Infiniti Professional CD-R

What is it?

Infiniti CD-R are compact discs designed to be recordable on any compatible CD writing device. Many CD reading devices in HiFi cannot record onto CD-R - you need a CD Recording device, which can both read and record with CD-R. Almost all DVD writers can also write to CD-R.

What does it do?

The CD-R recording device "burns" pits into the pre-formed guide track on a CD.

The laser that reads the disc can read these pits, and write to it to store information. These pits are very, very small, and higher quality discs really do make a difference to writing, reading and longevity.

Who should buy it?

CD-R are used to record so many things now, they can really be used by anyone you can record data, music, video, games and backup on to them. They really are a great robust medium that is easy to handle, low cost, and resilient in transit.

Why is it better than others?

Infiniti CD-R are only ever the best grade. We have built our reputation on sheer excellence in terms of what passes our quality control tests.

How do I use it?

Your CD or DVD writer manufacturer should provide instructions for the correct use and handling of blank optical media. It is particularly critical that the discs have no marks, fingerprints or scratches on them prior to writing. After writing, minor scratches can be removed with various scratch removing devices like the PressIt CD Repair Kit, and fingerprints can easily be wiped off.

You can also use various devices to identify your discs after writing to them, such as CD Label and DVD Label Systems, or disc-friendly marker pens

You may find that your device could benefit from a firmware upgrade. Firmware is the controller software inside the device that tells it how to function, and upgrades can often make the device faster, more efficient, and less prone to failure.
