Operation Maximizing Performance User Support Web Site Make sure that you use High Speed discs for which this operation has been certified by Sony. For the latest information about these discs, visit the user support Web site. When using discs other than those mentioned above, the drive may limit writing speed to preserve a good reading quality. Reaching the Highest Possible Data Transfer Rate Using the drive in an environment capable of Ultra DMA transfers, makes it all the faster. To make your environment capable of Ultra DMA transfers, you should: • Enable the DMA setting in Windows. • Use an Ultra DMA-compatible product on the same ATAPI/EIDE cable used to connect the drive and hard disk. • Use an Ultra DMA-compatible ATAPI/EIDE cable. • To minimize noise interference, make sure that you position the computer internal power cables as far as possible from the ATAPI/EIDE cable when you connect the drive. Updating the Firmware We recommend using the drive with the latest firmware as some problems encountered when using the drive can be solved simply by updating the drive firmware. Firmware updates are available on the user support Web site. Hint The firmware is the built-in software that makes the drive work. 29
