Operating Basics
Install, remove or connect external devices, including such items as 
a PC Card, SD/SDHC memory card, miniSD/microSD Card, Smart 
Card, Memory Stick/Memory Stick PRO/Memory Stick PRO Duo, xD 
picture card, MultiMediaCard, USB device, external monitor, i.LINK 
device, or an optical digital device.
Use the audio/video control button to reproduce music or voice.
Open the optical disc drive.
Do not use shut down, log off, Sleep Mode or Hibernation Mode 
functions while writing or rewriting.
Make sure that the write/rewrite operation is completed before going 
into either Sleep Mode or Hibernation Mode (writing is completed if you 
can remove an optical media on the DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive).
If the media is of poor quality, or is dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting 
errors may occur.
Set the computer on a level surface and avoid places subject to 
vibration such as airplanes, trains or cars. In addition, do not use the 
computer on an unstable surface such as a stand.
Keep mobile phones and other wireless communication devices away 
from the computer.
Writing CD/DVDs on DVD Super Multi drives
You can use the DVD Super Multi drive to write data to either CD-R, CD-
RW, DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R (Double 
Layer), DVD+RW or DVD-RAM discs. The TOSHIBA Disc Creator is 
provided as writing software with this computer.
, Chapter 2 for details about the types 
of writable CD and DVD discs that can be supported by this computer.
Do not turn off the power to the optical disc drive while the computer is 
accessing it as this may cause you to lose data.
To write data to CD-R/-RW media, use the TOSHIBA Disc Creator 
feature that is installed on your computer.
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.
