If you want to use other media and are having difficulty formatting non-4x CD-RW discs, change the writing
speed from 4x to a lower setting.
To change the writing speed from the default to a lower speed, proceed as follows:
1 Go to My Computer from the Start menu.
2 Right-click the disc drive icon.
3 Select Properties.
4 Select the Settings tab.
5 Change the Current Write Speed field to 2x.
6 Click OK.
✍ The VAIO notebook has a maximum recording rate of 8x for CD-R and 4x for CD-RW discs.
When I double-click an application icon a message such as 'You must insert the application CD into your CD-
ROM drive' appears and the software does not start.
❑ Some titles require specific files that are located on the application CD-ROM. Insert the disc and try
starting the program again.
❑ Make sure you place the disc in the tray with the label side facing up.
The disc tray does not eject even when the eject button is pressed
❑ Check that the notebook is turned on.
❑ The CD-writing application software may be stopping the disc from being ejected.
The disc tray ejects even when it has been locked into place
❑ Ensure that the disc is placed with the label side facing up.
❑ The disc may be scratched. Place another disc to see if that is the reason.
❑ There may be condensation in the drive. Remove the disc and leave the drive open for approximately
one hour.
