Guidelines for CD Media
● Apply no label to any side of the disk. Do not use a ballpoint pen or pencil.
● Do not touch or damage the data side.
● Do not bend the disk or put a heavy object on it.

a dry cloth. Always wipe the disk along the radius.
● Keep the disks dry.
● Do not place the disks in an extreme temperature environment.

applied to any failure caused by the use of such CDs.

Point
• A CD-ROM is the same as a music CD (compact disc) except it has computer information
(characters) instead of sound. ROM stands for Read Only Memory. This PC can read data
from CD-ROMs but cannot write data, except when CD-R/RW is selected .
• This PC accepts any CD that has one of the following marks. Do not use the CD if it does not
carry any of them. Or, it may cause a failure. An additional application may be necessary to
use particular types of CDs.
*1 You can write on the CD if you have a CD-R/RW drive.
*2 If you write data at 8X speed or higher, you need to have a high speed-ready drive.
