■

If the disc is poor in quality, or is dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting

errors may be noted - ensure that you check all discs for dirt or damage

before you use them.

■

The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW media will be affected by the

quality of the disc itself and the way in which it is used.

■

Data written to a CD-R disc cannot be deleted either in whole or in part.

■

Please refer to the
