MAGIC SPEED is a program that supports users to select at his or her discretion the reading speed of CD disc between two modes offered by drive: Maximum Speed Mode (Max Mode) and Silent Mode. Development Background ODD products launching nowadays are providing a high reading speed. With the increased reading speed, faster data processing has become possible. 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 new launching 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 start. 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. Do not expose it to severe temperature fluctuations. (Exposure to such environment may cause congealing. ) This part of the manual is to prevent damages or data loss. Read carefully and use the device properly. Do not touch the surface of the disc.
