Freecom DVD RW Recorder GB . 1 Special Instructions before Writing a CD / DVD · · · You should realize that writing CD/DVDs is principally a sensitive data transmission procedure which can be disrupted by even the smallest mechanical disturbance. Never clean the Freecom DVD RW Recorder with a commercially available CD or a CD-ROM cleaning set. Recordable and Rewritable CD/DVDs (blanks) are more sensitive than commercially available CD/DVDs. Use only a solvent-free, non-abrasive marker when writing on a CD/DVD. Do not stick any conventional labels on the CD-Rs/CD-RWs, since the adhesive can attack the medium. Special labels for CD-R/CD-RW media are available in retail computer stores. Never remove a label from a CD-R/CD-RW media otherwise you will damage the protective layer and make the CD-R/CD-RW unusable. The drive recognizes the medium as soon as it is placed into the drive. [. . . ] Check whether cable is plugged in correctly. Determine if the media can be ejected and if the device is getting power when the system boots. Recording speed: · The DVD RW Recorder is USB 2. 0 compliant. While USB 2. 0 supports recording speeds higher than 4x, if this drive is connected to a USB 1. 1 port the maximum CD recording speed is 4x. 1 (valid in Europe/Turkey only) We thank you for purchasing this Freecom product and hope you will enjoy using it.
