Operating Basics
■
In writing to a DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW or DVD+R DL disc, some disc
space is required for file management, so you may not be able to write
the full capacity of the disc.
■
Since the disc is based on the DVD standard, it will be filled with dummy
data if the written data is less than about 1 GB. Even if you write only a
small amount of data, it might take time to fill in the dummy data.
■
When multiple drives that can write data to discs are connected, be
careful not to write to the wrong drive.
■
Be sure to connect the universal AC adaptor before you write or rewrite.
■
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.
■
Writing with software other than RecordNow! is not recommended.
