Introduction This product offers the following features. ❑ An internal CD-RW drive with ATAPI (EIDE) interface for PCs. ❑ Writes up to 48× speed on CD-R disc media. ❑ Writes up to 24× speed on CD-RW disc media. ❑ Reads CD-ROM discs at up to 48× speed. ❑ With the Turbo Boost function, easily switch from the default 40× read/write speed to 48× speed.1) 2) 3) 1) On rare occasions, some discs may not be able to tolerate 48× speed, causing them to break. We recommend that you do not use deeply scratched, brittle, or other discs that may break at 48× speed. 2) The Turbo Boost function does not guarantee a 48× write speed. Depending on the condition of the disc you are using, the speed may be lower. 3) The Turbo Boost function does not increase read/ write speed with CD-RW discs. ❑ Features "Power-Burn conformed" technology to prevent buffer under-run errors. "Power-Burn conformed" is used to refer to a CD-R/RW that uses CD-R/RW recording technology (ICs and/or firmware) other than Power-Burn, but provides performance equivalent to that of Sony original Power-Burn technology based on the Power-Burn concept. CAUTION • Writing speed may automatically be adjusted depending on the disc specified speed or disc conditions such as weight imbalance and eccentricity. • 1× and 2× writing speed and discs are not supported. System Requirements This CD-RW drive can be used in systems with the following capabilities. ❑ CPU: Pentium 266 MHz or higher For stable writing performance at high speeds, the CPU speed should be considerably higher than the above minimum requirement. For writing at 48× speed, a Pentium II/400 MHz or higher is recommended. ❑ PC/AT-compatible PC ❑ OS: Windows 98 Second Edition (Windows 98 SE), Windows 2000 Professional (Windows 2000), Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me), Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional (Windows XP) ❑ At least 32 MB RAM (64 MB or higher recommended) ❑ At least 1 GB available hard disk space ❑ One available EIDE (ATAPI) interface connection with DMA capability ❑ One empty 5-inch half-height drive bay ❑ One available internal +12 V/+5 V power connector CAUTION • The above system configuration is given as a minimum requirement for a system on which basic CD-RW writing performance can be obtained. In actual use, the requirements for the writing software and "Windows" also have to be taken into consideration. (Normally, these requirements will be higher than the above specifications.) • The drive cannot be assured to operate properly if connected to an ATAPI interface adapter card (we cannot guarantee compatibility or offer user support). Package Contents Please verify that the package includes the following accessories with the drive when unpacking. If any of these items appears to be missing or damaged, please contact your supplier. • CD-RW drive unit • 40 pin ATAPI (IDE) flat cable ͡Ίʹ ˘ ATAPI CD-RW ˘ CD-R 48 ͕Ͱ͖·͢ɻ ˘ CD-RW 24 ˘ CD-ROM 48 ͕Ͱ͖·͢ɻ 40 48ഒ1) 2) 3) 1) 48 ͷͰɺ48 2 48 3) CD-RW ͙ɺʠPower-Burn ConformedʡςΫϊϩ Power-Burn Conformed CD-R/RW Power-Burn Power-Burn CD-R/RW IC ͝ҙ • 1ഒɺ2 1ഒɺ2ഒͷΈ CD-RW ˘ CPUɿPentium 266 MHzҎ্ CPU 48 Pentium IIʗ 400 MHz PC/AT OSɿ Windows 98 Second Edition (Windows 98 SE)ɺ Windows 2000 Professional (Windows 2000)ɺ Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me)ɺ Windows XP Home Edition͓Αͼ Windows XP Professional (Windows XP) ˘ RAMɿ32 M 64 M ʣ 1 G DMA IDEʢATAPIʣόείωΫ 12 V/ʴ5 V ͝ҙ CD-RCD-RWσΟεΫͷ WindowsʡͰࢦఆ • ATAPI • CD-RW • IDE 40ϐϯʣ Main Specifications ओͳ༷ Compatible disc CD-R CD-RW CD-ROM CD-ROM XA CD-DA1) CD Extra (CD+) Video CD CD TEXT Photo CD Disc diameter 12 cm 8 cm (reading only) 1) Only use discs that display the mark, showing that they conform to the CD-DA standard.
