Helpful Tips

®
• Use Microsoft
Roxio Creator and open a Creator project.
• Do not burn a blank CD-R or CD-RW to its maximum capacity; for example, do not copy a 650-MB
file to a blank 650-MB CD. The CD-RW drive needs 1–2 MB of the blank space to finalize the
recording.
• Use CD-Rs to burn music CDs that you want to play in regular stereos. CD-RWs do not play in most
home or car stereos.
• Music MP3 files can be played only on MP3 players or on computers that have MP3 software installed.
• Use a blank CD-RW to practice CD recording until you are familiar with CD recording techniques. If
you make a mistake, you can erase the data on the CD-RW and try again. You can also use blank
CD-RWs to test music file projects before you record the project permanently to a blank CD-R.
• You cannot create audio DVDs with Roxio Creator.
• Commercially available DVD players used in home theater systems may not support all available DVD
formats. For a list of formats supported by your DVD player, see the documentation provided with your
DVD player or contact the manufacturer.
• Commercially available BD players used in home theater systems may not support all available BD
formats. For a list of formats supported by your BD player, see the documentation provided with your
BD player or contact the manufacturer.
• See the Roxio website at www.sonic.com for additional information.
