Notes on writing data to a disc
❑
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.
❑
When using your software application to burn discs, make sure you exit and close all other applications.
❑
Never touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause writing errors.
❑
Do not switch power modes while using the preinstalled software and while using the CD burning software.
❑
Never affix an adhesive label to discs. This will affect the use of the disc irreparably.
❑
Use only Sony Value-added software when writing to CD/DVD media. (Ex: Click to DVD)
Other software programs may not be fully compatible and errors may result.
