Toshiba M40 user manual When writing or rewriting

Writing CD/DVDs on DVD+-R/+-RW drive supporting DVD+R DL

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

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

◆When multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be careful not to write to the wrong drive.

◆Be sure to connect the universal AC adaptor before you write or rewrite.

◆Write from the computer’s HDD to the CD/DVD. Do not try to write from shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network device.

◆Writing with software other than RecordNow! is not recommended.
