Compatibility Information
An important feature of a DVD Writer/CD Writer drive is its high level of compatibility with
other optical drives and CD and DVD players:
The CDs that you create play in most home and car stereos as well as most computer
DVD-ROM and CD-ROM drives.
The DVDs that you create are compatible with some DVD video players and with most
computer DVD-ROM drives.
CD-R discs are more compatible with home and car stereos than CD-RW discs are.
Blu-ray disc drives are required to play Blu-ray discs.
Blu-ray disc drives can read Blu-ray discs and record to Blu-ray discs.
HD disc drives are capable of playing HD discs but not recording HD data to disc.
The DVD Writer/CD Writer drive is able to read from and record to almost every type of
optical disc. Writing speed rates for the DVD Writer/CD Writer drive are fast, allowing quick
recording times.
CAUTION: Use only standard-shaped (circular) discs in the drive. Using
non-standard discs, such as heart-shaped discs or business-card discs,
may damage the drive.
NOTE: On a double-sided DVD, read the text
around the center hole to determine which side
(A versus B or Standard versus Widescreen) to
play. Slide the disc into the drive with the label
facing left for the side that you want to play.
