■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 or DVD-RW/+RW/-RAM is affected by the quality of the disc and the way it is used.
■There are two types of DVD-R: 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 2.6 GB single-sided capacity or 5.2 GB double-sided capacity.
■Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be able to read DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM discs.
■Data written to a CD-R/DVD-R/+R disc cannot be deleted either in whole or in part.
■Data deleted (erased) from a CD-RW and DVD-RW/+RW/-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/+R/-RW/+RW 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-R/-RW 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.
■Two types of DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM discs are on the market: data and video. Use a video disc to store video data. You can use video discs on a DVD recorder as well as on your computer's DVD-ROM drive. You cannot use data discs on a DVD recorder.
■DVD-RAM formatted by FAT32 cannot be read in Windows 2000 without DVD-RAM Driver Software.
■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 adapter before you write or rewrite.
■Before you enter standby/hibernation mode, be sure to finish DVD-RAM writing. Writing is finished if you can eject DVD-RAM media.
■Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing software.
