Be careful to check the disc for dirt or damage before you use it. ■ The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW or DVD-RW/+RW is affected by the quality of the disc and the way it is used. ■ There are two types of DVD-R: authoring and general use discs. Do not use authoring discs. Only general use discs can be written to by a computer drive. ■ Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be able to read DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW discs. ■ Data written to a CD-R/DVD-R/+R disc cannot be deleted either in whole or in part. ■ Data deleted (erased) from a CD-RW and DVD-RW/+RW disc cannot be recovered. Check the content of the disc carefully before you delete it. If multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be careful not to delete data from the wrong drive. ■ In writing to a DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW disc, some disc space is required for file management, so you may not be able to write the full capacity of the disc. ■ Since the disc is based on the DVD-R/-RW standard, it will be filled with dummy data if the written data is less than about 1 GB. Even if you write only a small amount of data, it might take time to fill in the dummy data. ■ Two types of DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW discs are on the market: data and video. Use a video disc to store video data. You can use video discs on a DVD recorder as well as on your computer's DVD-ROM drive. You cannot use data discs on a DVD recorder.. ■ When multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be careful not to write to the wrong drive. ■ Be sure to connect the universal AC adaptor before you write or rewrite.
