Reading and writing CDs and DVDs

To achieve optimum performance when writing data on to disc (also called ’burning’), follow these recommendations:

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

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

❑For optimum 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 discs, make sure you 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.

❑Never put stickers on discs. This will affect the use of the disc irreparably.
