Do not disassemble.

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.

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 into which the motion picture indu stry rele ases movies. Simp ly put,
RPC codes are placed on movies marketed throughout the world, based on the region of the world
inwhich they are being sold. These R PC 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 applicatio n.

Please contact your dealer or local SAMSUNG representative if you w ish to change the local code
more than five times.

What is 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 spee d.
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 newly­launched 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 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 noise 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.

Caution

How to Use MAGIC SPEED

DVD Writer records 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.

It is recommended that you use the image file format when you write a large number of small­sized 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 wri ti ng 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.

Select Languages

English

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 media.

Use a regulation-length (50cm) or shorter S-ATA cable.

Using an S-ATA cable longer than 50cm 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.)

It is recommended to use the data recording softwar e provided by Samsung.
You may experience an error if you use other recording software.

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 48X
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.
