Issues Relevant to the Burner

This section only concerns devices supplied with a CD-RW, a combination CD/DVD
read drive or a DVD-RW drive. First some information about blank discs
11.4.1. Blank CDs and DVDs
Normal CDs are pressed by a glass master and then sealed. With blank discs, digi-
tal information is burned onto them using the drive's laser. They are therefore more
sensitive then conventional discs.
Because of this, it is essential to avoid, particularly in the case of unused blanks:
• exposure to direct sunlight (UVA/UVB radiation)
• scratches and damage
• extreme temperatures
