■ Precautions for backup
• If a CD-R disc selected for backup already contains data,
the message “Not Blank Disc!” will appear and backup
will not be possible. Always use an empty disc for this
operation. If, on the other hand, you are using a CD-RW
disc that already contains data, the message “Erase
Disc?” will be displayed. If you then press [ENTER]
(YES), the BR-900CD will begin erasing data from this

back up exceeds the capacity of a single CD-R/RW disc,
you will be able to perform a backup using as many
discs as necessary. In this case, you will need to have a
number of blank CD-R/RW discs on hand, and during
the backup process, you should insert and remove them
as requested on-screen.
