Recording Methods - Sony CRX10U User Manual

Writing Speeds
The writing speed for a CD-R or CD-RW disc should be set so that it
does not exceed the speed specified for the particular disc media. You
can set the writing speed in the writer software.
Recommended Discs
We recommend using Sony discs with the CRX10U.
CD-R: Sony 650 MB and 700 MB CD Recordable discs
CD-RW: Sony 650 MB CD ReWritable discs
For trouble-free 4 CD-RW recording, make sure the CD-RW media
supports 4 or faster recording speed.
CAUTION
• The CRX10U is not capable of writing high-speed CD-RW discs. However, high-speed
CD-RW discs that have been properly written using a high-speed CD-RW drive can be
read by the CRX10U.
• The CRX10U cannot be used to write 99 minute discs or 8 cm CD-R discs.

Recording Methods

The CRX10U is capable of writing CD-R/CD-RW discs using several
different formats. The writing format is determined by the writer
software according to the type or application of the disc being created.
Data can usually be written to CD-R and CD-RW discs using the
standard settings of the writer software, with no need for concern about
the writing format. The writing methods supported by the CRX10U are
briefly described here. Refer to the manual for the writer software you
are using for more details.
• Disc at Once: this recording method writes the entire disc in a single
operation. Data cannot be added later.
• Session at Once: a complete session is written in a single operation
(one at a time). Data can be added in later sessions.
• Track at Once: tracks are written to the disc incrementally (one at a
time). Data can be added in later tracks.
• Packet Writing: data is written in file and folder units, instead of track
or session units. This allows writing as simply as drag-and-drop
copying of files or folders.
