2The setting of the Windows Media Player.

Start “Windows Media Player.”

Click “Tools” on the Menu and click on “Options” to open the “Options” window, then click on the “CD Audio” tab.

Uncheck the “Digital playback” check box.

If your CD writing software supports the Buffer Underrun Protection, you must activate the Buffer Underrun Protection. For more details, refer to the documentation that came with your CD writing software.

For more effective writing, and to avoid causing “Buffer Underrun,” try the following:

Lower the writing speed setting.

Create an image file of the CD on the computer’s hard disk.

Optimize the hard drive (Defragment the drive).

When writing, close other applications (including screen savers, etc.).

Turn hard disk power management off.

Select “Sync data transfer” for the transfer mode setting of the SCSI devices, such as a hard drive, or a CD-ROM drive, etc. (P. 19)

For IDE devices, select “DMA” for the setting of transfer mode.

Deactivate the Active Desktop (if you are using Internet Explorer 4 or later).

Close residential software.

Make sure the trouble does not stem from your CD writing software by referring to the documentation that came with it.
