www.dell.com | support.dell.com Using Blank CD-Rs and CD-RWs Your CD-RW drive can write to two different types of recording media-CD-Rs and CD-RWs. Use blank CD-Rs to record music or permanently store data files. After creating a CD-R, you cannot write to that CD-R again without changing your method of recording (see the Sonic documentation for more information). Use blank CD-RWs to write to CDs or to erase, rewrite, or update data on CDs. Helpful Tips • Use Microsoft® Windows® Explorer to drag and drop files to a CD-R or CD-RW only 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. Connecting a Television to the Computer NOTE: Video and audio cables for connecting your computer to a television are not included with your computer. Cables may be purchased at most consumer electronics stores. Your computer has an S-video TV-out connector that enables you to connect the computer to a television. Using a commercially available S-video cable or composite video cable, you can connect the computer to a television in one of two ways: • S-video (for a television with S-video input) • Composite video (for a television with only a composite video input; also uses the Dell-supplied composite TV-out adapter cable) NOTE: Diagrams for each connection combination appear at the beginning of each subsection to help you determine which method you should use. 50 Using CDs, DVDs, and Other Multimedia
