2. Stop/Eject button

This button is pressed to open the CD tray. This button works only when power is supplied to the drive. If an Audio CD is playing, pressing this button will stop it, and pressing it again will open the tray.

3. Emergency Eject Hole

Insert a paper clip here to eject the Disc tray manually or when there is no power.

4. Volume control

This is used to adjust the output volume of the headphone jack. It can’t be used to adjust the output volume for the audio output connectors on the rear panel. NOTE : Turn the volume down before turning on the power. Sudden loud noises can damage your hearing.

2) Layout of CD-R/RW disc

8. Function of PCA and PMA area

1) PCA (Power Calibration Area)

• PCA area is used to determine the correct Laser Power for a disc. – Method 1 : PCA area is divided by a track. – Method 2 : The previous Calibration value is referred. – Method 3 : ROPC is used to determine Laser Power value automatically in data writing.

• CD-R Disc can write maximum 99 Tracks but CD-RW Disc can write unlimited tracks because it has a rewritable

function.

2) PMA (Program Memory Area)

• It has a track information (track No, track Start/End time) of every track before writing completed. – PMA area has the last written point and the next writable point of a disc. – In case of CD to CD copy, some writer may not write PMA area.

* When Disc is Finalized,

PMA information is transferred to the Lead_In area so that general Driver can read it.

* Because PCA and PMA area exist before Lead-In area, General CD Player or CD-ROM Drive can’t read

these areas.

9. OPC and ROPC

1) OPC (Optimum Power Control)

• This is the first step of writing process, because CD writer has its own laser power value and media have different writing characteristics,

– This is determined by the Writing characteristic, speed, temperature, and humidity. – Laser wavelength is determined by the environmental temperature (775~795nm) and Optical Laser Power is

determined by the test and retry.

• Asymmetry and optimum writing Power

– EFM signal Asymmetry is determined by the writing power.

Therefore, Optical Power which has the same value to the preset power value can be estimated by measuring HF signal Asymmetry on the PCA area.

• Measurement of Asymmetry

* Parameter setting (Beta) : Using AC coupled HF signal before equalization

Beta = (A1+A2)/(A1-A2)

Time

P << Po

Time

P = Po

HF Signal

Time

P >> Po

2) ROPC (Running Optimum Power Control)

• Variable primary factor of Optimum Power – Change of Power sensitivity on the Disc. (limited to 0.05 *Po) – Wavelength shift of the laser diode due to the operating temperature change. – Change of the Spot aberration due to the Disc skew,

Substrate thickness, Defocus.

– Change of Disc or Optics conditions due to the long term OPC

==> It is necessary to adjust continuously to obtain the Optimum Power.

• Principle of Running OPC – To meet the factors mentioned above,

a horizontal _ direction movement of a curve is uesd.

– Beta = f(B-level) = constant on the Recorded Disc – Procedure of ROPC

a. Reference B-level is determined during OPC Procedure. b. During Recording, B-level value is controlled to have a close

Reference B-level value.

c. Normalization of B-level is used to eliminate the effect of reflectivity fluctuation.

==> The reflected B-level value is normalized by the disc reflectivity itself.

• But the actual recording capacity is about 650 Mbytes. (according to the ISO 9660 standard, approximately 30 Mbytes are used to make directory structure and volume names.)

10. Writing Process of DISC

11. Super Link

Super(SUPpressed Error Recording) link method is a new technology to link the interrupted recording by buffer under run. When drive¡ﬂs buffer will be under, the drive will stop recording and store the stop position. When drive¡ﬂs buffer receive data from HOST again, the drive will seek to the stop position of last recording and continue writing. In the read procedure, the drive can not find any error in the linking area, the data or audio will be regenerated perfectly.

12. Partial CAV Recording

Intial RPM of 52x Full CAV Recording has been considered as 10,200 RPM, 20x to 52x.

13. Optimum record speed

1. All media do not support 52 x Record by media quality. Even though a CD-R can be recorded by 52x, there is a possibility to occur recording fail during record, especially in high speed write. Before recording, Drive decides write speed by test. During the high speed write, Drive checks the record status and control the optimum record speed not to occur record fail. We call it as ‘Optimum record speed’.

2. During the record, Drive check the ATIP and Servo error. Drive thinks the current record status is unstable, stops record and decreases a record speed for getting stable record.

( 52x ---> 40x ---> 32x ---> 24x )

1. Micro processor calculates RPM of Spindle motor by FG signal comes from Drive IC.

2. Partial CAV : Reference Speed : 52X, 40X, 32x

3. The position of CAV mode is changed CLV mode, RPM will be reduced.

4. The write power between each recording speed is changed.
