2) Recording format using organic dye material ( DVD-R / DVD+R ) The format that records data through the creation of recorded marks by changing the organic dye material with a laser beam. Disc structure Recording principles [ Recording ] Recording is done by changing the organic dye layer and the substrate with a laser When a strong laser is applied to a disc, the temperature of the organic dye material goes up, the dye is decomposed and the substrate changes at the same time.
Page 149
3) Recording format using phase-change recording material ( DVD-RW / DVD+RW ) • Data is recorded by changing the recording layer from the amorphous status to the crystalline status, and played back by reading the difference of the reflection coefficient. Amorphous: Non-crystalline.
Page 150
To make recordings, it is necessary to modulate the write pulse, which is called “Write Strategy”. There can be many types in Write Strategy. Typically Write Strategy for DVD ±R has NMP(Non Multi-Pulse) type and MP(Multi-Pulse) type. In NMP type each single mark is created by subsequent separated short pulses. In MP type each single mark is created by one continuous pulse.

2. ALPC Program Configuration ALPC Program consists of total 4 files. ALPC.exe LgBada.dll modelnm.txt WNASPI32.DLL These 4 files should be located in one directory. ALPC.exe is a program execution file. modelmn.txt is a configuration file. Determine how to connect The following contents are included when you open "modelnm.txt" file. The following contents are included when you open LGE connect=0 connect=0 is the item which you can determine whether you use Serial or ATAPI.

5. Optical Power Setting When replacing Travers ass’y including Pick-up or Loader PCB, Optical Power Setting should be performed for Pick-up and Loading PCB’s matching. ➀ DVD LD optocal Power Setting • Select DVD and Setup mode • Push . (Read Power On. Strong Red light can be seen from pick up optical lens.) •...

6. Optical Power Setting Parameter Check Use when defective happens even though LD test result is normal. When defective can be found but power test result is OK, You need to check current settings whether they are proper or not. In this case, Pressing will display ALPC Parameter Info window and show current optical power settings recorded in EEPROM(IC302).

Appendix. How to measure optical power Optical power measurement is measuring actual optical power coming out from an object lens with LD turned on. thus, In order to measure optical power, LD should to be turned on and environment need to be dark enough. If necessary, Cover the top side of the sensor with black paper or hand when measuring.
