patibility
When erasing a +/-DVD-RAM or BD+RE/BD-RE, this
ensures that when it is reinserted into the drive even un-
der Windows
®
98/ME it will be identified correctly and not
as an audio disc.
Consumer electronic de-
vices compatibility
Ensures when erasing a disc that it is still compatible
with the consumer electronic device for which it is in-
tended. This check box is especially relevant for certain
camcorders that only accept discs which have been
completely cleared as "blank".
The Windows 98/ME compatibility and Consumer electronic devices compatibility
boxes should only be checked if an erase procedure has already been performed without
these options, and Windows 98/Me or the consumer device has not identified the disc cor-
rectly as "empty".
