Disclaimer
TOSHIBA does not bear responsibility for the following:
■ Damage to any CD-R/-RW disc that may be caused by writing or
rewriting with this product.
■ Any change or loss of the recorded contents of CD-R/-RW media that
may be caused by writing or rewriting with this product, or for any
business profit loss or business interruption that may be caused by the
change or loss of the recorded contents.
■ Damage that may be caused by using third party equipment or
software. Given the technological limitations of current optical disc
writing drives, you may experience unexpected writing or rewriting
errors due to disc quality or problems with hardware devices. Also, it is
a good idea to make two or more copies of important data, in case of
undesired change or loss of the recorded contents.
Before writing or rewriting
Observe the following points when you write or rewrite the data.
■ We recommend the following manufacturers of CD-R and CD-RW
media. Media quality can affect write or rewrite success rates. CD-R
discs can be written only once. CD-RW discs can be rewritten many
times.
TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of the
manufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be guaranteed.
■ CD-RW can generally be rewritten about 1,000 times. However, the
actual number of rewrites is affected by the quality of the media and the
way it is used.
■ Be sure to connect the universal AC adapter when you write or rewrite.
■ Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing
software.
■ Do not run software such as a screen saver which can put a heavy load
on the CPU.
■ Operate the computer at full power. Do not use power-saving features.
CD-R discs can be written only once. CD-RW discs can be rewritten many
times.
