❑ If the disc is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting errors may
occur. Be careful to check the disc for dirt or damage before you use it.
❑ The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW or DVD-RW is affected by the quality
of the disc and the way it is used.
❑ There are two types of DVD discs: authoring and general use discs. Do not use
authoring discs. Only general use discs can be written to by a computer drive.
❑ Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be able
to read DVD-R/-RW discs.
❑ You cannot partially delete any data written to a DVD-RW disc.
❑ Data written to a CD-R/DVD-R disc cannot be deleted either in whole or in part.
❑ Data deleted (erase) from a CD-RW and DVD-RW disc cannot be recovered.
Check the content of the disc carefully before you delete it. If multiple drives
that can write data to discs are connected, be careful not to delete data from the
wrong drive.
❑ In writing to a DVD-R/-RW disc, some disc space is required for file
management, so you may not be able to write the full capacity of the disc.
