Notes on CD-R Media:  
 
Quality and recording characteristics of media from different 
manufacturers will vary from brand to brand. This has to do with 
the manufacturing processes of both the CD-R media and CD-R 
mechanism. Some media that does not work well with one CD-R 
mechanism may work reasonably well with another. 
 
In order to take the guesswork out of selecting media, we are 
posting an approved list of media for use with the CD-RW900. At 
the time of this writing, media from each of these manufacturers 
was written to and verified. 
 
CD-R / CD-R-DA approved manufacturers:

Chemical 
CD-RW / CD-RW-DA approved manufacturers:

limited to 1x speed media.
