To achieve optimum performance when writing data on a DVD-RW disc, follow these recommendations:
❑ To make a DVD-R’s data readable on another DVD-ROM drive, you need to close the session when you
eject it. To complete this process, follow the instructions included with your software.
❑ Only use circular discs. Do not use discs with any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage
the disc drive.
❑ Do not strike or shake the computer while writing data to a disc.
❑ For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screensaver before writing data to a disc.
❑ Memory-resident disc utilities may cause unstable operation or data loss. Deactivate these utilities before
writing data to a disc.
❑ When using a software application to burn DVDs, make sure you exit and close all other applications.
❑ Never touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause writing
errors.
