The cause of Buffer Under Run Error
In order to make CD-DA/CD-ROM compatible discs, it is necessary to write
the data constantly on the discs. However, data stream speed is not
always constant, especially when starting up other applications, such
as the Internet. Further, if an unexpected error occurs on the source
disc, this will create a Buffer Under Run error. These are the typical
causes of Buffer Under Run Error.[Fig-1]
Once a Buffer Under Run Error has occurred, the disc cannot be read
by a CD-ROM or in the worst case, the disc will be useless (i.e.,garbage).

The benefit to users of the BURN-Proof technology
New technology now enables many CD-R/RW drives to record data seamlessly
between the end of one recorded point and the start of another recording
point, even though data transfer may be suspended due to the occurrence
of a Buffer Under Run Error.[Fig-2]
- BURN-Proof technology is useful to prevent the creation of a useless
disc (coaster disc).
- BURN-Proof technology allows the user to multitask on their PC.
Previously, a user couldn't do any other work on the PC while recording
data. With BURN-Proof technology you do not have to suspend your work
while you are recording data.
- Lower performance PCs may also perform high-speed recording. Actual
recording speed depends upon the data transfer rate of the PC and
the PC's performance.
SANYO has named this technology "BURN-Proof".
