Features

  • Active OPC (Running OPC)1 "Optimum Power Controller" provides for more reliable writes.
  • Easy-to-use drawer loading mechanism.
  • Enhanced-IDE (ATAPI) model.
  • The recorded CD-R/RW can be played on any multi-read CD-ROM Player, maintaining future compatibility.
  • Supports UDF for easy writing to CD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs.
  • Improved Buffer Under Run Error handling through the Active Link function.

1. Continuously monitors the signal level during recording and adjusts the laser power to compensate when the disc is dirty, insuring a flat signal.


Important Precautions

WARNING: Only drives (such as the NEC ND-6100A) bearing the logo "DVD+ReWritable" can write or erase DVD+RW media and bearing the logo "Compact Disc ReWritable Ultra Speed" can write or erase Ultra and High-Speed CD-RW media. Ultra and High Speed CD-RW Media may be recognized by the same "Compact Disc ReWritable Ultra and High Speed" logo on the disc label or packaging material, or by the fact that it lists recording speeds of "10X to 24X" and "4X to 10X". Attempted writes to Ultra and High Speed CD-RW media using CD-RW drives NOT bearing the logo "Compact Disc Rewritable Ultra and High Speed" may result in data loss.
 
WARNING: Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to
  • high humidity
  • high temperature
  • excessive dust
  • mechanical vibration
  • direct sunlight
WARNING:
  • Do not suddenly move the drive from a cold environment to a warm environment. Condensation may occur within the drive, causing temporary abnormal operation.
  • Remove any disc from the drive prior to moving the drive. Failure to do so may result in damaged discs and data loss.
  • Prevent foreign objects, such as liquids or metal, from entering the drive.
  • Do not interrupt the electric power while the drive is operating.
WARNING: Please backup (copy) all important data as protection against data loss.
 
WARNING: Don't pull out or push in the disc tray forcibly. This might cause damage to the loading section of the drive.
 
WARNING: Be careful to connect power with the proper polarity. Connecting the wrong way may damage the system (and voids the warranty). Usually the power connector can only be attached one way.
 
WARNING: Do not connect or disconnect cables when the power is on, as this could cause a short circuit and damage the system. Always turn the power OFF when connecting or disconnecting cables.
 
WARNING: The discs in this unit operate at a very high speed. DO NOT use damaged, cracked or warped discs. The drive's optical unit may be damaged if they break. DO NOT use non-standard discs. Non-standard discs may not play or store data  properly.


 

WARNING: When using CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, or DVD+RW discs, don't attach any stickers or labels to the discs. Using discs with labels attached not only causes read and write errors, but data on the disc may be lost due to damage to the disc itself.
