Using the CD-R/RW Drive to Exchange Data
Section 5
8. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to set the write speed, and 
press [ENTER].
The message “Are you sure?” appears.
The range of available write speeds can sometimes be limited 
by the type of media being used. In such a case, the BR-
900CD will allow you to select only the supported speeds.
9. Press [ENTER] (YES) again.
Writing to the CD-R/RW disc begins.
When “Completed!” appears, the writing is finished.
The following files will have been written to the CD-R/
RW disc in ISO9660 Level 2, Mode 1 format.
10. Press [EXIT] several times to return to the Play screen.
11. Press the CD-R/RW drive’s EJECT button to eject the disc. 
12. Use the application on your computer to copy the data 
from the CD-R/RW disc.
• If a CD-R disc that already has data written to it is 
loaded, the message “Not Blank Disc” appears, and you 
cannot proceed with the export. Be sure to use only 
blank discs.
• If a CD-RW disc that already has data written to it is 
loaded, the message “Erase Disc?” appears. Pressing 
[ENTER] (YES) here begins erasure of the disc. After the 
disc has been erased, the export process will continue.
• When a mono track is specified as the source for 
exporting, the data is written as a mono waveform file. 
When a stereo track is specified, the data is written as a 
stereo waveform file.
• Tracks 7/8 are fixed as a permanent stereo pair, and so 
cannot be specified as mono tracks.
• To quit writing to the disc while writing is still in 
progress, press [EXIT] (NO). When the message 
“Cancel?” appears, press [ENTER] (YES); writing is 
cancelled (it may take some time after you press [EXIT] 
(NO) for the message to appear). However, no guarantee 
can be made for the utility of the content up to the time 
writing is cancelled.
• It will not be possible to reuse a CD-R disc for which 
writing was canceled before completion.
