Precautions for using Drag’n Drop CD+DVD software

•Close all other CD or DVD writing software before using Drag’n Drop CD+DVD software to write data.

•The boxes of the Drag’n Drop CD+DVD software become transparent and can no longer be seen after a DVD or CD is ejected from this drive,

or when a certain amount of time elapses. To always display the boxes,

right-click in the taskbar and add a check to [Shows Boxes].

•When using Drag’n Drop CD+DVD software to write data, you cannot use DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R, or CD-RW discs preformatted with packet writing software such as DirectCD® (including commercially available preformatted discs). However, it is possible to use preformatted DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and CD-RW discs by deleting the format with the “Erase RW disc...” function in Drag’n Drop CD+DVD software. To use this function, right-click one of the “Drag’n Drop CD+DVD” boxes, and select “Erase RW disc...” from the menu that appears.

•When backing up rewritable DVD media, it is recommended that you use the same type of DVD media as the original disk. For details, refer to the Drag’n Drop CD+DVD online help or the website.

•To play music CDs created on CD-R or CD-RW disc, the playback equipment must support these types of media.

•It may be illegal to make copies of data, video, or audio whose copyright you do not own or for which you have not received permission from the copyright holder.
