Operating Basics Writing CDs on DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive Depending on the type of drive installed, you may be able to write CDs. The DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive lets you write as well as read CD-ROMs. Observe the precautions in this section to ensure the best performance for writing CDs. For information on loading and unloading CDs refer to the Using optical disc drives section. ■ Refer to the Writable discs, Chapter 2 for the details about the types of writable CD/DVD discs. ■ Do not turn off the power of the optical disc drive while the computer is accessing the drive. If you turn off the power, you may lose data. When writing information to media using an optical drive, you should always ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to a power plug socket. It is possible that, if data is written when powered by the battery pack, the write process may sometimes fail due to low battery power - in these instances data loss may occur. 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. CD-R: TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL CORPORATION RICOH Co., Ltd. Multi-Speed and High-Speed CD-RW: MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL CORPORATION RICOH Co., Ltd. Ultra-Speed CD-RW: MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL CORPORATION TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of the manufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be guaranteed. ■ The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW media is affected by the quality of the disc and the way it is used. ■ Be sure to connect the AC adaptor when you write or rewrite.
