The Optical Drive Mechanism
The optical drive mechanisms (RWZ53) in the autochanger of the jukebox are
multifunction drives that can operate in both rewritable and write-once modes.
The drives use both rewritable and write-once 5.25-inch magneto-optical disks
that comply with ANSI and ISO standards for Continuous Composite format.
The drives can sense a rewritable or write-once disk by the formatting on the
disk and enter the appropriate mode.
