How to use

Insert a CD or DVD into the tray, close it, and access the disc from the file manager or media player on your computer. To write discs, use disc-burning software available on your system or third-party applications, following the software prompts to select source files and burning speed.

Recommendations

Place the drive on a stable surface during read/write operations and avoid moving it while burning discs to reduce the risk of write errors. Use good quality, compatible blank discs for reliable burns, and ensure the host computer remains powered and connected until burning completes. For travel, store the drive in a padded compartment to protect the slim casing and optical mechanism.
