Test 
This function is a test process that simulates data being written to the\
 DVD/
CD-R/RW disc, without actually burning a disc. When the test process is 
complete, the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW discs will remain blank. For DVD-RW 
or CD-RW discs that contain data, “Test” will quick erase all old data before 
simulation. Therefore, never perform “Test” on DVD/CD-RW discs that contain 
important data. 
Note: Test is not supported by DVD+R/RW discs.
Press the 
1.  ENT button to start the disc simulation, or press  ESC to exit. 
Pressing ESC before the simulation is complete will not affect the DVD-R/
CD-R disc and they will still remain blank.
For DVD/CD-RW discs that contain data, Test will perform a Quick Erase 
2. 
before the actual testing. Thus, never run Test on DVD/CD-RW discs that 
contain important data.
The LCD will display the status of the erasing and testing of the DVD/CD\
.
3. 
When the process is completed, the LCD will display the status.
