Always make sure that the disc does not have a crack before use. If the disc has a crack (especially

around the center hole), it is recommended to make a copy immediately and use the copy instead.

When a cracked disc is used continuously, the size of the crack is likely to grow and this will

eventually result in irreparable damage to the disc.

The DVD Writer allows writing DVD±RW discs using Nero Express and enables

"packet writing" (high-speed recording) using InCD.

The drive also allows writing DVD±R discs using Nero Express.

Unauthorized copying of DVD or software titles is illegal and the individuals that make

illegal copies will be held responsible for any copyright infringement.

Using low-quality discs may lengthen the recording time or not supporting due to

reduction in double speed.

You can use the DVD Writer to playback Music CD, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, or DVD-ROM disc like a CD-

ROM drive or a DVD-ROM drive. If your computer recognizes the [CD-ROM] icon designated to the DVD

Writer as the 'E:' drive, insert a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM disc and access the 'E:' drive.

(The actual drive letter of the DVD Writer may vary depending on the user's system environment.)

To Playback a DVD Video Disc :

You need a DVD decoder board or the DVD decoder software program.

Use Nero ShowTime Essentials to change the region code of the DVD Writer.

DVD Region Protection Coding (RPC):

The RPC feature is supported on DVD players and is used with DVD-video discs (such as movies).

Currently, the motion picture industry has divided the world into different regions or zones that

correspond to the regional markets intowhich the motion picture industry releases movies. Simply put,

RPC codes are placed on movies marketed throughout the world, based on the region of the world

inwhich they are being sold. These RPC codes help control and prevent pirating of new movies into

other motion picture regions prior to their true release dates within those markets.

The DVD Writer supports RPC phase II. In the RPC-2 mode, the local code can be changed by users.

RPC-2 is selected by default for The DVD Writer.

You can change the region code up to five times via an MPEG application.

Please contact your dealer or local SAMSUNG representative if you wish to change the local code

more than five times.

What is a MAGIC SPEED?

MAGIC SPEED is a program that supports user to select at his or her discretion the reading speed of

CD disc between two modes offered by drive: Maximum Speed Mode (Max Mode) and Silent Mode.

Development Background

ODD products launched nowadays are providing a high reading speed.

With the increased reading speed, faster data processing has become possible. However, high rotation

speed often causes louder noise, and it is more possible to crash the cracked or bent discs. Against this

backdrop, our Company has developed a speed-down algorithm and applied this technology to newly-

launched products to provide safer and more comfortable environments for PC users.

※ What is Speed-down Algorithm?

It establishes a safer disc reading speed in operating the device in order to prevent possible disc

crashes in using CDs with cracks in starting. In addition, for customers who want to play CDs at its

maximum speed, MAGIC SPEED program offers the function of selecting reading speed, so that

customers can set the speed as they want. (Recording speed will run at recordable speed without

limit)

What Are MAGIC SPEED Mode and How to Use

MAGIC SPEED Mode

●

Max Mode: Setting reading speed to its maximum level provided by drive.

Silent Mode: Setting reading speed to a stable low speed.

Any mode set by Magic Speed will be reset to "Low nosie mode" when the PC restarts, so please

check the current mode if you want to use “The maximum speed mode” and change the settings

where necessary.

: A disc with crack may be crashed in playing with Max Mode. We recommend you to use

Caution

such disc in Silent Mode, or make a copy immediately before use.

How to Use MAGIC SPEED

●

First, install MAGIC SPEED program registered on our website.

On MAGIC SPEED tray icon, select right-click to execute the program.

Select the mode you want to use on Program Execution Window and select “settings”. Then,

reading speed of the drive will run in selected mode.

●

Select “Close” to exit Program Execution Window.

In this occasion, reading speed will be run in the set speed if there is no separate mode change or

program exit.

※ We recommend you to use "Max Mode" for data copy or disc copy, and "Silent Mode" for normal

operation.

※ Other functions

▶

To disable Auto Run

This is a default program that automatically runs in every PC booting.

If you want to quit this auto run function, deselect the auto run item selected on tray icon

menu.

DVD Writers record data on the disc by applying laser light onto the surface of the disc, and therefore writing

errors may occur if you use a damaged disc, for example. Be sure to eliminate the following error-causing

elements before you start writing:

* The following settings are recommended for all DVD Writer:

Avoid a situation that requires multitasking, and remove turn off the screen saver.

A buffer underrun may occur if the system multitasks while the DVD Writer is writing/erasing.

Block any outside attempt to access the host PC during a writing session.

An error may occur if another user accesses the printer connected to his/her the system via the

network during a writing session.

Disable the CD auto - run feature of the CD.

Inserting an auto - run-enabled CD in to another drive connected to the same system during a

writing/erasing session may cause an error.

GO to Start Settings Control Panel System Hardware Device Manger CD- ROM

Settings . Disable Insert AutoRun.

It is recommended that you use the image file format when you write a large number of small-

sized files.

When there are a large number of small-sized files to write, the system's transfer rate drops and

the Superlink feature works at a more frequent rate, resulting in lower writing quality.

If you are doing a CD-to-CD write, it is not necessary to check to see if you have available space

on your hard disc beforehand.

However, in the case of image files, it is recommended that you be sure you have at least twice the

amount of space needed for the data on your hard disc, as image files are copied to the hard disc

before they are copied to the CD.

Use a regulation-length (46cm) or shorter E-IDE cable.

Using an E-IDE cable longer than 46cm may cause a transmission error.

Do not use more than one type of writing software.

Before you install a writing program, be sure to first uninstall existing versions of the program or

other writing program(s) and reboot the system first.

(The Windows operating system may be damaged if you install the Korean version while the

English version remains on the system.)

Use only the writing software provided by Samsung.

You may experience writing errors if you use with other writing programs.

The disc has bad properties data, and or there are other discs with different properties

available under the same ID.

The drive's write strategy is set in a way that the drive examines to examine the disc properties and

determines the optimal write conditions for those properties.

For example, many disc makers do not bother to insert property information distinguishing 50X

discs from 32X discs. Since the two types of discs have the same properties data, although they

actually have different properties, it is often impossible to respond to the situation with a single write

strategy. In order to ensure stable writing, it is necessary to downgrade the write speed.

If discs from two different disc makers have the same write speed according to the labels, but

actually have different write speeds, it is necessary to downgrade the write speed to ensure stable

writing.

Samsung' s Standards for Write Speed Restriction.

Write speed is downgraded for the sake of write stability, if high-speed discs

available in the market have particularly bad properties data, or there are

low-speed discs available under the same ID.

Standards 1

Standards 2

Speed-restricted discs go through further examination and adjustments

later. If high-speed discs are available under the same ID with as low-speed

discs (speed restricted at present), the speed restriction is removed when

the low-speed counterparts become no longer unavailable in the market

under the same ID.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

You may experience lower write quality in case if you use disc products by some disc makers

which that are not registered with the product's firmware.

Therefore, it is recommended that you use only discs by recommended companies. Even, and

even if the write session is completed successfully, check the write quality before you put the disc

in storage, especially in case of an important data backup.

(Samsung is not responsible for any loss resulting from data backup failure.)

We update the list of supported media on a regular basis through our firmware upgrades.
