Cautions in Usage
Handling discs
• Do not touch or scratch the signal (shiny) side of the disc.
• Hold the disc either by both edges, or by the center hole and one
edge.
• Do not apply stickers or labels to the disc.
• Do not use cracked or signicantly warped discs. Doing so may lead
to a malfunction in the device.
• When using old or rental discs, check that there are no cracks
around the center hole. Centrifugal force from high-speed rotation
may enlarge these cracks, causing the disc to break.
• Do not use discs with special shapes (heart-shaped, hexagonal,
etc.) or other non-standard discs. Doing so may lead to a
malfunction.
• If there is dust or ngerprints on the disc, use a soft cloth to wipe
outwards from the center to the outer edge of the disc. Do not wipe
using a circular motion on the disc.
• Do not use record spray or antistatic agents. Doing so may damage
the disc.
To protect the disc, ensure it is kept in a disc case, and check for soiling or dust on the recording
surface before use.

Custom Eco function
Explanation of function
If the drive does not receive any commands (instructions for operation) from the PC for a specied period,
this function will reduce the device’s power consumption (enter the power saving mode), such as by stopping
the disc from rotating or reducing the disc rotation speed. Shortening this specied period will make the
device enter the power saving mode earlier.
• If a command is received after entering the power saving mode, the device will require some time
to bring the disc back up to high-speed rotation, which means a reduced speed of operation in the
interim.

PureRead
Explanation of PureRead function
When using this device to read a music CD, you can use PureRead. This function allows the device to
work to acquire and reproduce the original sound as much as possible such as by repeatedly reading
scratched or soiled parts of the CD. PureRead can be set to the following two modes or turned off.
Master Mode
(default setting)
This mode works to acquire and reproduce the original sound as much
as possible, but if it encounters audio data that cannot be completely
reproduced, it interpolates that data and continues with acquisition.
Perfect Mode This mode reproduces the original sound, and if it encounters audio data that
cannot be completely reproduced, it stops and halts acquisition.
OFF This mode carries out normal acquisition of music CD data. If there is a
scratch that prevents reading, interpolation will occur.
