❏ Occasionally the CD-R and CD-RW discs written by the CD-R/RW drive cannot be read by other
CD drives*. These unreadable discs may need to be read using the CD-R/RW drive on which they
were written.
* The disc written using the CD-R/RW drive might not be readable by CD-ROMs other than Multi-read
compatible (UDF compatible) CD-ROMs.
Multiread compatible (UDF compatible) CD-ROMs are:
1. CD-ROMs that can read low reflectance.
2. CD-ROMs that support Packet Write.
❏ Please note: Certain software (i.e. particularly those including Video playback) may require a
considerably increased specification PC to give acceptable results. While this CD-RW/DVD-ROM
drive can read DVD-video discs, decoding them to display on your pc’s monitor requires separate
MPEG decoding that is done by separate hardware (either an MPEG decoder card or MPEG
decoding done by your video card), or separate software that you install to do MPEG decoding.
These items are separate and are not included with this CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive.

roubleshooting

9
•Cannot Read or Write Discs.
•Is the condition of everything else in the system (CPU, hard disc, and others) as it should be?
(See system environment page 2.)
•Does the CD-R, DVD or CD-RW disc have dirt or scratches?
•Did a screen saver or other application operate while writing to the disc?
•Is there enough free space on the CD-R/RW disc?
•Does writing fail even using the simulation test?
•Is the disc loaded in the drive with the read/write surface facing the right direction? (label up)
•Is the drive installed in the correct orientation?
•Was the drive or disc moved from a low temperature environment to a high temperature environment?
(There is a possibility of condensation on the lens in the drive or on the surface of the disc.)
When you call for service, be prepared to give as much information as possible of your system, environment,
and the specific problem. (What happened? When? How long? What was going on? Were there any error
messages displayed? etc.)
Please Note: Since this product supports Region Playback Control Phase II, a certain MPEG decoder card or
Software without regional code setting may cause this drive not to read DVD-ROM discs. This Drive enables
you to change the regional code up to 5 times.
Read Speed Control for CD-R Data CD
The basic default reading speed for CD-R disc media in this drive is 40X. The Read Speed Control will allow
you to select the maximum read speed (52X) for CD-R media, simply by pressing the eject button. Note that
this function is only available with a CD-R data disc. To enable 52X CD-R read speed, follow the chart below:
Flow Chart
Open the Disc Tray
Load CD-R Disc
Close Disc Tray
Initialize 52X READ
Operation User instruction
(Push Eject / button)
(Put CD-R disc on Tray)
(Push and hold the eject button for more than 3
seconds)
The LED indicator turns on for 3 seconds. The 52X maximum read speed
for this CD-R disc has been enabled. The Read Speed Control will allow
you to select the 48X maximum read speed for CD-RW Data CD.
Ejecting this disc or turning off the PC will disable the 52X maximum read
speed function. The drive will default back to the 40X CD-R read speed.
CAUTION:
The quality of CD-R data disc varies significantly from brand to brand (or brandless), as well as disc condition used over time. A disc that is poorly balanced
or that may have cracks in it greatly increases the chance of disc failure or disc shatter when being read back at speeds higher than 40X, possibly causing
damage to the drive. Closely inspect discs you plan to use in the drive for any abnormalities or cracks. If you hear strange noise or sounds from the drive
during operation, this could be a sign of an unbalanced or damaged disc and it should be removed immediately. LG Electronics does not warranty drive
damage caused by faulty or shattered discs.

Caution!
The disc rotates at high speed in the drive unit.
Use of worn, damaged, or non-standard CD-ROM discs
can adversely affect the drive and cause the disc to
shatter or crush while in use.
Disc crush can only occur when you use a damaged
CD-ROM disc in the drive. It is an extremely rare
occurrence, but there are steps which can be taken to
prevent it.
Always check your discs before inserting them into
the drive.
1. Take care not to use worn, cracked, damaged,
warped or poor quality CD-ROMs, as this may
cause damage to your drive.
2. Check the clear plastic on the center of the disc,
cracks here are the main cause of disc crush.
3. Do not play CD-ROMs which are a non-standard
(I.e. non-circular)shape, such as heart shaped
discs, or discs in the shape of a business card.
How can you keep your discs from becoming
damaged?
1. When not in use, remove discs from the drive.
2. Keep discs in the packaging supplied with them
and out of direct sunlight and away from heat
sources.
Excessive vibration or a sudden jolt to the drive during
operation may cause a malfunction.
Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in
temperature as it may cause condensation to collect
inside the drive.
