You can use the DVD Super Multi drive to write data to either CD-R/RW or

Before you write or rewrite to CD-R/RW or DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW/-RAM
discs, 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.

■ Damage to any CD-R/RW or DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW/-RAM disc that may
be caused by writing or rewriting with this product.

Given the technological limitations of current optical disc writing drives, you
may experience unexpected writing or rewriting errors due to disc quality or
problems with hardware devices. Also, it is a good idea to make two or
more copies of important data, in case of undesired change or loss of the
recorded contents.

writable CD/DVD discs.
■ Do not turn off the power of the optical disc drive while the computer is
accessing the drive. If you turn off the power, you may lose data.

in Media Center.

feature that is installed on your computer.
