Caution
Data may be corrupted when burning CD-R or CD-RW!
Burning operation is permissible only in an undisturbed environment, i.e. shock and vibration
stress must be avoided. Because of heavy fluctuation in the quality of CD-Rs, data may be
corrupted in a burning session, even if no error message is initially displayed. The written
data can only be verified by comparing these with the source. To be on the safe side, data
should be verified after every burning session.
