Occasionally the CD-R and CD-RW discs written by the CD-R/RW drive cannot be read by other
CD drives*. These unreadable discs may need to be read using the CD-R/RW drive on which they
were written.
*
The disc written using the CD-R/RW drive might not be readable by CD-ROMs other than Multi-read
compatible (UDF compatible) CD-ROMs.
Multiread compatible (UDF compatible) CD-ROMs are:
1. CD-ROMs that can read low reflectance.
2. CD-ROMs that support Packet Write.
❏
Please note: Certain software (i.e. particularly those including Video playback) may require a
considerably increased specification PC to give acceptable results. While this CD-RW/DVD-ROM
drive can read DVD-video discs, decoding them to display on your pc’s monitor requires separate
MPEG decoding that is done by separate hardware (either an MPEG decoder card or MPEG
decoding done by your video card), or separate software that you install to do MPEG decoding.
These items are separate and are not included with this CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive.

Install the supplied CD Recording Software before using this unit.
