USES A REVERSIBLE L-SHAPED USB CABLE
Uses a reversible L-shaped USB cable that allows you to place the drive to the left or right of the PC with ease.
*Although the L-shaped USB cable can be connected to the drive in either direction, if it is inserted with the cable to the right, the cable blocks the power adaptor port. To avoid damage when using an optional power adaptor, connect the USB cable so that the cable extends to the left.
EASY CONNECTION TO PCs EQUIPPED WITH TYPE-C CONNECTORS
Type-C conversion cable included in box. Easy connection to PCs equipped with Type-C connectors.
INCLUDES A FORCED OPEN LEVER
Forced Open Lever allows you to open the lid and remove the disc manually when you forget to eject it, without using any special tools or turning the power on.
A BETTER MUSIC EXPERIENCE WITH PUREREAD 3+ FEATURING UNIQUE ALGORITHMS
When read errors caused by scratches or fingerprints occur when importing (ripping) audio CDs, using this function allows for automatic detection of the disc state, adjustment of the read method using an original algorithm, and then re-reading of the disc. This minimizes error data interpolation.
*Not all discs or all portions of discs may be playable if they are too damaged.
DISPLAYING PUREREAD MODE
With no disc inserted, press and hold the open button for at least two seconds. The busy indicator flashes, and the current PureRead mode setting is displayed. You can check the mode in advance without launching the Drive Utility on your PC.
CUSTOME ECO FUNCTION HELPS REDUCE THE DRIVE’S POWER CONSUMPTION
If the drive does not receive any commands (instructions for operation) from the PC for a specified period, this function will reduce the drive’s power consumption, such as by stopping the disc from rotating or reducing the disc rotation speed. Shortening this specified period will make the drive enter the power saving mode earlier.
*This function can be used if the Drive Utility is downloaded and installed.
*Custom Eco settings can only be changed in Windows. After changing the settings in Windows, the device can be used with a Mac.
EQUIPPED WITH ADVANCED QUIET DRIVE FEATURE TO REDUCE DRIVE NOISE
When listening to an audio CD or watching a movie on BD or DVD, this function reduces the rotation speed of the disc appropriately so that the sound of reading the disc is not distracting.
・ Quiet Mode (default setting) reduces rotational speed to avoid operational and fan noise but may increase speed during high quality video playback
・Performance Mode prioritizes recording and reading speed over sound dampening, but may slow rotational speed when watching movie titles or playing audio CDs
・Performance Mode prioritizes recording and reading speed over sound dampening, but may slow rotational speed when watching movie titles or playing audio CDs
You can choose the mode according to your purposes.
*This function can be used if the Drive Utility or Drive Utility Lite is downloaded and installed.
