Important to read and understand at all times Do not disassemble Always make sure that the disc does not have a crack before use. If the disc has a crack (especially around the center hole), it is recommended to make a copy immediately and use the copy instead. [. . . ] However, high rotation speed often causes louder noise, and it is more possible to crash the cracked or bent discs. Against this backdrop, our Company has developed a speed-down algorithm and applied this technology to newlylaunched products to provide safer and more comfortable environments for PC users. It establishes a safer disc reading speed in operating the device in order to prevent possible disc crashes in using CDs with cracks in starting. In addition, for customers who want to play CDs at its maximum speed, MAGIC SPEED program offers the function of selecting reading speed, so that customers can set the speed as they want. (Recording speed will run at recordable speed without limit) What Are MAGIC SPEED Modes and How to Use MAGIC SPEED Modes Max Mode: Setting reading speed to its maximum level provided by drive. Silent Mode: Setting reading speed to a stable low speed. Since modes set by MAGIC SPEED function will be maintained in using the drive connecting other PC, please confirm first the setting status before use. Caution: A disc with crack may be crashed in playing with Max Mode. We recommend you to use such disc in Silent Mode, or make a copy immediately before use. How to Use MAGIC SPEED First, install MAGIC SPEED program registered on our website. On MAGIC SPEED tray icon, select right-click to execute the program. Select the mode you want to use on Program Execution Window and select "settings". Then, reading speed of the drive will run in selected mode. Select "Close" to exit Program Execution Window. In this occasion, reading speed will be run in the set speed if there is no separate mode change or program exit. We recommend you to use "Max Mode" for data copy or disc copy, and "Silent Mode" for normal operation.
