Disclaimer
TOSHIBA does not bear responsibility for the following:
n Damage to any CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW,
DVD+R, DVD+R (Double Layer), DVD+RW or DVD-RAM disc that may be
caused by writing or rewriting with this product.
n Any change or loss of the recorded contents 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 that may be caused by writing or rewriting with this product,
or for any business profit loss or business interruption that may be caused by
the change or loss of the recorded contents.
n Damage that may be caused by using third party equipment or software.
Given the technological limitations of current optical disc writing drives, you may
experience unexpected writing or rewriting errors due to disc quality or problems
with hardware devices. In view of this, it is good practice to make two or more
copies of important data, in case of any undesired change or loss of the recorded
contents.
n Use only round standard (12 cm) discs with this slot-loading optical drive.
Any other size or shape disc may not be able to be removed from the slot
and may damage the system as well as the disc.
n 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.
