Notes on writing data onto a disc
❑
To make the data on a disc readable on an optical disc drive, you need to close the session when 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 the computer while writing data onto a disc.
❑
Deactivate the screen saver and exit anti-virus software before writing data onto a disc.
❑
Do not use memory-resident utility software while writing data to a disc. This may cause the 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 pre-installed software and while using the CD burning software.
❑
Never put stickers on discs. This will affect the use of the disc irreparably.
❑
Connect and use the AC adapter to power your computer or make sure your battery is at least 50 percent charged.
❑
Some DVD players and computer's DVD drives may not be able to play DVDs created by the VAIO Zone software.
