Turbo Boost Function
The default CD-R and CD-ROM read/write speed of this drive is 40× speed. With a single touch, you can activate the Turbo Boost function, making the read/write speed 52× speed.
CAUTION
• On rare occasions, some discs may not be able to
tolerate 52× speed, causing them to break. We recommend that you do not use deeply scratched, brittle, or other discs that may break at 52× speed.
• The Turbo Boost function does not increase read/write speed with CD-RW or DVD-ROM discs.
1 Insert a disc into the drive.
The speed when you insert a disc is normally 40× speed.
2 Press the Eject button for five
seconds.
The Busy indicator blinks twice and the speed switches to 52× speed. (The Turbo Boost function is active.)
Notes
• When you want to write at 52× speed, insert the disc
into the drive, activate the Turbo Boost function, and then start writing to the disc.
• When writing with the Turbo Boost function, the Busy indicator blinks more rapidly than usual. (About twice as fast as when writing at the default write speed.)
• When you open the disc tray, the speed reverts to its default of 40× speed.
• The Turbo Boost function does not guarantee a 52× write speed. Depending on the condition of the disc you are using, the speed may be lower.
