Sony		data, but once only.
	To achieve optimum performance when writing data on a CD-RW disc, follow these recommendations:

❑Before writing to a new CD-RW, you must first format the disc. If you do not format the disc, your computer will not recognize it.

❑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.

❑For best results, use the CD-Rs that are compatible with 4x speed, as the software pre-installed on your computer is preset to that speed. Your VAIO notebook does not support 1x-writing speed.

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

❑Exit anti-virus software before writing data to a disc.

❑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 pre-installed software.
