Operating Basics
If the media is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting 
errors may occur.
Set the computer on a level surface and avoid places subject to 
vibration such as airplanes, trains or cars. Do not use an unstable 
surface such as a stand.
Keep mobile phones and other wireless communication devices away 
from the computer.
Writing CD/DVDs on DVD Super Multi drive
You can use the DVD Super Multi drive to write data to either CD-R/RW or 
DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW/-RAM discs. The following applications for writing are 
preinstalled: RecordNow!, and DLA licensed by Sonic Solutions.
Important message
Before you write or rewrite to CD-R/RW or DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW/-RAM 
disc, read and follow all setup and operating instructions in this section. If 
you fail to do so, the DVD Super Multi drive may not function properly, and 
you may fail to write or rewrite, lose data or incur other damage.
CD-R discs can be written to only once. CD-RW discs can be rewritten 
many times.
When the power of the optical media drive is off, the disc tray will not 
open even if the eject button is pushed. Use the optical media drive 
power icon to turn the power of the optical media drive on. Refer to 
Chapter 1, 
Do not turn off the power of the optical media drive while the computer 
is accessing the drive. If you turn off the power, you may lose data.
When writing to media using an optical drive, always connect the AC 
adaptor to a power plug socket. If data is written powered by the batteries, 
writing may sometimes fail due to low battery power and data loss may 
occur.
