Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing the LG External Drive.  
Features  
eSATA & Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 interface  
Buffer Under Run error protection technology  
Emergency eject support  
Bear media loading with power eject.  
CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW/+R/RW/+/-R DL, DVD-RAM, BD-R/RE(SL/DL) read and write  
compatible, CD Family, DVD-ROM and BD-ROM read compatible.  
Supports region playback control Phase II.  
Supports LightScribe Direct Label Printing Technology.  
To achieve maximum Record & Write speed your system may require data to be  
copied first to the computer’s hard drive rather than directly from another source  
disc or drive.  
Cautions  
System meeting the following requirements is needed in order to use USB 2.0  
operation with this drive.  
Computer that is equipped with a USB 2.0 – compliant USB connector or PCI  
adapter card, and on which the USB 2.0 EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller  
Interface) driver software 1) has been installed.  
1)  
The USB 2.0 EHCI driver software is supplied with currently available PCI  
adapter cards that conform to USB 2.0. Further, Microsoft has released the USB  
2.0 EHCI driver software for Windows XP, therefore it is also possible to use this  
driver software with Windows XP.  
If you want to know in detail, please contact your USB 2.0 adapter dealer or consult  
your PC manufacturer, or consult the Microsoft Corporation Web site.  
Please note: Certain software (i.e. particularly those including Video playback) may  
require a considerably increased specification PC to give acceptable results. While  
this Blu-ray Disc Rewriter can read DVD-video or BD-MV(BD-ROM) discs,  
decoding them to display on your pc’s monitor requires separate MPEG, H.264 or  
VC-1 decoding that is done by separate hardware (either an MPEG, H.264 or VC-1  
decoder card or MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 decoding done by your video card), or  
separate software that you install to do MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 decoding. For further  
details, refer to the documentation that comes with MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 software.

Caution!  
The disc rotates at high speed in the drive unit.  
Use of worn, damaged, or non-standard discs can  
adversely affect the drive and cause the disc to  
shatter or crush while in use.  
Disc crush can only occur when you use a damaged  
disc in the drive. It is an extremely rare occurrence,  
but there are steps which can be taken to prevent it.  
Always check your discs before inserting them  
into the drive.  
1. Take care not to use worn, cracked, damaged,  
warped or poor quality discs, as this may  
cause damage to your drive.  
2. Check the clear plastic on the center of the  
disc, cracks here are the main cause of disc  
crush.  
3. Do not play discs which are a non-standard  
(I.e. non-circular)shape, such as heart shaped  
discs, or discs in the shape of a business  
card.  
How can you keep your discs from becoming  
damaged?  
1. When not in use, remove discs from the drive.  
2. Keep discs in the packaging supplied with  
them and out of direct sunlight and away from  
heat sources.  
Excessive vibration or a sudden jolt to the drive  
during operation may cause a malfunction.  
Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in  
temperature as it may cause condensation to collect  
inside the drive.
