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.

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.
