Using Your VAIO Computer
Notes on writing data to a disc
❑
Use only Sony recommended software, which is preinstalled on your computer, to write data to a disc.
Other software programs may not be fully compatible and errors may result.
❑
To make data on a disc readable on the optical disc drive, you need to close the session before you eject it. To complete
this process, follow the instructions included with your software.
❑
Only use circular discs. Do not use discs in any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage the optical disc
drive.
❑
Do not strike or shake your computer while writing data to a disc.
❑
Deactivate the screen saver and exit anti-virus software before writing data to a disc.
❑
Do not use memory-resident utility software while writing data to a disc. This may cause your computer to malfunction.
❑
Before using your software application to burn discs, make sure you exit and close all other applications.
❑
Do not place your computer into either of the power saving modes while using the preinstalled software or any disc
burning software.
❑
Connect and use the AC adapter to power your computer or make sure your battery pack is at least 50% charged.
❑
Make sure you use the same disc burning software to add data to a used disc. Use of different disc burning software for
additional data burning may cause a failure. For example, if you have a disc with data that you burned with the
Roxio
Easy Media Creator
software, use the
Roxio Easy Media Creator
software to add more data to the same disc.
