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.
When writing or rewriting
Note the following when you write or rewrite a CD-R or CD-RW.
◆ Always copy data from the HDD to the CD. Do not use cut-and-paste. The
original data will be lost if there is a write error.

◆ Change users in the Windows XP operating system.
◆ Operate the computer for any other function, including use of a mouse
or Touch Pad, closing/opening the LCD panel.

may occur.
