WHAT IS CD-RECORDABLE?
• CD-Recordable is compact disc technology that allows the
user to create their own CD’s. This is done by means of a
recording system that uses “Write once” type optical discs
and documented in the “Orange Book, Part II” and a CD
recording device that is connected to a host system.
Typically, the host system is a personal computer which
also contains recording software.
