Using the CD-R/RW Drive to Exchange Data
Section 5
8. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to set the write speed, and
press [ENTER].
The message “Are you sure?” appears.
The range of available write speeds can sometimes be limited
by the type of media being used. In such a case, the BR-
900CD will allow you to select only the supported speeds.
9. Press [ENTER] (YES) again.
Writing to the CD-R/RW disc begins.
When “Completed!” appears, the writing is finished.
The following files will have been written to the CD-R/
RW disc in ISO9660 Level 2, Mode 1 format.
10. Press [EXIT] several times to return to the Play screen.
11. Press the CD-R/RW drive’s EJECT button to eject the disc.
12. Use the application on your computer to copy the data
from the CD-R/RW disc.
If a CD-R disc that already has data written to it is
loaded, the message “Not Blank Disc” appears, and you
cannot proceed with the export. Be sure to use only
blank discs.
If a CD-RW disc that already has data written to it is
loaded, the message “Erase Disc?” appears. Pressing
[ENTER] (YES) here begins erasure of the disc. After the
disc has been erased, the export process will continue.
When a mono track is specified as the source for
exporting, the data is written as a mono waveform file.
When a stereo track is specified, the data is written as a
stereo waveform file.
Tracks 7/8 are fixed as a permanent stereo pair, and so
cannot be specified as mono tracks.
To quit writing to the disc while writing is still in
progress, press [EXIT] (NO). When the message
“Cancel?” appears, press [ENTER] (YES); writing is
cancelled (it may take some time after you press [EXIT]
(NO) for the message to appear). However, no guarantee
can be made for the utility of the content up to the time
writing is cancelled.
It will not be possible to reuse a CD-R disc for which
writing was canceled before completion.
