■ If the disc is poor in quality, dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting
errors may occur. Be careful to check the disc for dirt or damage
before you use it.
■ The actual number of rewrites to CDRW or DVDRW/RAM is
affected by the quality of the disc and the way it is used.
■ There are two types of DVDR: authoring and general use discs. Do
not use authoring discs. Only general use discs can be written to by a
computer drive.
■ Other DVDROM drives for computers or other DVD players may not
be able to read DVDR/RW discs.
