NOTE: This drive cannot use discs that allow writing of 8 speeds or more
(DVD-R, DVD+R ), 4 speeds or more (DVD-RW, DVD+RW)
If the disc is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting errors may
occur. Be careful to check the disc for dirt or dama ge before you use it.
The actual number of rewrites to CD-R/RW , DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW is affected
by the quality of the disc and the way it is used.
There are two types of DVD-R discs: authoring and general use discs. Do not
use authoring discs. Only general use discs can be written to by a computer
drive.
Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be able
to read DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW discs.
Data written to a CD-R/DVD-R/DVD+R disc cannot be deleted either in whole
or in part.
Data deleted (erased) from a CD-RW and DVD-RW, DVD+RW disc cannot be
recovered. Check the content of the disc carefully before you delete it. If
multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be careful not to
delete data from the wrong drive.
In writing to a DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW disc, some disc space is required for
file management, so you may not be able to write the full capacity of the disc.
Since the disc is based on the DVD standard, it might be filled with dummy data
if the written data is less than about 1 GB. Even if you write only a small amount
of data, it might take time to fill in the dummy data.
When multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be careful not
to write to the wrong drive.
