capable” discs.

The CRW8824IX can write/rewrite at 4X and 2X speeds on the first type

played on a device (e.g., CD-ROM drive) that supports “CD-RW.”

or by a device (e.g., CD-ROM drive) that supports “CD-RW.”
• In order to write, erase, or read these discs using a CD-R/
RW drive, a drive bearing the High Speed CD-RW logo must
be used. When using a CD-ROM drive to read these discs,
the drive must be capable of reading CD-RW discs.
