■The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM or HD DVD-RW media will be affected by the quality of the disc itself and the way in which it is used.
■There are two types of DVD-R media available, authoring discs and general use discs. Do not attempt to use authoring discs as only general use discs can be written to by a computer drive.
■You can use both DVD-RAM discs that can be removed from a cartridge and DVD-RAM discs designed without a cartridge.

■Data deleted/erased from a CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM or HD DVD-RW disc cannot be recovered. You must check the content of the disc carefully before you delete it, taking care that, if multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, you do not delete data from the wrong one.
