Before writing or rewriting
Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite the data.
■ We recommend the following manufacturers of CDR and CDRW
media. Media quality can affect write or rewrite success rates.
CDR: TAIYOYUDEN CO., LTD.
MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL CORPORATION
RICOH Co., Ltd.
Hitachi Maxell Ltd.
CDRW: MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL CORPORATION
RICOH Co., Ltd.
TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CDR and CDRW media of
the manufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be
guaranteed.
■ CDRW can generally be rewritten about 1,000 times. However, the
actual number of rewrites is affected by the quality of the media and
the way it is used.
■ Be sure to connect the universal 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.
