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.
