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

disc. 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.

You can use DVD-RAM discs that can be removed from a cartridge and

DVD-RAM discs designed without a cartridge.You can use a disc with a

2.6GB single-sided capacity by read only mode.

Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be

able to read DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW discs.
