To achieve optimum performance when writing data on a DVD-RW disc, follow these recommendations:

❑To make a DVD-R’s data readable on another DVD-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 disc 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.

❑When using a software application to burn DVDs, 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.
