Before writing or rewriting
Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite the data.
We recommend the following manufacturers of CD-R and CD-RW
media. Media quality can affect write or rewrite success rates.

TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of the
manufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be guaranteed.
CD-RW can generally be rewritten about 1,000 times. However, the
actual number of rewrites is affected by the quality of the media and
the way it is used.
Be sure to connect the universal AC adaptor when you write or rewrite.
Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing
software.
Do not run software such as a screen saver which can put a heavy
load on the CPU.
Operate the computer at full power. Do not use power-saving
features.
Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish,
then disable virus detection programs including any software that
checks files automatically in the background.
Do not use hard disk utilities, including those intended to enhance HDD
access speed. They may cause unstable operation and damage data.
Write from the computer's HDD to the CD. Do not try to write from
shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network device.
