Creating (Burning) CDs
You can make your own music or data CDs if your
HP Digital Entertainment Center has a CD-RW or DVD
Writer, or double-layer drive (select models only).
Your HP Digital Entertainment Center has four recording
software programs: iTunes, Windows Media Player,
RecordNow!, and Windows XP. You copy or download
music to their library and can then organize or copy the
music files. You can copy Windows Media files that have
a .wma extension, .mp3 files, or .wav files to a CD by
using a CD-RW drive or a DVD Writer drive. You can also
use iTunes or Windows Media Player to copy music files
to a portable device or memory card.
CD-R discs are compatible with more players than
CD-RW discs.

Burn is an industry term used to describe the
recording of information onto a DVD or CD.
Optical recording uses a laser beam to place
information onto the disc, thus the term
burning.
If your recording fails, manually select a
slower recording speed, if available, each
time you make a recording. Refer to the Help
menu in your selected software program
for more information about selecting a
slower recording speed.
