Writing CDs on a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive

You can use the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive to write data to CD-R/RW discs. 

The following applications for writing are preinstalled: 

 

Record Now!/DLA, licensed by Sonic Solutions.

Before you write or rewrite to CD-R/RW disc, read and follow all setup and 

operating instructions in this section. If you fail to do so, the CD-RW/DVD-

ROM drive may not function properly, and you may fail to write or rewrite, 

lose data or incur other damage.

TOSHIBA does not bear responsibility for the following:

■

Damage to a CD-R/RW disc that may be caused by writing or rewriting 

with this product.

■

Any change or loss of the recorded contents of CD-R/RW disc that may 

be caused by writing or rewriting with this product, or for any business 

profit loss or business interruption that may be caused by the change or 

loss of the recorded contents.

■

Damage that may be caused by using third party equipment or software.

Given the technological limitations of current optical disc writing drives, you 

may experience unexpected writing or rewriting errors due to disc quality or 

problems with hardware devices. Also, it is a good idea to make two or more 

copies of important data, in case of undesired change or loss of the recorded 

contents.

Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite the data.

■

We recommend the following manufacturers of CD-R and CD-RW media.
