Unformatted CD-RW disks may be prepared for data using the Format Disk function. You cannot erase or

first).
8. Select Create Archive. For floppy disks, this file may be viewed on a PC (AVI format) with the proper
codec driver installed using Windows Media Player or by using the AurorAcorD Floppy Player software,
or on the AurorAcorD (the Select Source field must be set to
Floppy
on the Playback Control screen).
Audio is not available from the floppy. For CD, you may playback the archived images on the AurorAcorD
(the Select Source field must be set to
CDRW
on the Playback Control screen) or on a PC using the
AurorAcorD CD Player software. You may also playback the audio on the CD, if audio is recorded. The
CD is in ISO9660 format that will enable it to be copied by a PC with a CD burner.
