Buffer Underrun Errors

A buffer underrun error occurs when the data flow is interrupted. This type of error
can occur on single or dual optical drive systems (CD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD-ROM
drive).
CD writing is a real-time process that must run constantly at the selected recording
speed, without interruption. Because the CD recorder's buffer contains a reserve of
data waiting to be written, small slowdowns or interruptions in the flow of data will
terminate the writing process. A buffer underrun error means that for some reason the
flow of data from the source (e.g., hard disc, CD-ROM drive) to the CD recorder was
interrupted long enough for the CD recorder's buffer to be emptied, and writing was
stopped.
a
WARNING: If data flow is interrupted during an actual write operation, your recordable disc may be
damaged.
