Operating Basics 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. ■ Writing with software other than Sonic RecordNow! has not been confirmed. Therefore, operation with other software cannot be guaranteed." When writing or rewriting Note the following when you write or rewrite a CD-R or CD-RW. ■ Always copy data from the Hard disk drive to the CD. Do not use cut-and- paste. The original data will be lost if there is a write error. ■ Do not perform any of the following actions: ■ Change users in the Windows XP operating system. ■ Operate the computer for any other function, including use of a mouse or TouchPad, closing/opening the LCD panel. ■ Start a communication application, such as a modem. ■ Apply impact or vibration to the PC. ■ Install, remove or connect external drives, including the following: PC card, USB devices, external display, i.LINK devices, optical digital devices. ■ Open the optical media drive. ■ Remove the optical media drive from the Slim Select Bay (TECRA S2 series only). ■ If the media is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting errors may occur. ■ Set the computer on a level surface and avoid places subject to vibration, such as airplanes, trains, or cars. Do not use an unstable surface, such as a stand. ■ Keep mobile phones and other wireless communication devices away from the computer. TECRA A3/S2 4-17
