To write data to a CD-R or CD-RW disc

You can use Sony SonicStage™ software to write data to a CD-R or CD-RW
disc. To create a CD-R disc that is readable in a CD-ROM drive, make sure you
finish the writing process before ejecting it.

❑

For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screen saver and exit anti-virus
software before writing data to a disc.

❑

For best results, use CD-Rs that are compatible with 8x speed.

Notes on CD and DVD discs

❑

Do not drop or bend the disc.

❑

Do not touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a
disc may cause reading errors.

Do not use the Eject PC option in Windows® or press the UNDOCK switch on the
docking station while writing data to a CD-R or CD-RW. Doing so may severely
damage your notebook.

Do not put your notebook into power saving mode while writing data to a CD-R
or CD-RW disc.

Do not strike or shake the notebook while writing data to a disc.

Memory-resident disc utilities, such as the screen saver and virus checker, may
cause unstable operation or data loss. Deactivate these utilities (if they are
active) before writing data to a disc.

Always use the AC adapter as the power source for your notebook when you are
writing data to a CD-R or CD-RW. Using battery power may result in data
transfer failure.
