3.0 PRODUCT DEFINITION

3.1 GENERAL

This drive unit is compatible of playing DVD-ROM, DVD+R,DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL,
DVD-RW, DVD-RAM(Ver.2), CD-Audio, CD-ROM(mode 1 and mode 2), CD-ROM XA(mode 2, form 1 and
form 2), Photo CD(single and multiple sessions), CD Extra, CD-RW, CD-TEXT discs. This drive unit can
playback CD-I (FMV) and VIDEO CD with special hardware, This drive unit can also play DVD-Video with
special function, such as MPEG decoder. This drive unit can operate in 6.6-16xCAV(Constant Angular
Velocity) speed at DVD-ROM data and 20-48xCAV speed at reading CD-ROM for data tracks with a sustained
mode 1 data transfer rate of 7200 kBytes/sec (outside track), respectively. This drive supports these writing
modes and methods as below
12xPCAV speed DVD-RAM (Ver. 2)writing
: Random and Sequential.
20xCAV speed DVD+R writing and 8xZCLV speed DVD+R DL writing and 8xZCLV speed DVD+RW
writing
: Random, Sequential and Multi-Session.
20xCAV speed DVD-R writing and 12xCAV speed DVD-R DL writing and 6xCLV speed DVD-RW writing
: Disc at Once, Incremental, and Multi-Border. Restricted overwrite (DVD-RW only)
48xCAV speed CD-R writing and 32xZCLV speed CD-RW writing
: Disc at Once, Track at Once, Session at Once Variable size Packets and Fixed size Packets.
This drive does not have CD-DA audio circuitry, and ADPCM audio circuitry required to support audio modes
other than CD-DA specified in CD-ROM XA. Also the audio circuitry inside this drive is not for DVD-Audio.
This drive unit is designed with a sealed construction to ensure dust free operation. This drive unit accepts a
standard CD disc using a power tray for both loading and unloading, and can operate in both the horizontal and
vertical orientation. This drive unit is used inside the host computer.

3.2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The drive unit has an optical pickup head, servo electronics to maintain correct focus, tracking, feed position,
radial tilt and spindle speed, digital electronics to recover the recorded data and provide error correction in
Mode 1 and Mode 2 Form 1 to the maximum capabilities of the CD-ROM ECC, and a IDE/ATAPI interface to
the host computer. This drive has hardware layered error correction (LECC) for the main channel data of the
CD-ROM. This drive unit also provides error correction of the DVD-Video and DVD-ROM.This device
supports 6.6-16xCAV speed for DVD-ROM data tracks transfer rate of 22MBytes/sec. (outside track) and
20-48xCAV speed for data tracks with a sustained mode 1 data transfer rate of 7200kBytes/sec. (outside track),
respectively. The IDE controller has a 2Mbytes data buffer, and insures that in all cases a full block of data is
transferred at the designated data transfer rate on the IDE bus as specified in section 4.3.7. As for the drive, it is
equipped with the buffer under run pr ot ect i o n feat ure in writing.

The mechanical design of this drive is a completely sealed construction to prevent any air passage through the
unit and dust contamination. All of the through holes especially, the openings around the connectors in the rear
panel is sealed.

A 6-pin male drive mode setting connector, a 4-pin DC power connector and 40-p in IDE connector are located
at the back of the drive unit. A more detailed description of the cables, connectors and eject mechanism is
included in the mechanical section (section 9) of this document.

The drive unit shall be designed to be mounted inside of a host CPU enclosure. The drive has Busy LED. The
drive supports the software volume control. The drive's front bezel has a manual eject button and emergency pin
hole. The drive is sealed construction to prevent air movement through the unit and ensure dust free operation.
The outline mechanical dimensions of this drive unit is industry standard 5.25" half height form factor with four
mounting screw threads on each side, and four on the bottom.
This drive has a motor powered tray to load and unload the disc. The tray is a design that serves only as a holder
for the disc. The drive can only be mounted and operated in the horizontal orientation and the vertical
orientation.

The mediums are DVD+R(Single and Double Layer), DVD-R(Single and Dual Layer ), DVD+RW(Single ),
DVD-RW(Single ), DVD-RAM(Ver.1 and Ver.2), DVD(Single and Dual Layer), CD, CD-ROM, CD-R and
CD-RW disc. Alternatively, any standard CD-Audio disc is playable and compatible with this drive. The disc
shall conform to optical and mechanical Standards as set forth in the DVD, RED, YELLOW and
ORANGE(Part 2,3 ) BOOK.
