2. Introduction

2.1. Overview

Thank you for purchasing Portable USB2.0 DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo drive. In this

manual, we will explain how to install your Combo drive correctly. Please read this

manual carefully before using the drive. The Combo drive provides 10X CD-RW writing,

24X CD-R writing, 24X CD-ROM reading and 8X DVD-ROM reading.

POWER-BURN

POWER-BURN is a new technology that automatically prevents buffer under-run errors

by predicting them before they happen. This Combo drive features POWER-BURN

technology to enable stable writing in the following situations where buffer under-run

errors may otherwise occur in a conventional drive.

 With high-speed writing,

 When some other operation is being performed on the computer during writing,

 When writing CD-R/CD-RW from a CD-ROM drive,

 When writing directly via network.

High Reliability

An improved anti-heat design and the OPC design boost recording reliability. Optimum

Power Control continually monitors signal levels during recording and adjusts laser

power to compensate for a dirty disc. This feature ensures a flat signal, significantly

enhancing reliability.

High Compatibility

The Combo drive supports all major CD formats, offering full backward-compatibility

through the huge installed base of CD/ROM drives and media. What’s more, reordered

CD/RW media can be played in a DVD player with multi-read feature, maintaining future

compatibility.

2.4. Type of Writing

Disc-At-Once

When only a single recording session (lead in/data/lead out) is to be recorded onto a disk,

it is called “Disc-At-Once”.

When using Disc-At-Once, no additional data can be recorded onto the disc, even if

there is available capacity.

The advantage of this method recording is that it enables creation of discs that can be

played back on almost any CD player or CD-ROM drive, because there are no links

inserted between the data tracks.

Track-At-Once

When many sessions are to be recorded onto a disc, it is called “Track-At-Once”. If there

is space available on the disc, additional data can be recorded onto it.

The advantages of this method include being able to record additional sessions onto a

disc, and using a CD-ROM of backup data. (Refer to “Multisession”.)

Session-At-Once

A "Session-at-Once" recording almost corresponds to a "Disc-at-Once recording", i.e. all

data ("Lead-in", data area and "Lead-out" are written in one go.

The only difference is that the CD is not "finished", i.e. after a "Session-at-Once"

recording you still have the possibility to write a further "Session" on the CD at a later

date.

Multi-session

The recording of lead-in/data/lead-out is referred to as one session. The Disc-At-Once

method is also referred to as “Single Session”, because the disc is only recorded once. A

disc that has had multiple additional session recorded onto it using the Track-At-Once

method is called “Multisession”.

Packet Write

The Packet Write recording method was developed. It differs from Track-At-Once or

Disc-At-Once in that data is recorded in small fixed sectors of 64k bytes, known as

packets.

The advantages of this method are elimination in overhead per session and the

elimination of buffer under run errors. This method, however, cannot be utilized for audio

data. A number of formats, such as UDF and CD-R FS, can be used when recording

using the Packet Write method.

3. Hardware Installation

The installation of this Portable USB2.0 Combo drive is fast and easy. Please follow

these instructions described below:

3.1. System Requirements

A PC system with the following features is highly recommended for ensuring a stable

Combo drive performance.

 CPU: Pentium II 350 MHz or higher

 Operating System: Windows XP/2000/ME/98SE

 Memory: 64MB minimum, 128MB recommended

 CD-ROM Drive: Minimum 16X drive recommended

 USB2.0 Host controller card (Please be informed that you do not need to

install one if your motherboard is equipped with an USB2.0 controller on it.)

 USB2.0 certified cable (Included)

 Writing Software:

The drive requires CD writing software to write onto a CD-R/RW disc. When

you use the CD writing software, make sure that it supports this drive.

 Hard Drive Space:

When writing to a CD-R/RW disc, you will need a working area (50 to 100 MB

free space) on the hard drive. When creating an image file for all data to write

to a CD-R/RW disc, in addition to the working area, you will need as much hard

drive space as that data (up to 800 MB in total). However, such hard drive

space for the image file is not needed when you are directly writing from a hard

drive, CD-ROM drive or so on (on-the-fly writing).
