Helpful Tips; Hyper-Threading - Dell MTC2 User Manual

Helpful Tips

• Use Microsoft
after you start Sonic RecordNow and open a RecordNow project.
• You must 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.
• You cannot create audio DVDs with Sonic RecordNow.
• Music MP3 files can be played only on MP3 players or on computers that have MP3
software installed.
• 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 650-MB blank CD. The CD-RW drive needs 1 or 2 MB of the
blank CD to finalize the recording.
• 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.
• See the Sonic support website at support.sonic.com for additional information.
