Choosing the Kind of Media to Use

Many kinds of blank CD and DVD media are available in the marketplace. The type of disc you should use can be determined by two key compatibility factors:

•	Compatibility between the type of media and the playback device

•	Compatibility between the type of media and the recorder

Compatibility between media and playback devices

To make sure that the CD or DVD media you are using is compatible with your playback device, check the manufacturer instructions included with them.

Compatibility between media and recorders

To make sure that CD or DVD media is compatible with your recorder, check the manufacturer instructions included with them.

What if I am having problems even though my compatibility seems good?

Sometimes, different brands of media can work differently in your recorder or playback device. If you are experiencing repeated problems with one kind of media, another brand may give you different results.
