Term Description

What is Buffer Under-Run?

Every CD-R or CD-RW drive records the data that the Host PC wants to record until the data flow ends.

However, if the buffer becomes empty temporarily, this may cause errors in recording data.

What is Auto-Run?

If inserting a CD into a drive, the operating system executes the Autorun.inf file of the CD automatically.

What is Exaclink?

This function is to check the buffer to see if there are data while recording. If the buffer is empty, it waits at the address and then restarts recording after the buffer is full.

You can avoid Buffer Under-Run problems by applying the above-mentioned principle.
