Toshiba m4-103 User Guide

Operating Basics

TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of the 

manufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be guaranteed.

■

The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW is affected by the quality of the 

disc and the way it is used. 

■

Be sure to connect the AC adaptor when you write or rewrite.

■

Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing 

software.

■

Do not run software such as a screen saver which can put a heavy load 

on the CPU.

■

Operate the computer at full power. Do not use power-saving features.

■

Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish, 

then disable virus detection programs including any software that 

checks files automatically in the background.

■

Do not use hard disk utilities, including those intended to enhance HDD 

access speed. They may cause unstable operation and damage data.

■

Write from the computer's HDD to the CD. Do not try to write from 

shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network device.

■

Writing with software other than Sonic RecordNow! has not been 

confirmed. Therefore, operation with other software cannot be 

guaranteed.
