x write speed.

6Click Apply and then OK.
