CAUTION:
to make unauthorized copies of copyright-protected material, including computer programs, films,
broadcasts, and sound recordings. Do not use this computer for such purposes.
If your external optical drive is a CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD±RW optical drive, you can use software
such as Windows Media Player to burn data and audio files, including MP3 and WAV music files.
Observe the following guidelines when burning a CD or DVD:

● A CD-RW or DVD-RW is generally best for burning data files or for testing audio or video recordings
before you burn them to a CD or DVD that cannot be changed.
● DVD players used in home systems usually do not support all DVD formats. Refer to the user guide

or on computers with MP3 software installed.
