Matters to be attended to:
This drive adopts RPC-II for its “Standard Specification Model”.
This DVD-RAM Drive adopts RPC-II, the Phase II System of RPC (Regional Playback Control) for “Standard
Specification Model”, on the basis of a contract with the CSS (Contents Scramble System) organization. (all of our
former DVD-RAM Drives adopted RPC-I, the Phase I System.)
The CSS rule requires that all the products not only DVD-RAM Drives but also PC systems installing DVD-RAM
Drives sold from Jan.1, 2000 need to support RPC-II described above.
To playback a DVD-Movie Software with the Regional Code specified by using a DVD-RAM Drive with RPC-II
adopted, either the hardware or software used as applications on PC system side is also required to meet RPC-II.
Namely, in the status that a hardware or a software for a DVD-Movie Playback Application planned to use in a PC
does not support RPC-II, if the "RPC-II (Standard Specification) Drive" is used in combination, DVD-Movie
Softwares with the Regional Code specified (most of DVD-Movie Softwares currently available on the market)
cannot be reproduced. So, in such a case, "RPC-I Specifications Supported Model" must be purchased for a while.
However, all the drive manufacturers must obey to the deadline specified by the CSS rule saying; all DVD-RAM
Drives have to implement Phase II from Jan.1, 2000. So we recommend that you will change your DVD-Movie
Playback Hardware or Software to those applicable to the PRC-II as soon as possible and investigate to combine
your system with the RPC-II Specification Drives.
Since we determine the drives are of RPC-I or RPC-II when manufacturing at factory and ship, the specification
change after shipping is not available in principle. Especially, changing the RPC-II specification drive to the RPCI is prohibited by the CSS rule.
In the combination of the drive and PC system with RPC-II supported, as far as the Regional Code of a DVD-Movie
Software and the code memorized in the RPC-II Specification Drive coincides, the Movie Software is allowed to
carry out.
In the RPC-II Specification Drive, the region change by an end user is permitted up to 5 times in total including the
initial region set. After change to the fifth region is carried out, the Drive enters Parm State (“no change allowed”
status).
The drive with Parm State is permitted up to 4 times of "reinitialization" by a drive manufacturer or a specific
service center authorized by the CSS. Since it is considered that the reinitialization is carried out after the
completion of the region confirmation through test items in the PC manufacturer’s manufacturing line or the
completion of drive repair, etc., the number of reinitialization times may vary from 0 (no reinitialization available)
to 4 times. So, we recommend that not to disclose the reinitialization process to end users but only to inform the
number of region setting times as "end user’s direct region setting is available up to 5 times in total."

The voltage is added on the TERMPWER signal from the internal side of a drive. The maximum
power supply current from internal side of a drive is 1.1A. If the current exceeds this level, the
internal current limiter operates to stop the voltage addition. After the cause of excess current is
removed, the signal returns to the original status.

14.1 Disappearance of data in buffer in a write cache operation
In a write cache operation, before data are actually written to a disc, a status response to the WRITE
command or WRITE & VERIFY command is sent. If the power supply is switched off immediately
after the status response, there is a possibility that the data in the buffer will disappear before being
written to the disc. To avoid this problem, execute FLUSH CACHE command before switching off
the power supply.
Always execute FLUSH CACHE command before switching off the power supply, to avoid any risk
of disappearance of data in buffer.
14.2 Error report in a write cache operation
When an error which cannot be recovered before all the data is received and written in the buffer and
a status response to the command is sent in the write cache operation, the error is reported as 71H in
REQUEST SENSE DATA. This shows that the error occurred on the last WRITE command or
WRITE & VERIFY command.
14.3 Automatic sector replacement at a write operation
When data can not be written to the disc normally due an unrecoverable error, such as ID NOT
FOUND, the drive replaces the sector by sector replacement processing. The drive prevents data
from being lost by this operation as much as possible. Because automatic sector replacement
processing is executed after write retry ends in an error, a time of between 7 to 15 seconds is needed.
Therefore, it is recommended that the time-out to the command generating access to the disc is set at
20 seconds or more. In a write cache operation, when automatic sector replacement processing is
done after a status response to the command is send, execution of the following command can be
made to wait. However, when the following command is a WRITE command or WRITE & VERIFY
command, the first data transfer of one block is executed without waiting, to prevent a time-out of the
host.
14.4 Verification of a block address
When the command is received, a drive calculates block addresses where the data are written or read,
with the start address and length specified by the command, and verifies whether the block addresses
contain a block address which does not exist. If such a block address exists is founded, the drive does
not record nor read, and reports on the error to the command at once.
14.5 Error generation in Read Modify Write operation
If, in a WRITE command and WRITE &VERIFY command, a start address number is not other than
*****0H or a block length is other than *16 x (integer)* though the start address number is *****0H,
the drive reads all data in an ECC block which contain the specified address once, and replaces the
data in the ECC block by the data of the specified address. This chain of operations is called "Read
Modify Write Operation". In "Read Modify Write Operation", in WRITE command and
WRITE&VERIFY command, an error occurs when the data of the ECC block cannot be read for
some reasons.

OD-A017-02
TOSHIBA DVD-RAM SD-W1111‘99/06/26 Version 1.0
Moreover, not only the data which tried to be recorded but also the data of other addresses in the
same ECC block might be lost due to the failure to record.

Emergency eject tool1 piece.
15.2 A bare disc setting at vertical installation
In case of using a bare disc (ex. DVD-ROM or CD-ROM) at vertical installation, use disc holders on
the tray. Please read the following explanations thoroughly at this time.
1. Draw three disc holders among the four holders on the tray, two pieces are both holders in down
side, one piece is on a rear part in upper side while made to vertical posture as follows.
(Note) Please use 3 pieces holders because the set of the disc becomes difficult when four disc
holders are drawn out.
2. Drawing out a disc holder (pull return) can be easily done with inserting a propelling pencil ahead
in the hole that is installed on the disc holder.

3. First hang a disc on a disc holder in an upper and rear side of a tray, and then put the disc on disc
holders in a down side of the tray.
4. Check three disc holders to confirm to the disc surely.

Notes in use
(1) A disc might be scratched, damaged and dropped from a tray when used with a disc not correctly
installed. Please install correctly and use a disc.
(2) Please do drawing out (pulling return) a disc holder before setting a disc in a tray.
(3) Please do drawing out (pulling return) a disc holder with the power supply not supplied to the
drive as much as possible, because the auto-loading function might work and the tray might enter
the drive during drawing out or pulling return the disc holder.
When doing with the power supply to the drive unavoidably, work carefully holding the tray by
hand firmly.
(4) When using a drive by vertical posture, 80 mm DVD/CD cannot be used.
(5) When DVD-RAM (cartridge type) is used, the position of a disc holder need not be returned.

15.3 Disc eject at emergency
Please do according to the following procedures when it is necessary to take out a disc from the drive
in the emergency.
Check that the power supply of the drive is turned off and one minute or more passes.
Insert an attached emergency eject tool in the emergency eject hole and push bumping inside. (Figure
1)
Front bezel opens a little and an inside tray rises. (Figure 2)
When the tray comes out forward, draws out it and the disc is taken out. (Figure 3)
Please draw out the tray with an emergency eject tool, when the tray does not come out. (Figure 4)
