EASY CD CREATOR 4 3.1 IF YOU ARE RUNNING VIRUS SCAN You may experience buffer underruns if you are running this application while you are burning a CD. If you encounter this problem, you should close any other open applications or try lowering the write speed. 3.2 CANCELING A DAO RECORDING If you select "Cancel" when doing a test run of a Disc at Once disc, Easy CD Creator may not return control to you right away.

ACCESSING THE CDDB DISC RECOGNITION SERVICE If you use AOL to access the Internet, you will need an active Internet connection prior to attempting to access the CDDB Disc Recognition Service. 6.

GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING Audio tracks recorded on CD-RW media may not be playable in home or car stereos. Not all CD-ROM drives support digital audio extraction. Easy CD Creator will notify you if it cannot extract audio from your CD-ROM drive. In this case, we recommend you use your CD-RICD-RW drive to extract audio. If you are copying CDs or audio tracks from a source ATAPI CD-ROM drive, you may experience buffer underruns if your CD-ROM drive is not fast enough to keep up with your CD-RICD-RW drive. If you EFTA00578263 experience this, you should try reducing your write speed to lx, or buffer to your hard drive first. EFTA00578264
