	To achieve optimum performance when writing data on a CD-RW disc, follow these recommendations :
User	￿	Before writing to a new CD-RW, you must first format the disc. If you do not format the disc, your
Notebook		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
Sony		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 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.
	￿	Always use the AC adapter as the power source for your computer when you write data to a CD-RW or
		CD-R. It is not possible to burn CDs when the CD-RW/DVD-ROM docking station is not connected to AC
		power.
