Notes on Using Discs
<Optical disc drive equipped models>

Notes on playing discs

• Depending on system environment, you may find sound interruptions and/or dropped frames during DVD/BD/AVCHD playback. In addition, some discs may not be able to play on your VAIO computer.

• When you are playing discs:

• The CPU load increases. Close all running software other than the playback software you are currently using to enjoy smoother playback.

• Do not switch the display output between the computer screen and an external display.

Notes on playing recorded discs on other players

• Some CD players may not be able to play audio CDs created with CD-R or CD-RW media.

• Some DVD players may not be able to play DVDs created with DVD+R DL, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM media.

• Blu-ray Disc recorders that support only BD-RE Ver.1.0 cannot play BD-R or BD-RE media created with your VAIO computer. (Blu-ray Disc Drive with DVD SuperMulti equipped models)

Tips for successful writing

• Do not plug or unplug cables, such as the AC adapter or the power cord while the optical disc drive is writing data to a disc.

• The writing process may take longer to complete than theoretically predicted because some software writes and verifies data simultaneously.

• Sony assumes no liability for any loss or damage of any kind arising out of writing failure.
