Installation
Through a feature called Media Monitor, the disc drive automatically monitors the cumulative use of each
individual disc. When the usage of a disc is approaching a level at which there is a risk of loss of data
through normal disc wear, the disc access light on the front panel blinks and a clicking sound is heard. Once
this point has been reached in the life span of a disc, read and write commands are still performed by the
computer. However, after a command has been performed, the disc drive immediately resumes the warning
indication.
When the Media Monitor warning occurs, immediately copy your disc. If you continue to use this disc, the
disc drive will eventually automatically write protect the disc. After that time, you will only be able to
read data from the disc or copy the disc.
Write Protect Error on Initialization
A motor speed check 1s performed when a disc is inserted into the drive. If the motor speed is on either side
of the tolerance allowed, a Write Protect Error is generated and the disc cannot be initialized or used. If
your drive is operating properly, this indication is one of a defective disc. Discard the disc.
