Why does my CD-RW drive not record at the highest speed?
You must use 8x CD-R or 4x CD-RW media or higher to achieve optimum performance.
If you want to use other media and are having difficulty formatting non-4x CD-RW discs, change the writing
speed from 4x to a lower setting.
To change the writing speed from the default to a lower speed, proceed as follows:
1
Go to My Computer from the Start menu.
2
Right-click the disc drive icon.
3
Select Properties.
4
Select the Settings tab.
5
Change the Current Write Speed field.
6
Click OK.
The VAIO notebook has a maximum recording rate of 8x for CD-R and 4x for CD-RW discs.
The disc tray does not eject even when the eject button is pressed
Check that the notebook is turned on.
The CD-writing application software may be stopping the disk from being ejected.
The reading speed of CD-RWs is very slow
Generally, the reading speed of a CD-RW is slower than that of a CD-ROM or CD-R. The reading speed can
also vary depending on the type of format.
The disc tray ejects even when it has been locked into place
Ensure that the disc is placed with the label side facing up.
The disc may be scratched. Place another disc to see if that is the reason.
