Why does my CD-RW drive not record at the highest speed? (PCG-FX702 and PCG-FX705 only)
You must use 8x CD-R or 4x CD-RW media or higher to achieve optimum performance.
If you want to use other media and are having difficulty formatting non-4x CD-RW discs, change the writing
speed from 4x to a lower setting.
To change the writing speed from the default to a lower speed, proceed as follows:
1 Click Start and then My Computer.
2 Right-click the Compact Disc icon.
3 Select Properties.
4 Select the Recording tab.
5 From the lower dropdown list, select the 2x write speed.
6 Click Apply and then OK.

Generally, the reading speed of a CD-RW is slower than that of a CD-ROM or CD-R. The reading speed can
also vary depending on the type of format.
