Toshiba satellite pro user manual Important message, Before writing or rewriting

Operating Basics

■Please refer to the section Writable discs, Chapter 2 for details about the types of writable CD, DVD and BD discs that can be supported by this computer.

■Do not turn off the power to the optical disc drive while the computer is accessing it as this may cause you to lose data.

■CD-R/RW media cannot be accessed using the Create CD/DVD/BD option in Media Center.

■To write data to CD-R/-RW media, use the TOSHIBA Disc Creator feature that is installed on your computer.

When writing information to media using an optical drive, you should always ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to a live power socket. It is possible that, if data is written while powered by the battery pack, the write process may sometimes fail due to low battery power - in these instances data loss may occur.

Important message

Before you write or rewrite to any of the media supported by the DVD Super Multi drive or BD drive, please read and follow all of the setup and operating instructions in this section. If you fail to do so, you may find that the DVD Super Multi drive or BD drive may not function properly, and you may fail to write or rewrite information successfully. This may cause you to either lose data or incur other damage to the drive or media.

Before writing or rewriting

■Based on TOSHIBA's limited compatibility testing, we suggest the following manufacturers of CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R (Double Layer), DVD+RW or DVD- RAM media, however, it must be noted that disc quality can affect write or rewrite success rates. Please also be aware that in no event does TOSHIBA guarantee the operation, quality or performance of any disc.
