<When writing to CD-R/RW discs and DVD-R/RW discs>
Using the CD-ROM of the writer software (included), install the application software
on your computer. For information on how to install the software, refer to the instruc-
tions of the writer software.
Be sure to use discs conforming to the proper write speeds.
If the write operation is to involve a long period of time, be sure to connect the AC
adaptor. If the battery power runs low and the power of the computer is cut, the write
operation may end in failure.
