Reading and writing CDs and DVDs
To achieve optimum performance when writing data on to disc (also called 'burning'), follow these recommendations:
❑
To make the data on a disc readable on an optical drive, you need to close the session when you eject it. To complete this
process, follow the instructions included with your software.
❑
Only use circular discs. Do not use discs with any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage the disc drive.
❑
Do not strike or shake the computer while writing data to a disc.
❑
For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screensaver before writing data to a disc.
❑
Memory-resident disc utilities may cause unstable operation or data loss. Deactivate these utilities before writing data to a disc.
❑
When using your software application to burn discs, make sure you exit and close all other applications.
❑
Never touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause writing errors.
❑
Do not put your VAIO computer into a power saving mode while using the pre-installed software or while using the CD burning
software.
❑
Never put labels on discs. This will affect the use of the disc irreparably.
