Operating Basics
Before writing or rewriting
■
Based on TOSHIBA's limited compatibility testing, we suggest the
following manufacturers of CD-R/RW and DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM
discs. However, in no event does TOSHIBA guarantee the operation,
quality or performance of any disc. Disc quality can affect write or
rewrite success rates.
■
If the disc is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting errors
may occur. Be careful to check the disc for dirt or damage before you
use it.
■
The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW or
DVD-RAM is affected by the quality of the disc and the way it is used.
■
There are two types of DVD-R discs: authoring and general use discs.
Do not use authoring discs. Only general use discs can be written to by
a computer drive.
