Lowering the burning speed on a
burner for compatibility
If a burned CD won’t play in a
standard CD player, try lowering the burning speed in the burning
settings.
Avoid straight sunlight on DVDs
Never leave a DVD in straight
sunlight; the recorded data layer on the disc will start to fade and DVD
players will not be able to read the damaged data layer. This in turn
leaves the DVD useless.
DVD+RW compatibility
Use the DVD+RW to store large
amounts of music or data; this format is compatible with most DVD
players and also can be read on PCs with DVD-ROMs.
For optimum sound quality, use
a demagnetizer cassette to get rid of residual magnetism in cassette
decks; play it for 30 seconds for every 20 to 30 hours of deck use; this
will bring back up the sound quality lowered by magnetism accumulations
and it will get rid of hiss noises.
To label a burned DVD use a
marker
Do not affix labels or tape to
the actual DVD; rather write on it with a marker. Putting tape on a DVD
may prevent it from being read correctly by the DVD player. And the
process of peeling the tape or label off may even scratch the disc.
