Operating Basics

■Write from the computer’s HDD to the DVD/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 when you write or rewrite a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM:

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

■Before you use the Erase function, make sure the DVD/CD-RW disk does not contain any data you want to keep. Erase destroys all data on the disk.

■Do not perform any of the following actions:

■Operate the computer for any other function, including use of a mouse or Touch pad, closing/opening the LCD panel.

■Start a communication application such as a modem.

■Apply impact or vibration to the PC.

■Install, remove or connect external devices, including the following:

PC card, SD card, SmartMedia, USB devices, external display, i.LINK devices, optical digital devices.

■Use the Mode control button and Audio/Video control button to reproduce music and voice.

■Open the DVD drive.

■If the media is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting errors may occur.

■Set the computer on a level surface and avoid places subject to vibration such as airplanes, trains or cars. Do not use an unstable surface such as a stand.

■Keep mobile phones and other wireless communication devices away from the computer.
