Note
Drives that do not have the Ultra Speed CD-RW logo cannot be used to write to Ultra Speed
CD-RW discs. When writing or adding to such discs with a drive other than this one, make
sure that the drive has the Ultra Speed CD-RW logo. Also, always set the writing speed to
that specified for the particular Ultra Speed CD-RW disc media being used.
Writing Speed
When writing to CD-R and CD-RW discs, set the writing speed to that
specified on the disc. Change the writing speed on the writing software.
About playback/reading compatibility in CDs
CD-R and CD-RW discs created with the drive can be read on most CD-ROM
drives. However, some older CD-ROM drives cannot read CD-RW discs.
In addition, CD-R music discs created and finalized with the drive can be
played on most CD players, however, there are some CD players and
automobile CD players that do not guarantee playback of CD-R discs.
Also, CD-R music discs created with the drive can be played back on many
standard CD players. However, depending on the type of your player, playback
of CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be supported.
Further, because of the differences in quality and characteristics between
various CD-ROM drive, CD player, CD-R disc, and CD-RW disc
manufacturers, playback may not be possible depending on the combination.
Writable DVDs and compatibility
The drive can write to DVD+R DL, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, and DVD-R discs,
as well as to DVD+RW, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM discs, when used with
writing software. The playback (read) compatibility of data written by this
drive depends on the capabilities of the DVD-ROM drives or the DVD players
and on the logical format selected when the disc is recorded (written).
DVD+R DL/DVD+R/DVD-R DL/DVD-R Discs
