To burn CDs, you can use CD-RW and CD-R discs:

 

 

 

 

❑ The CD-RW(CD-ReWritable) disc is a data memory medium that can be used to write, erase and rewrite

 

a program or other data.

❑ The CD-R(CD-Recordable) disc is a data memory medium that can be used to write a program or other

data, but once only.

 

 

 

 

To achieve optimum performance when writing data on a CD-RW disc, follow these recommendations:

❑To make a CD-R’s data readable on a CD-ROM drive, you need to close the session when you eject it. To complete this process, follow the instructions included with your software.

❑Only use circular discs. Do not use discs with any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage the CD-RW drive.

❑Do not strike or shake the computer while writing data to a disc.

❑For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screensaver before writing data to a disc.

❑Memory-resident disc utilities may cause unstable operation or data loss. Deactivate these utilities before writing data to a disc.

❑When using a software application to burn CDs, be sure to exit and close all other applications.

❑Never touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause writing errors.

❑Do not put your VAIO notebook into a power saving mode while using the delivered software.
