Using the CD-RW drive (PCG-F570 only)
Your notebook comes equipped with a CD-RW drive, which enables you
to read and write data, depending on the media you are using. With CD-
RW media, the drive enables you to write, erase, and rewrite to the
media. With a CD-R, you can write data to a disc once only. Like a CD-
ROM drive, your CD-RW drive also reads a wide variety of media. The
Specifications below give a complete list of compatible discs.
The maximum data transfer rate varies with the notebook computer’s performance.
