This drive cannot use discs that allow writing of 8 speeds or more (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW ), or 6 speeds or more (DVD-RW)

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 damage 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.

We can support only Format1 of DVD-R DL. Therefore you cannot do the additional writing. If your data is under 4.7GB, we suggest to use DVD-R (SL) media.

You can use DVD-RAM discs that can be removed from a cartridge and DVD-RAM discs designed without a cartridge. You can not use a disc with a 2.6GB single-sided capacity and 5.2GB double-sided capacity.

Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be able to read DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW discs.

Data written to a CD-R/DVD-R/DVD+R disc cannot be deleted either in whole or in part.

Data deleted (erased) from a CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM disc cannot be recovered. Check the content of the disc carefully before you delete it. If multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be careful not to delete data from the wrong drive.

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 capacity of the disc.
