If the disc is poor in quality, or is dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting
errors may be noted - ensure that you check all discs for dirt or damage
before you use them.
■
The actual number of rewrites to CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-
RAM or BD-RE media will be affected by the quality of the disc itself
