◆If the disc is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting errors may occur. Be careful to check the disc for dirt or dama ge before you use it.

◆The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW ,DVD-RW, DVD+RW or DVD-RAM is affected by the quality of the disc and the way it is used.

◆There are two types of DVD-R discs: authoring and general use discs. Do not use authoring discs. Only general use discs can be written to by a computer drive.

◆You can use DVD-RAM discs that can be removed from a cartridge and DVD-RAM discs designed without a cartridge. You cannot use a disc with a 4.7 GB single-sided capacity or 9.4 GB double-sided capacity.

◆In writing to a DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW or DVD-RAM disc, some disc space is required for file management, so you may not be able to write the full apacity of the disc.

◆Since the disc is based on the DVD standard, it might be filled with dummy data if the written data is less than about 1 GB. Even if you write only a small mount of data, it might take time to fill in the dummy data.

◆DVD-RAM formatted by FAT32 cannot be read in Windows 2000 without DVD-RAM Driver Software.
