RECOMMENDATIONS
 Due to capacity and transfer
rate, CD and EXB-8500 8mm tape are the preferred input media for CD-image ready data.
Provide a duplicate CD or tape of the original
source when a fast turnaround is required.
Always use new media of high quality for source
material.
Maximum data size is 650 Mbytes for Mode 1 or 74
Minutes 40 seconds for audio. If larger size is required, please call (800) 704-7648.
