Variable-Speed CD-ROM Drive

Your NEC Versa notebook might ship with a 24X maximum/12X minimum variable- speed CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM drive is assigned an available drive letter. Use the CD-ROM drive to load and start programs from a compact disc (CD) or to play your audio CDs. The CD-ROM drive is fully compatible with Kodak™ multisession Photo CD™ discs and standard audio CDs.

he CD-ROM drive operates at different speeds depending on whether the CD you are using contains data or music. This allows you to get your data faster and to see smoother animation and video. Note that data is read at a variable transfer rate depending on its location. For example, the maximum rated speed is generally achieved only when reading the outermost track on a completely filled CD.

he CD-ROM drive offers the following features (see the following figure).

Status LED — Lights during data read operations. Do not eject the CD or turn off the NEC Versa notebook when the indicator is lit.

Emergency Eject Hole — Allows you to manually remove a disc from the CD-ROM drive if the eject function is disabled by software or a power failure.
