The Latest Features Auto Balance System (ABS): With the rotary speed of optical drives becoming higher and higher, the off-center load of the disc obviously increases and the vibration of the spindle motor becomes aggravated. Our Auto Balance System can effectively decrease the vibration under the high-speed rotation and improve the quality of information reading and writing sharply. Dynamic Damping System (DDS): When a disc drive reads an imbalanced disc, an outer force emerges from the rotating transverse axle as follows: M3 is the rotating axle, and M2 is called the dynamic damping apparatus and M1 is the loader and frame. This dynamic damping system can decrease vibration by one-third or less. [. . . ] Try re-loading the CD/DVD disc with its label side up.
