Before writing or rewriting

■

Based on TOSHIBA's limited compatibility testing, we suggest the 

following manufacturers of CD-R/RW or DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW disc. 

However, in no event does TOSHIBA guarantee the operation, quality 

or performance of any disc. Disc quality can affect write or rewrite 

success rates.

■

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/+RW is affected 

by the quality of the disc and the way it is used.

■

There are two types of DVD-R: authoring and general use discs. Do not 

use authoring discs. Only general use discs can be written to by a 

computer drive.

able to read DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW discs.
