Setting Up and Using Your Computer 15• If you have two CD or DVD drives, select the drive into which you have inserted yoursource CD or DVD and click Copy. The computer copies the data on the CD or DVD tothe blank CD or DVD.Once you have finished copying the source CD or DVD, the CD or DVD that you havecreated automatically ejects.Using Blank CD-Rs and CD-RWsYour CD-RW drive can write to two different types of recording media—CD-Rs and CD-RWs(including high-speed CD-RWs). Use blank CD-Rs to record music or permanently store data files.After creating a CD-R, you cannot write to that CD-R again (see the Sonic documentation formore information). Use blank CD-RWs to write to CDs or to erase, rewrite, or update dataon CDs.Your DVD-writable drive can write to four different types of recording media—CD-Rs, CD-RWs(including high-speed CD-RWs), DVD+Rs, and DVD+RWs. Blank DVD+Rs can be used topermanently store large amounts of information. After you create a DVD+R disc, you may not beable to write to that disc again if the disc is "finalized" or "closed" during the final stage of the disccreation process. Use blank DVD+RWs if you plan to erase, rewrite, or update information on thatdisc later.Helpful Tips• Use Microsoft® Windows® Explorer to drag and drop files to a CD-R or CD-RW only afteryou start Sonic RecordNow and open a RecordNow project.• You must use CD-Rs to burn music CDs that you want to play in regular stereos. CD-RWs donot play in most home or car stereos.• You cannot create audio DVDs with Sonic RecordNow.• Music MP3 files can be played only on MP3 players or on computers that have MP3 softwareinstalled.• Do not burn a blank CD-R or CD-RW to its maximum capacity; for example, do not copy a650-MB file to a 650-MB blank CD. The CD-RW drive needs 1 or 2 MB of the blank CD tofinalize the recording.• Use a blank CD-RW to practice CD recording until you are familiar with CD recordingtechniques. If you make a mistake, you can erase the data on the CD-RW and try again. Youcan also use blank CD-RWs to test music file projects before you record the projectpermanently to a blank CD-R.• See the Sonic support website at support.sonic.com for additional information.j6758bk02.book Page 15 Friday, January 28, 2005 8:02 AM
