• The range of available write speeds can sometimes be limited by the type
of media being used. In such a case, the BR-1200CD will allow you to
select only the supported speeds.
• If an error occurs, try changing the write speed and then carry out the
writing process over again.
• The actual time required to complete writing to a disc will be longer than
the time calculated from the write speed. The data is converted into CD
format during the writing process, and this accounts for the extra time
requirement.
