About CD Media

When using CD-R or CD-RW disks, read the description on the disk package.

To write CD-R/RW disks, writing software is required. ("B's Recorder" and "B's CLiP" are
installed at the time of purchase.

Be sure to use disks conforming to the proper writing speeds.
(Some disks cannot be written at the specified speeds.)

Depending on the disk, the writing speed may slow down.

The data transfer rate of CD per 1X speed is 150 KB/s.

For a long write/rewrite operation, 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 fail.

Do not move the computer while in the midst of writing or rewriting, as this may result in a
writing failure.
