This DVD/CD RW drive can be used in
systems with the following capabilities.
❑ CPU: Pentium II 400 MHz (with MyDVD:
Pentium III 800 MHz) or higher.
For stable writing performance at high
speeds, the CPU speed should be
considerably higher than the above
minimum requirement. Therefore, a
Pentium III/800 MHz or higher is
recommended.
❑ PC/AT-compatible PC
❑ OS:
Windows 98 Second Edition
(Windows 98 SE),
Windows 2000 Professional
(Windows 2000),
Windows Millennium Edition
(Windows Me),
Windows XP
Home Edition or
Windows XP Professional
(Windows XP)
❑ At least 128 MB RAM
(with Windows XP: 256 MB RAM)
❑ 1 GB (with MyDVD: 10 GB) free hard
disk space
System Requirements
❑ One available EIDE (ATAPI) interface
connection with DMA capability
❑ One empty 5-inch half-height drive bay
❑ One available internal +12 V/+5 V power
connector
CAUTION
• The above system requirements are given as minimum
requirements for a system on which basic writing
performance to supported CDs/DVDs can be obtained.
In actual use, the requirements for the writing software
and other supplied software also have to be taken into
consideration. (Normally, these requirements are be
higher than the above specifications.) Refer to your
software user’s guides for details.
• The drive cannot be assured to operate properly if
connected to an ATAPI interface adapter card (we
cannot guarantee compatibility or offer user support).
• Writing speed may automatically be adjusted
depending on the disc, specified speed, or disc
conditions such as weight imbalance and eccentricity.
• Writing on CD-R/-RW discs at 1× and 2× speed is not
supported. Also, this drive does not support
CD-R/-RW that only support 1× and 2× speeds.
• Appropriate discs are needed when writing at 4×
speed to DVD+RW/+R/-R, 10× speed or faster to CD-
RW, and 2× speed to DVD-RW.

DVD-Video Playback and Region Codes
The playback of DVD-Video (DVD discs) is
protected and controlled by a region code
setting*.
*Region Playback Control standard (RPC
standard)
In order for the DVD/CD RW drive to play
back DVD-Video disc, the region code on
the DVD disc, the region code of the DVD/
CD RW drive, and the region code of the
DVD-Video software must all match.
DVD-Video Playback and Region Codes with the DRU-510A
With the DRU-510A, the region code can be
set up to five times, including the initial
assignment (RPC phase 2 standard). The
DVD-Video playback software sets the
DRU-510A region code.
Important
After setting the region code five times (including the
initial setting), the setting becomes permanent and can
no longer be changed. From this point on, you are only
able to play back DVD-Video discs whose region code
matches the one set the fifth time.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to make unauthorized changes to the
region code. Any problems resulting from doing so are
not covered by the warranty.
Points to Consider when Playing
DVD-Video Discs
DVD-Video disc playback conditions are
sometimes determined by software
manufacturers. Because the DRU-510A plays
back discs as determined by software
manufacturers, some drive functions may not
always perform as expected. When playing
back DVD-Video discs, refer to the
instructions accompanying each disc.
