Operating Basics

Before writing or rewriting

■

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

following manufacturers of CD-R/RW and DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM 

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, DVD-RW, DVD+RW or DVD-

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

■

There are two types of DVD-R discs: authoring and general use discs. 

Do not use authoring discs. Only general use discs can be written to by 

a computer drive.

■

You can use DVD-RAM discs that can be removed from a cartridge and 

DVD-RAM discs designed without a cartridge. You cannot use a disc 

with a 4.7 GB single-sided capacity or 9.4 GB double-sided capacity.

■

Other DVD-ROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not be 

able to read DVD-R/-RW or DVD+R/+RW discs.
