Recording Modes
Track at Once
In this mode, data can be recorded to disc one track at a time. Discs recorded in this mode
cannot be played in CD players or CDROM drives other than a CD-RW or a CD-R drive
until the session is closed.
Disc at Once
In this mode, data can be recorded to an entire disc in one pass. It is not possible to write
additional data later.
Session at Once
In this mode, data can be recorded to the disc one session at a time. To use this mode, your
software must support Session at Once recording. New sessions can be written later.
Packet Writing
This is useful for data back-up. Smaller units of data can be added to tracks. To use this
mode, your software must support Packet Writing. Your Philips CD Rewriter supports both
sequential and random packet writing.
