■The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW is affected by the quality of the disc 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 Sonic RecordNow! has not been confirmed. Therefore, operation with other software cannot be guaranteed.
