A new technology called Just Link incorporated
that overcomes buffer underrun problems
Buffer underrun errors that would occur when data transfer falls behind writing operation has been
inevitable for CD-R/RW drives. Just Link, which we at Ricoh developed on our own, is a new
technology that predicts possible occurrences of buffer underrun errors in advance and automatically
avoids them. The MP5120A is the industry's first-ever drive that features Just Link. With this
technology, the MP5120A ensures stable writing operation even under circumstances where buffer
underrun errors tend to occur with conventional drives.

Capitalizing on Ricoh's expertise accumulated with existing CD-RW and DVD-ROM combination
drives, we have developed some new mechanisms to achieve incorporation of DVD+RW rewrite
