■
If the disc is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting errors
may occur. Be careful to check the disc for dirt or damage before you
use it.
■
The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW or DVD-RW/+RW/-RAM or
HD DVD-R is affected by the quality of the disc and the way it is used.
■
There are two types of DVD-R: authoring and general use discs. Do not
use authoring discs. Only general use discs can be written to by a
computer drive.
■
We can support only Format 1 of DVD-R DL. Therefore you can not do
the additional writing. If your data is under DVD-R (SL) capacity, we
suggest to use DVD-R (SL) media.
■
You can use DVD-RAM discs that can be removed from a cartridge and
DVD-RAM discs designed without a cartridge. You cannot use a disc
with a 2.6 GB single-sided capacity or 5.2 GB double-sided capacity.
■
Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be
able to read DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM discs.
■
Data written to a CD-R/DVD-R/+R disc cannot be deleted either in
whole or in part.
■ Data deleted (erased) from a CD-RW and DVD-RW/+RW/-RAM disc
cannot be recovered. Check the content of the disc carefully before you
delete it. If multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be
careful not to delete data from the wrong drive.
■
In writing to a DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW disc, some disc space is required
for file management, so you may not be able to write the full capacity of
the disc.
■
Since the disc is based on the DVD-R/-RW standard, it will be filled with
dummy data if the written data is less than about 1 GB. Even if you write
only a small amount of data, it might take time to fill in the dummy data.
■
Two types of DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM discs are on the market: data
and video. Use a video disc to store video data. You can use video
discs on a DVD recorder as well as on your computer's DVD-ROM
drive. You cannot use data discs on a DVD recorder.
■
DVD-RAM formatted by FAT32 cannot be read in Windows 2000
without DVD-RAM Driver Software.
■ When multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be
careful not to write to the wrong drive.
■
Be sure to connect the universal AC adapter before you write or rewrite.
■
Before you enter Sleep/Hibernation Mode, be sure to finish DVD-RAM
writing. Writing is finished if you can eject DVD-RAM media.
