Technical Notes for 32X CD-R Recording

High speed recording is more demanding on both your system and media. Consequently we make the following
recommendations to get the best results:

1.  When copying a CD-ROM, copy the files to your hard disk before writing to the CD-R media.
2.  When recording from your hard disk, collect files together into a single folder before writing to the CD-R media.
3.  Ensure you only use CD-R media which supports 32X recording.
4.  Ensure the DMA function is enabled for both source and target drives.
5.  Always perform the Writing Simulation Test before writing to the CD-R media.

High Speed CD-RW Recording 4X – 12X

To write a CD-RW disk with a speed greater than 4X, you should use a ‘High Speed’ ReWritable CD-RW disk.

Operating the Memorex drive

Specific Application Software running on the computer platform in use, designed to work with the Memorex drive,
must be used in order to be able to operate the drive correctly. 

Note: Do not switch off the computer and/or the drive during the recording process, since this might result in an
unreadable disc. Please make sure that the computer has finished it’s recording process and that the Write
indicator on the front of the drive is off.

Care of Discs

When loading a disc, allow time for the door to open and then gently insert the disc. 

Handle discs only by the outer and inner edges. 

Never write with a ballpoint on the surface of the disc.

Do not store a disc in places with high temperature and humidity. Do not place the disc under direct sunlight.

Store discs in their cases to prevent dust contamination, scratches, bending and other damage.

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out. Do not use solvents

such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static fluids. Using fluids of these types may
damage the disc.

Empty discs are separately available through your dealer.

To get an optimal temperature control, you should close your PC after installing the drive. In this way the central
fan will help to cool your drive and keep performance according to specification.

Unloading a disc after recording might take some time, because the drive has to update the TOC before the disc
can be ejected.
