Using your notebook
Using the CD-RW/DVD-RW function
To burn CDs/DVDs, you can use CD/DVD-RW and CD/DVD-R discs:
The CD/DVD-RW (CD/DVD-ReWritable) disc is a data memory medium that can be used to write, erase
and rewrite a program or other data.
The CD/DVD-R (CD/DVD-Recordable) disc is a data memory medium that can be used to write a program
or other data, but once only.
To achieve optimum performance when writing data on a CD-RW/DVD-RW disc, follow these
recommendations:
To make a CD/DVD-R's data readable on a CD-RW/DVD-RW drive, you need to close the session when you
eject it. To complete this process, follow the instructions included with your software.
Only use circular discs. Do not use discs with any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage
the CD-RW/DVD-RW drive.
Do not strike or shake the computer while writing data to a disc.
For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screensaver before writing data to a disc.
Memory-resident disc utilities may cause unstable operation or data loss. Deactivate these utilities before
writing data to a disc.
For best results, use CD/DVD-Rs that are compatible with 4x speed, as the software pre-installed on your
computer is preset to that speed. Your VAIO notebook does not support 1x-writing speed.
When using a software application to burn CDs/DVDs, be sure to exit and close all other applications.
Never touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause writing
errors.
Do not put your VAIO notebook into a power saving mode while using the pre-installed software.
