Getting Started Guide
• As you select data files to record to your disc, Sonic DigitalMedia Plus
calculates and displays the amount of recording space used on your disc.
• If your recording fails, manually select a slower recording speed, if available,
each time you make a recording. Refer to the Help menu in your selected
software program for more information about selecting a slower recording
speed.

Creating data discs

To create data CDs or DVDs using Sonic DigitalMedia Plus:
1 Open the DigitalMedia Plus program by clicking Start, All Programs,
Sonic, and then DigitalMedia Home.
2 Click the Data tab, and then click Data Disc.
3 Do one or more of the following:
• Click Add Data and navigate to files stored on your PC.
• In the Quick Scan panel, select a type of file to search for, and then click
Scan to automatically search your PC for the selected file type.
• Insert a CD or DVD that contains the file you want to add.
4 Select the files you want to record, and then click Add.
5 To name your disc, highlight Volume Label, and then type a name over it.
Sonic DigitalMedia Plus assigns a name based on the recording date if you do
not type a name.
6 Click the Burn icon when you have added all the files to your data
project.
7 When prompted, insert a blank or appendable disc.
DVD discs can store significantly more files than a CD.
8 Click OK.
You can get detailed online Help by clicking the Help menu and then
selecting Help.
NOTE: An appendable disc can have additional files added to it, if there is disc
space available. Recorded audio CDs are closed-session discs that are not
appendable.
NOTE: You can rename your files in the file selection window by selecting and
typing over the current name. This does not affect the original files on your hard
disk drive.
NOTE: DVD discs can store significantly more files than a CD.
