Before writing or rewriting

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

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 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 RecordNow! has not been confirmed. Therefore, operation with other software cannot be guaranteed.
