Using your VAIO computer
Hardware Guide

You can also use the
Eject
buttons at the top of the

Reading and writing CDs and DVDs
To achieve optimum performance when writing data on to disc (also called ’burning’), follow these recommendations:
❑
Only use circular discs. Do not use discs with any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage the disc drive.
❑
Do not strike or shake the computer while writing data to a disc.
❑
For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screensaver before writing data to a disc.
❑
Memory-resident disc utilities may cause unstable operation or data loss. Deactivate these utilities before writing data to a disc.
❑
When using a 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.
❑
Never put stickers on discs. This will affect the use of the disc irreparably.
