Maximizing Performance Reaching the highest possible data transfer rate Make sure that you use high-speed certified discs for which this operation has been guaranteed by Sony. For the latest information about these discs, visit the user support web site. When using discs other than those mentioned above, DVDirect may limit writing speed to preserve a good reading quality. Updating the system software We recommend using DVDirect with the latest system software (or referred as firmware) as some problems encountered when using DVDirect can be solved simply by updating the system software. The system software updates are available on the user support web site. See page 54 for details. Hint The system software is the built-in software that makes DVDirect work. Using 48x read/write speed for CDs The default read/write speed for CDs of this DVDirect is 40× speed. With a single touch, you can make the read/write speed 48× speed. Notes • 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. • This function does not guarantee a 48× write speed. Depending on the condition of the disc you are using, the speed may be lower. • This function does not increase read/write speed with CD-RW discs. 1 Insert a disc into DVDirect. The read/write speed when you insert a disc is normally 40× speed. 2 Press the eject button for five seconds. A few seconds later the read/write speed switches to 48× speed. Hint When you open the disc tray, the read/write speed reverts to its default of 40× speed. 46
