• Making backups
Just as with a hard disk or floppy disk, we recommends that you make backups
(copy the data) at regular intervals.
To remove the disc out of the TYPE2 cartridge
1.Push out the pin for disc removing using
an object with a pointed end such as the
emergency ejection pin (included).
3.Taking care not to soil or damage the
disc surface, remove the disc out in
the horizontal direction.
2.Pressing the hole located on the left
side using an object with a pointed end,
open the open/close cover.
Notes:
•
The disc which has been removed
out of the TYPE2 cartridge can be
used as read-only media.
⇒ When the disc is returned inside the
cartridge, writing is possible again.
⇒ In some cases, writing speed may be
slower to discs that have been removed
from their cartridge cases.
•
Be sure not to soil the disc surface
with dirt, dust and fingerprints or
damage the disc. In addition, do not
drop it, bend it or adhere a piece of
paper to it. (This may cause data
read error.)
DVD-RAM disc
A DVD-RAM disc is a removable media developed as a "DVD to which data can be
written", aiming at reading and writing large amounts of personal computer data.
There are two types of DVD-RAM discs.
• TYPE1
The disc inside cannot be removed.
• TYPE2
Single-sided 2.6GB DVD-RAM discs. The disc inside can be removed for future use
in DVD-RAM drives which have DVD-RAM read compatibility.
