Precautions when writing data

Please observe the following precautions when writing data to DVD+R,
DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R, or CD-RW discs.
• Be sure to power the notebook from its AC adapter. Do not run the
computer on battery power.
• When inserting discs, do not touch the recording surface. Dirt on the
recording surface can impair data writing.
• While writing data and while inserting or removing discs, protect the
drive and the notebook from shocks and vibrations.
• Turn off the screen saver of the notebook. If the screen saver is activated
while writing data, the data transfer rate will drop considerably, which
can lead to loss of data.
• Make sure that your notebook's power management function is not
enabled during data writing. Otherwise data transfer rate will become
extremely slow, resulting in data loss. For details of your notebook's
power management settings, refer to the manuals provided with your
notebook.
• Do not disconnect or manually operate any devices (such as a Digital
Video Camera Recorder) connected to this drive while writing data to
DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, or DVD-RW discs.
• Installing or updating the driver during data writing can result in
operating problems.
• Do not disconnect devices such as USB equipment or PC cards while
writing data.
• Do not switch users while writing data. This may result in data loss.
• Avoid using any resident disc management utilities or utilities to speed
up disc access as these can impair operation stability and cause data loss.
• Writing to a CD-R or CD-RW with an operating speed of 1× or 2× is not
supported.
• Use CD-R discs that support a data writing speed of 8× or higher.
• Use CD-RW discs that support a data writing speed of 4× or higher.
• The use of High Speed CD-RW discs is supported.
