Product Information

Full details

This pack of 25 Philips CD-R discs is ideal for users needing to store data, PC music, photos, or games. The key benefit is the high write speed and printable surface for customization. A potential caveat is that CD-R technology is a write-once format, meaning data cannot be altered once written. These discs offer 700 MB of storage (80 minutes) and support a maximum write speed of 52x, featuring an ink-jet printable surface for personalization, and are supplied in a spindle for easy access.

FAQs

What is the difference between CD-R and CD-RW?

CD-R (Compact Disc-Recordable) is a write-once format, meaning data can be written only one time and cannot be erased or modified. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) allows data to be written, erased, and rewritten multiple times.

Can I use these discs in any CD player?

Generally, yes. Discs burned with standard data or audio files are compatible with most CD players and computer CD drives. However, compatibility with very old or specialized players cannot be guaranteed.

How long does data last on a CD-R?

Under ideal storage conditions (cool, dry, dark place), data on a CD-R can last for decades, often 50-100 years. However, environmental factors and physical handling can significantly shorten this lifespan.

What does '52x' write speed mean?

The 'x' refers to the speed of data transfer relative to the original standard CD audio playback speed (1x = 150 KB/s). A 52x speed means the disc can be written at a maximum rate of approximately 7.8 MB/s.

Can I print on the disc using a standard inkjet printer?

Yes, these discs have a special ink-jet printable surface designed to accept ink from compatible inkjet printers. Ensure your printer supports CD/DVD printing and use appropriate settings.

What is the maximum amount of data I can store on one disc?

Each Philips CD-R disc has a storage capacity of 700 MB, which is equivalent to approximately 80 minutes of uncompressed audio.

Troubleshooting

Disc not recognized by the drive

Ensure the disc is inserted correctly and is clean. Try a different disc or check the drive's compatibility.

Burning errors or failed burns

Close other applications running in the background that may be consuming system resources. Ensure the burning software is up-to-date. Try burning at a slower speed.

Unreadable data after burning

Verify the integrity of the source files. Ensure the burning process completed without errors. Check the disc for physical damage.

Print quality is poor

Ensure your ink-jet printer is compatible with printable CD media and that the ink cartridges are full and clean. Check printer settings for optimal CD printing.
