high temperature
-
mechanical vibration
-
direct sunlight
■
Operation
- During operation, excessive vibration or a sudden jolt to the drive may cause a
malfunction.
- Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature. This may cause
condensation to collect inside the drive.

Notes on CD-RW/DVD-RW discs
This product can read CD-RW/DVD-RW disc data. Note the following:
- A little longer time is needed to sense a CD-RW/DVD-RW disc when the operation
starts, compared with standard CD-ROM/DVD-ROM discs.
- Since playback signal level of CD-RW/DVD-RW is lower than the replicated
CD/DVD discs, reading speed of those discs is lower than that of the replicated
discs to ensure data reading.
- Blank discs, discs that you failed to write data or discs that session close processing
has not been made-these discs cannot be used.
- Operation may not start, or the data may not be read under the following
conditions:
The quality of the recorded signal has deteriorated due to the dirt or scratches on
the disc, or frequently rewrote discs. If the drive fails to read the disc, open the disc
drawer, check the data side of the disc (side opposite the label side) for dust or
scratches, and reinsert the disc and close the drawer to try to read the disc again.
