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
higher than the above specifications.) Refer to your
software user’s guides for details.
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.
System Requirements
Writing speed may automatically be adjusted
depending on the disc, specified disc speed, or disc
conditions such as weight imbalance and eccentricity.
System meeting the following requirements is needed
in order to use USB 2.0 operation with this device.
Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0-compliant) interface
cable (included).
System equipped with a Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0-
compliant) connector or PCI adapter card
1)
, and
running the USB 2.0 EHCI device driver
2)
.
1)
The USB 2.0 EHCI driver software is supplied with
currently available PCI adapter cards that conform to USB
2.0. Further, Microsoft has released the USB 2.0 EHCI
driver software for Windows XP, therefore it is also
possible to use this driver software with Windows XP.
2)
For details, contact your USB 2.0 adapter dealer or
consult the Microsoft Corporation Web site.

Note
To guard against possible loss or damage, be sure to make a backup copy of the provided software disc on a DVD+R
disc or other media. The software disc is not sold separately.
Please Record Responsibly
Before copying anything to a disc, please be sure that you are not violating copyright laws.
Most software companies allow you to make a backup or archive copy of software. Check
your software’s license agreement for details.
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 DRX-510UL
With the DRX-510UL, 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
DRX-510UL 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 DRX-510UL
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.
