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 manufac-
turers 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.
