Important message
Before you write or rewrite to any of the media supported by the Optical
Disc Drive, please read and follow all of the setup and operating
instructions in this section. If you fail to do so, you may find that the optical
drive may not function properly, and you may fail to write or rewrite
information successfully - this may cause you to either lose data or incur
other damage to the drive or media.
Disclaimer
TOSHIBA does not bear responsibility for the following:
■ Damage to any CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R,
DVD+R DL, DVD+RW or DVD-RAM disc that may be caused by writing
or rewriting with this product.
■ Any change or loss of the recorded contents of CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R,
DVD-R DL,DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW or DVD-RAM
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

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. In view of this, it is good practice to make
two or more copies of important data, in case of any undesired change or
loss of the recorded contents.
Before writing or rewriting with the DVD Super Multi drive
■ Based on TOSHIBA's limited compatibility testing, we suggest the
following manufacturers of CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R,
DVD+RW or DVD-RAM media, however, it must be noted that disc
quality can affect write or rewrite success rates. Please also be aware
that in no event does TOSHIBA guarantee the operation, quality or
performance of any disc.
When writing information to media using an optical drive, you should
always ensure that you connect the AC adaptor to a live power socket. It is
possible that, if data is written while powered by the battery pack, the write
process may sometimes fail due to low battery power - in these instances
data loss may occur.
