How to use discs
Important
The BD-ROM/DVD Writer lets you write DVD±RW discs with Cyberlink Power2go and
enables "packet writing" (high-speed recording) with Instant Burn.
The drive also lets you write DVD±R discs with Cyberlink Power2go.
Caution
It is illegal to make unauthorized copies of DVD or software titles. A person who
makes illegal copies can be held responsible for copyright infringement.
If you use low-quality discs, this can increase the recording time or make it
impossible to use the disc.
You can use the drive to play Audio CD, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW and DVD-ROM discs. If your
computer recognizes the [CD-ROM] icon designated to the BD-ROM/DVD writer as the 'E:'
drive, insert a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM disc and access the 'E:' drive.
To play a DVD Video disc:
You need a DVD decoder board or DVD decoder software program. (Provided with
Power DVD)
Use Power DVD to change the region code of the BD-ROM/DVD Writer.
The RPC feature is supported on DVD players and is used with DVD-video discs (such as
movies). The motion picture industry has divided the world into different regions that
correspond to the regional markets into which the motion picture industry releases movies.
Movies worldwide have RPC codes, based on the region of the world in which they are
being sold. These RPC codes help to control and prevent pirating of new movies into
other motion picture regions before their release within those markets.
This drive supports RPC phase II. In the RPC-2 mode, users can change the local code.
RPC-2 is selected by default for this drive.
You can change the region code up to five times via an MPEG application.
Please contact your dealer or local SAMSUNG representative if you need to change the
local code more than five times.

How to use MAGIC SPEED (Option)
What is MAGIC SPEED?
MAGIC SPEED is a program that enables the user to select the reading speed of CD disc
between two modes offered by the drive: Maximum Speed Mode (Max Mode) and Silent
Mode.
Important
MAGIC SPEED may not be provided depending on the specifications.
Development background
Modern ODD products offer a high reading speed.
With the increased reading speed, faster data processing has become possible. However,
high rotation speed often causes more noise, and it is more probable that damaged discs
crash. Against this backdrop, we have developed a Speed-down algorithm and applied
this technology to newly-launched products to provide a safer and more comfortable
environment.

irmware Update
heck your firmware version.
arranty Statement
arranty statement for your product
What is the Speed-down Algorithm?
The Speed-down Algorithm operates the device at a safer disc reading speed. This
prevents possible disc crashes when the disc has cracks. For customers who want
to play CDs at maximum speed, MAGIC SPEED lets customers choose the reading
speed. (The writing speed will not be limited)
Top
What is MAGIC SPEED and how to use it?
MAGIC SPEED mode
Max Mode: Set the reading speed to the maximum level for the drive.
Silent Mode: Set the reading speed to a stable low speed.
When the PC restarts, all modes set by MAGIC SPEED will be reset to low noise mode.
If you want to use the maximum speed mode, change the settings as necessary.
Caution
A disc with a crack can crash when you operate it in Max Mode. We recommend
you that you use such discs in Silent Mode. We also recommend that you make a
copy of such discs and use the copy.
Get the MAGIC SPEED program from our website. Then install it on your computer.1.
Right-click the MAGIC SPEED tray icon to start the program.2.
Select the desired mode and select Settings.The reading speed of the drive will be in
3.
the selected mode.
Select Close to exit.
4.
The reading speed will be active until it is changed or the program stops.
Note
We recommend you to use Max Mode for data copy or disc copy, and Silent
Mode for normal operation.
Other functions
To disable Auto-Run
This is a default feature that automatically runs when the PC starts.
If you want to disable the auto-run feature, deselect the auto-run option in the
tray icon menu.

Caution: Possible errors
The drive uses laser light to write data onto the surface of the disc. Writing errors can occur if
you use a damaged disc. Make sure to prevent the conditions below before you start to write
a disc.
Note
These settings are recommended for all drives.
Do not use multitasking. Disable the screen saver. 1.
buffer under-run can occur if the system uses multitasking while the drive writes data.
Do not let any outside computer access the host PC while the drive writes data. 2.
n error can occur if another user accesses a network printer while the drive writes
data.
Disable the CD auto-run feature on all drives. 3.
If you insert an auto-run CD into another drive within the same system while the drive
writes data, this can cause an error.
It is recommended that you use the image file format when you write a large number of
4.
small-sized files.
When there are many small files to write, the transfer rate decreases and the Buffer
underrun protection feature works at a more frequent rate. This causes a lower writing
quality.
If you are doing a CD-to-CD copy, it is not necessary to verify if you have available
space on your hard disc.
However, in the case of image files, we recommend that you make sure you to have at
least two times the amount of space needed for the data on your hard disc. This is
because image files are copied to the hard disc before they are copied to the media.
Use a regulation-length (50 cm) or shorter S-ATA cable. 5.
If you use an S-ATA cable longer than 50 cm, this can cause a transmission error.
Do not use more than one type of writing software. 6.
Before you install a writing program, make sure to first uninstall existing versions of the
program or other writing programs. After you uninstall any software, restart the PC.
(The Windows operating system can be damaged if you install different language
versions)
HomeIndex
Note
We recommend that you use the data recording software provided by Samsung.
If you use other recording software, this can cause an error.
The disc has bad properties, or there are other discs wi th bad properties under
1.
the same ID.
The drive examines the disc properties to determine the best write conditions for the
type of disc. Because the two types of disc have the same property data but different
properties, it is often not possible to use the same settings. It is necessary to decrease
the writing speed to make the writing more stable.
If discs from two different disc makers have the same writing speed according to the
labels, but actually have different writing speeds, it is necessary to reduce the writing
speed.
Samsung standards to decrease writing speed 2.
Standard 1: If there are high-speed discs in the market that have very bad property
data, the writing speed is decreased. This also happens if there are low-speed discs
with the same ID.
Standard 2: Discs for which the speed was reduced, will be examined again. If low-
speed discs are no longer available in the market under the same ID as a highspeed disc, the decreased writing speed will no longer apply to the high-speed disc.
Note
It is possible that you do not get good writing quality with discs from manufacturers
that are not registered in the drive's firmware.
We thus recommend that you only use discs from recommended companies.
Always make sure that the writing was successful before you put the disc in
storage. This is very important when you want to store important data.
(Samsung is not responsible for any loss caused by a backup failure)
Note
We update the list of supported media on a regular basis and make them available
in our firmware upgrades.
DVD mediaBestLess than 3:30 minLess than 30:00 min
Note
Does not support DVD-R for Authoring.
Cannot playback or record on both sides of a dual layer disc simultaneously.
The read/write capacity of the supported discs depends on the condition of the

not be perfect.
