Maximizing Performance
Make sure that you use high-speed certified discs for which this operation has
been guaranteed by Sony. For the latest information about these discs, visit the
user support web site. When using discs other than those mentioned above,
DVDirect may limit writing speed to preserve a good reading quality.
We recommend using DVDirect with the latest system software (or referred as
firmware) as some problems encountered when using DVDirect can be solved
simply by updating the system software. The system software updates are
available on the user support web site. See page 54 for details.
Hint
The system software is the built-in software that makes DVDirect work.
The default read/write speed for CDs of this DVDirect is 40× speed. With a
single touch, you can make the read/write speed 48× speed.
Notes
• On rare occasions, some discs may not be able to tolerate 48× speed, causing them to break.
We recommend that you do not use deeply scratched, brittle, or other discs that may break
at 48× speed.
• This function does not guarantee a 48× write speed. Depending on the condition of the disc
you are using, the speed may be lower.
• This function does not increase read/write speed with CD-RW discs.
1
Insert a disc into DVDirect.
The read/write speed when you insert a disc is normally 40× speed.
2
Press the eject button for five seconds.
A few seconds later the read/write speed switches to 48× speed.
Hint
When you open the disc tray, the read/write speed reverts to its default of 40× speed.
