4.4.7 Power management function
The ODD provides the power management function that minimizes the power

3) Sleep command

4.4.7.2 Active mode
In active mode, all circuits are enabled. The ODD requires the shortest time to
start processing a command.
4.4.7.3 Pre-idle mode
In pre-idle mode, the read/write circuits stop. The ODD can receive a command
from the host, but since some circuits stop, the command requires 20 ms to access
media.
The ODD automatically enters pre-idle mode if no command is issued within a
specified time (0.5 second) in active mode. When it receives an access command,
the ODD automatically enters active mode. The pre-idle mode cannot be
controlled from the host computer.
