Before writing or rewriting

Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite the data.

❑We recommend the following manufacturers of CD-R and CD-RW media. Media quality can affect write or rewrite success rates.

CD-R: TAIYOYUDEN CO.,LTD.

Mitsui Chemicals Inc.

MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL CORPORATION

RICOH Co.,Ltd.

Hitachi Maxell Ltd.

CD-RW: MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL CORPORATION

RICOH Co.,Ltd.

TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of the manufac- turers above. Operation of other media cannot be guaranteed.

❑CD-RW can generally be rewritten about 1,000 times. However, the actual number of rewrites is affected by the quality of the media and the way it is used.

❑Be sure to connect the universal AC adaptor when you write or rewrite.

❑Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing software.

❑Do not run software such as a screen saver which can put a heavy load on the CPU.

❑Operate the computer at full power. Do not use power-saving features.

❑Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish, then disable virus detection programs including any software that checks files automatically in the background.

❑Do not use hard disk utilities, including those intended to enhance HDD access speed. They may cause unstable operation and damage data.

❑Write from the computer's HDD to the CD. Do not try to write from shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network device.

❑Writing with software other than Drag'n Drop CD has not been confirmed. Therefore, operation with other software cannot be guaranteed.

When writing or rewriting

Note the following when you write or rewrite a CD-R or CD-RW.

❑Always copy data from the HDD to the CD. Do not use cut-and-paste. The original data will be lost if there is a write error.
