Updated on Feb 24, 2026

Overburn is the process of recording data past the normal size limit. Many disc manufacturers extend the recordable area on a disc, leaving a small margin of extra recordable area along the outer edge. The Overburn setting allows you to turn On or Off the ability to burn to the overburn area on a disc. The default setting is Off.

WARNING! Turning the Overburn setting to On may cause damage to your discs or Writer drives during the burn process.

1. From the Setup Menu, press the UP or DOWN button to navigate to Overburn. Press the ENT button to enter the Overburn menu.

2. Press the UP or DOWN button to select On or Off. Press the ENT button to confirm your selection. You will exit to the Setup Menu.
