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.
