Operating Basics
Before writing or rewriting
Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite the data.
■
We recommend the following manufacturers of CD-R and CD-RW
media. Media quality can affect write or rewrite success rates.
*For the special media listed below, the following manufacturers are
recommended:
■ High-Speed CD-RW:
MITSUBISHI Chemical Corporation, Ricoh Co., Ltd.
■
Ultra-Speed CD-RW:
MITSUBISHI Chemical Corporation
TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of the
manufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be guaranteed.
■
CD-RW can generally be rewritten about 1,000 times. However, the
actual number of rewrites is affected by the quality of the media and the
way it is used.
■ Be sure to connect the AC adaptor when you write or rewrite.
■
Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing
software.
■ Do not run software such as a screen saver which can put a heavy load
on the CPU.
■
Operate the computer at full power. Do not use power-saving features.
■ Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish,
then disable virus detection programs including any software that
checks files automatically in the background.
■
Do not use hard disk utilities, including those intended to enhance the
hard disk drive access speed. They may cause unstable operation and
damage data.
■ Write from the computer’s hard disk drive to the CD. Do not try to write
from shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network device.
■
Writing with software other than RecordNow! has not been confirmed.
Therefore, operation with other software cannot be guaranteed.
