4.

It is recommended that you use the image file format when you 

write a large number of small-sized files. 

When there are a large number of small-sized files to write, the 

system’s transfer rate drops and the Superlink feature works at a more 

frequent rate, resulting in lower writing quality. 

If you are doing a CD-to-CD write, it is not necessary to check to see if 

you have available space on your hard disc beforehand. 

However, in the case of image files, it is recommended that you be 

sure you have at least twice the amount of space on your hard disc 

needed for the data, as image files are copied to the hard disc before 

they are copied to the CD. 

5.

Do not use more than one type of writing software. 

Before you install a writing program, be sure to first uninstall existing 

versions of the program or other writing program(s) and reboot the 

system first. 

(The Windows operating system may be damaged if you install the 

Korean version while the English version remains on the system.) 

The write speed for a disc can be restricted if:

1. The disc has bad properties data and/or there are other discs with 

different properties available under the same ID. 

The drive’s write strategy is set in a way that allows the drive to 

examine the disc properties and determine the optimal write conditions 

for those properties. 

For example, many disc makers do not include property information 

distinguishing 48X discs from 32X discs. Since the two types of discs 

have the same data properties, while having different write speeds, it is 

often impossible to respond to the situation with a single write strategy. 

In order to ensure stable writing, it is necessary to downgrade the write 

speed. 

If discs from two different manufacturers are labeled as havings the 

same write speed, but actually have different write speeds, it is 

necessary to downgrade the write speed to ensure stable writing. 

Use only writing software provided by TOSHIBA. You may 

experience writing errors if you use with other writing 

programs.
