Outline of CD-R and CD-RW

Definition
- CD-R: The CD-R is a non-rewritable version. Once a section of a CD-R is written, it cannot be erased or rewritten.
- CD-RW: The CD-RW is a re-writable version of CD-ROM and can be written the data an unlimited number of times.
- Since a reflected laser beam amount of the CD-R/RW is less than the reflected laser beam amount of the conventional CD media, the CD player/changer may not play the CD-R/RW or have the sound jumped.
- Since the recording quality of the CD-R/RW vary widely, some CD-R/RW may not be played.
