Notes on writing data to a disc

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 the optical disc drive is writing data to a disc.

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

Do not plug or unplug the AC adapter while the optical disc drive is writing data to a disc.

Notes on playing discs

To achieve optimum performance when playing discs, you should follow these recommendations.

Some CD players and computer optical disc drives may not be able to play audio CDs created with the CD-R or CD-RW media.

Some DVD players and computer optical disc drives may not be able to play DVDs created with the DVD+R DL, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM media.

Do not place your computer into either of the power saving modes while your computer is playing a disc.

Region code indicators are labeled on the discs or packages to indicate in which region and on what type of player you can play the disc. If the region code indicates "all," you can play this disc in most regions of the world. If the region code for your residence area is different from the label, you cannot play the disc on your computer.
