Section 6 : Faqs - TDK velocd Installation And User Manual

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you have problems during or right after installation of your veloCD drive,
use these tips to help find the problem.
What media should I use for my veloCD ReWRITER?
See the Appendix.
When can I use CD-RW media?
CD-RW media is recordable only in ReWritable drives, and readable only in ReWritable drives or newer
MultiRead CD-ROMs. With CD-RW media you can:
Use as if it were a large capacity floppy disc.
•
Transport files to and from work.
•
Copy your important data periodically.
•
Store large projects as you develop them.
•
When should I use CD-R media?
CD-R media can be read in most CD-ROM or CD-Recordable drives. Use CD-R media to:
Permanently archive important data.
•
Copy your music to CD for personal use.
•
Share non-editable presentations.
•
Why can't I do disc-to-disc copying?
Some possible reasons are:
Some CD-ROM drives will not allow direct copying to the veloCD ReWRITER or are not capable of
•
digital audio extraction.
You must have either a SCSI-2 CD-ROM drive or a supported ATAPI CD-ROM drive to use as
•
your source.
Some CDs have a copy prevention feature or other features that do not allow a CD-to-CD copy.
•
Why am I getting buffer underrun errors?
Usually the "buffer underrun write assurance" option is not selected in your software. Recording CDs requires
an uninterrupted stream of data to be supplied from the source device. A buffer underrun occurs when for some
reason the data stream is interrupted. This can occur if another application interrupts the writing process, or if
the recording drive's write speed is set too high for the speed at which the source drive can supply data. Lack of
computer memory, which causes the computer to swap data to the hard drive, can also cause underrun errors.
