NederlandsTurbo Boost Function
The default read/write speed of this drive is 40⋅ speed. With a single touch, you can activate the Turbo Boost function, making the read/write speed 52⋅ speed.
CAUTION•On rare occasions, some discs may not be able to tolerate 52⋅ speed, causing them to break. We
recommend that you do not use deeply scratched, brittle, or other discs that may break at 52⋅ speed.
•The Turbo Boost function does not increase read/write speed withThe Busy indicator blinks twice and the speed switches to 52⋅ speed. (The Turbo Boost function is active.)
Notes
•When you want to write at 52⋅ speed, insert the disc into the drive, activate the Turbo Boost function, and then start writing to the disc.
•When writing with the Turbo Boost function, the Busy indicator blinks more rapidly than usual. (About twice as fast as when writing at the default write speed.)
•When you open the disc tray, the speed reverts to its default of 40⋅ speed.•The Turbo Boost function does not guarantee a 52⋅ write speed. Depending on the condition of the disc you are using, the speed may be lower.
