Why does my CD-RW drive not record at the highest speed?
You must use 8x CD-R or 4x CD-RW media or higher to achieve optimum performance.
If you want to use other media and are having difficulty formatting non-4x CD-RW discs, change the writing
speed from 4x to a lower setting.
To change the writing speed from the default to a lower speed, proceed as follows:
1 Go to My Computer from the Start menu.
2 Right-click the disc drive icon.
3 Select Properties.
4 Select the Settings tab.
5 Change the Current Write Speed field to 2x.
6 Click OK.
✍ The VAIO notebook has a maximum recording rate of 8x for CD-R and 4x for CD-RW discs.
When I double-click an application icon a message such as 'You must insert the application CD into your CD-
ROM drive' appears and the software does not start.
❑ Some titles require specific files that are located on the application CD-ROM. Insert the disc and try
starting the program again.
