media, use the associated software to open the files on the

with a multi-function drive that allows you to:

Due to manufacturing and quality variations in third party 
optical media (e.g., CD or DVD) or optical media players/
recorders, in certain cases, your Toshiba optical drive may not 
record on certain optical media that bear the applicable logo, 
or play back optical media recorded by other computers or 
optical media recorders. Additionally, certain optical media 
recorded on your optical drive may not play back or operate 
properly on other computers or optical media players. These 
problems are not due to any defect in your Toshiba computer 
or optical drive. Please refer to your computer's product 
specification for listing of specific format compatibilities.
Copy protection technology may also prevent or limit 
recording or viewing of certain optical media.
For details on how to use the software, please refer to the 
respective Online Help menus.
