Notes on writing data onto a disc
To make the data on a disc readable on an optical disc 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 in any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage the optical disc
drive.
Do not strike or shake the computer while writing data onto a disc.
Deactivate the screen saver and exit anti-virus software before writing data onto a disc.
Do not use memory-resident utility software while writing data to a disc. This may cause the computer to malfunction.
When using your software application to burn discs, 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.
Do not switch power modes while using the pre-installed software and while using the CD burning software.
Never put stickers on discs. This will affect the use of the disc irreparably.
Connect and use the AC adapter to power the computer or make sure your battery is at least 50 percent charged.
Some DVD players and computer's DVD drives may not be able to play DVDs created on applicable models using the
VAIO Zone software.
