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 stable PC environment to user.
Explanation of MAGIC SPEED Mode and Ways to use
Explanation of MAGIC SPEED Mode
Set up this mode when you want to read a disc by the maximum
speed which is supplied by a drive.
The Maximum Speed Mode :
Set up this mode when you want to read a disc by a stable speed,
the low speed (X32).
The Low Noise Mode :
The mode selected and set using the Magic Speed feature does not change when you connect
the driver to a different PC. Make sure you check the settings before use.
Caution: In case of a cracked disc, the disc would be broken if operating in the maximum speed.
Therefore, it is recommended to operate in the low noise mode or to immediately make
a copy and use it.
Ways to Use the MAGIC SPEED
The first of all, please install the
program from Samsung's homepage.

Caution with errors
Term Description
Recommended Disc Types
Caution with errors
Every CD-R or CD-RW drive records data by applying recording laser onto a CD.
If the CD is damaged or recording data is not possible, you need to remove the following causes of the error
before using the CD.
It is recommended to set a CD-R or CD-RW drive as follows.
Do not work on a multi-tasking environment and remove screen savers.
If you work on a multi-tasking environment while the CD-RW drive is recording/deleting data, Buffer
Under-Run may occur.
Do not allow any external access to the Host PC while recording data.
If another user accesses your printer through a network while you are recording data, errors may occur.
Remove the Auto-Run function of the CD.
If you insert a CD that has the Auto-Run function to a drive connected to a PC while recording/deleting
data, this may cause errors.
How to cancel (select) the Auto-Run function
Cancel (Select) the Auto-Run function in
[Start > Setting > Control Panel System > Device Manager > CD-ROM Setting]
Use image files when you record many small files.
If you use a lot of small size files for recording, this may reduce the transaction rate of the PC. Although
Superlink function is often run, the recording quality may become low.
If you copy a CD from another, you do not require making available space in the hard disk. However,
when you use image files, you need to copy them on the hard disk first and then copy to a CD. In this
case, you need to ensure maximum 700MB of available space in the hard disk for reliable recording
process.
Use an E-IDE cable, which has the specified length (46cm).
Using E-IDE cables longer than 46cm may cause errors during data transaction.
Use only one recording software program.
To install a software program for recording, uninstall any other types or versions of recording software
programs first and then reboot the computer.
Make sure you use the recording software CD (Nero Burning Rom / Roxio Easy CD Creator) provided by
us. Using our software program with others may cause errors in recording.
Recording quality may be affected if you record using media (CD-RW blank discs) that are not
registered with the Firmware. Therefore, please use the recommended brand of discs and, for
important data backup, make sure you check the quality after recording. (Samsung is not
responsible for any data lost during a backup.)
Any media that are not on the list of supported media will be supported through our regular Firmware
upgrades.
Term Description
What is Buffer Under-Run?
Every CD-R or CD-RW drive records the data that the Host PC wants to record until the data flow ends.
However, if the buffer becomes empty temporarily, this may cause errors in recording data.
What is Auto-Run?
If inserting a CD into a drive, the operating system executes the Autorun.inf file of the CD automatically.
What is Superlink?
This function is to check the buffer to see if there are data while recording.
If the buffer is empty, it waits at the address and then restarts recording after the buffer is full. You can
avoid Buffer Under-Run problems by applying the above-mentioned principle.
