Using CD-R and CD-RW discs

The CD-RW can write to both CD-R and CD-RW discs. CD-RW discs can be
erased and reused many times, while CD-R discs can be written to only once.

Notes:

1.

CD-R discs are playable on audio CD players. CD-RW discs are playable
only on some audio CD players.

2.

CD-R media is rated by write-speed. For 24x write mode, 24x media is
required. For best results, limit write-speed to the media speed rating. The
Record Now Software included in the option kit will allow you to limit the
maximum recording speed. Tor more information go to “Limiting recording
speed” on page 1-13.

3.

CD-RW media is also rated by write-speed. The IBM 24X/10X/40X Max
drive supports writing only CD-RW discs rated at 4x or higher. The
maximum write speed will be printed on the media packaging or media
disc.

4.

The following table shows the compatibility matrix for high and low speed
media:
