Operating Basics

■

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, DVD-RW, DVD+RW or DVD-

RAM media will be affected by the quality of the disc itself and the way

in which it is used.

■

There are two types of DVD-R media available, authoring discs and

general use discs. Do not attempt to use authoring discs as only

general use discs can be written to by a computer drive.

■

You can use both DVD-RAM discs that can be removed from a cartridge

and DVD-RAM discs designed without a cartridge.

■

You may find that other computer DVD-ROM drives or other DVD

players may not be able to read DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW,

DVD+R, DVD+R (Double Layer) or DVD+RW discs.

■

Data written to a CD-R, DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD+R or

DVD+R (Double Layer) discs cannot be deleted either in whole or in

part.

■

Data deleted/erased from a CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW or DVD-RAM

disc cannot be recovered. You must check the content of the disc

carefully before you delete it, taking care that, if multiple drives that can

write data to discs are connected, you do not delete data from the

wrong one.

■

In writing to DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R

(Double Layer), DVD+RW or DVD-RAM media, some space is required

for file management, so you may not be able to write to the full capacity

of the disc.
