Data verification

To verify that data is written or rewritten correctly, follow the steps below before you write or rewrite a Data CD/DVD.

1.Right-click Data BOX and select Options to display the DATA DISC Optionwindow.

2.Mark the Record and Verify check box and select Byte compare.

3.Click the OK button.

The “Record and Verify” function automatically checks whether data has been correctly recorded onto a CD/DVD. “Byte compare” compares the original data file with the data recorded on the CD/DVD and checks that the data completely matches.

Media care

This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your CD/DVDs and diskettes.

Handle your media with care. The following simple precautions will increase the lifetime of your media and protect the data stored on them:

CD/DVDs

1.Store your CD/DVDs in the container they came in to protect them and keep them clean.

2.Do not bend the CD/DVD.

3.Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mar the surface of the CD/DVD that contains data.

4.Hold the CD/DVD by its outside edge or the edge on the center hole. Finger- prints on the surface can prevent the drive from properly reading data.

5.Do not expose to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold. Do not place heavy objects on your CD/DVDs.

6.If your CD/DVDs become dusty or dirty, wipe them with a clean dry cloth. Wipe from the center out, do not wipe in a circular direction around the CD/ DVD. If necessary, use a cloth dampened in water or a neutral cleaner. Do not use benzine, thinner or similar cleaner.
