TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of the man-
ufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be guaranteed.
◆

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 AC adaptor 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 HDD
access speed. They may cause unstable operation and damage data.

◆

Write from the computer’s HDD 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 RecordNow! has not been confirmed.
Therefore, operation with other software cannot be guaranteed.
