Notes on writing data to a disc

❑Use only Sony Value-added software to write data to a disc. (e.g. Click to DVD) Other software programs may not be fully compatible and errors may result.

❑To make data on a disc readable on the optical disc drive, you need to close the session before you eject it. To complete this process, follow the instructions included with your software.

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

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

❑Deactivate the screen saver and exit anti-virus software before writing data to a disc.

❑Do not use memory-resident utility software while writing data to a disc. This may cause your computer to malfunction.

❑When using your 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.

❑Do not switch power modes while using the preinstalled software or any disc burning software.

❑Never affix an adhesive label to a disc. This will affect the use of the disc irreparably.

❑Make sure you use the same disc burning software to add data to a used disc. Use of different disc burning software for additional data burning may cause a failure. For example, if you have a disc with data that you burned with the Roxio Easy Media Creator software, use the Roxio Easy Media Creator software to add some data to the same disc.
