Operating Basics

CD-RW can generally be rewritten about 1,000 times. However, the

actual number of rewrites is affected by the quality of the media and the

way it is used.

Be sure to connect the universal AC adapter when you write or rewrite.

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 hard

disk access speeds, as they may cause unstable operation and

damage data.

Write from the computer's hard disk drive to the CD. Do not try to write

from shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network device.

Writing with software other than TOSHIBA Disc Creator has not been

confirmed. Therefore, operation with other software cannot be

guaranteed.
