Using the CD-RW function*
Your notebook is equipped with a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive.
To burn CDs, you can use CD-RW and CD-R discs:
The CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) disc is a data memory medium that can be used to write, erase and rewrite 
a program or other data.
The CD-R (CD-Recordable) disc is a data memory medium that can be used to write a program or other 
data, but once only.
To achieve optimum performance when writing data on a CD-RW disc, follow these recommendations:
To make a CD-R’s data readable on a CD-ROM drive, you need to close the session when you eject it. To 
complete this process, follow the instructions included with your software.
Only use circular discs. Do not use discs with any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage 
the CD-RW drive.
Do not strike or shake the computer while writing data to a disc.
For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screensaver before writing data to a disc.
Memory-resident disc utilities may cause unstable operation or data loss. Deactivate these utilities before 
writing data to a disc.
When using a software application to burn CDs, be sure to exit and close all other applications.
Never touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause writing 
errors.
Do not put your VAIO notebook into a power saving mode while using the delivered software.
* Ultra Speed CD-RW is not supported.
