"Maximum Speed Choice" function

The CDU-5211 has a Maximum Speed Choice function where the user can select between
maximum speeds of 40X or 52X.
The drive always defaults to 40X.
To activate 52X operation press and hold the Stop/Eject button for 5 seconds.
The drive will then read the current disc at 52X speed.
When the disc is ejected the drive will default back to 40X operation.
It is recommended that 52X operation only be activated under the following conditions
- You are confident that the disc been used is in good condition and
free from marks and scratches.
- The disc is well balanced and does not have thick printed ink or
adhesive labels attached to its surface.
- The disc is not physically damaged in any maner.
Discs that have the above characteristics may reduce maximum transfer speeds due to
excessive disc vibration at 52X.
NOTE: Physically damaged discs may void warranty - refer to "Warnings &
Precautions" on page 7 of this manual.
