Before you write or rewrite to any of the media supported by the DVD

of the setup and operating instructions in this section. If you fail to do so,
you may find that the DVD Super Multi drive or BD-Combo/BD-Writer drive
may not function properly, and you may fail to write or rewrite information
successfully - this may cause you to either lose data or incur other damage
to the drive or media.

■ Some models in this series are equipped with a DVD Super Multi drive

■ Please refer to the Writable discs , Chapter 2 for details about the types

■ Do not turn off the power to the optical disc drive while the computer is
accessing it as this may cause you to lose data.

When writing information to media using an optical drive, you should
always ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to a live power socket. It is
possible that, if data is written while powered by the battery pack, the write
process may sometimes fail due to low battery power - in these instances
data loss may occur.
