■ 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
HDD access speed. They may cause unstable operation and damage
data.
■ Write from the computer’s HDD to the CD/DVD. Do not try to write
from shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network
device.

guaranteed.
When writing or rewriting
Note when you write or rewrite a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or
DVD-RAM:
■ Always copy data from the HDD to the CD/DVD. Do not use cut-and-
paste. The original data will be lost if there is a write error.
■ Before you use the Erase function, make sure the DVD/CD-RW disk
does not contain any data you want to keep. Erase destroys all data
on the disk.

mouse or Touch pad, closing/opening the LCD panel.
