The FREECOM internal CD-RW drive
The FREECOM internal CD-RW (the CD-RW Drive) can do much more than read
and write the usual CD-R discs.
When loaded with a rewritable CD-RW disc, you can record, read and edit any
kind of data. This is because the CD-RW discs allow you to rewrite information
that has already been recorded.
Features / Media formats:
Can read not only CD-R and CD-RW discs, but also video CDs, music CDs, and
photo CDs.
The recorded CD-RW media can be played in a DVD player or a multiread CD-
ROM Player, maintaining future compatibility.
Supports random UDF for easy writing to CD-RW discs.
CD-R, CD-RW discs: Ricoh, Kao, Mitsubishi Chemical, Taiyo Yuden, Mitsui
Toatsu, TDK or Kodak discs are recommend.
Occasionally the CD-R and CD-RW discs written by the CD-RW drive cannot
be read by other CD drives. These unreadable discs should be read using the
CD-RW drive.
The disc written using the CD-RW drive might not be readable by CD-ROMs
other than Multi-read compatible (Random UDF compatible) CD-ROMs.
Multiread compatible (Random UDF compatible) CD-ROMs are:
- CD-ROMs that can read low reflectance
- CD-ROMs that support Packet Write.
