Cautions
System meeting the following requirements is needed in order to use USB 2.0
operation with this drive.
•
Computer that is equipped with a USB 2.0 – compliant USB connector or PCI
adapter card, and on which the USB 2.0 EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller
Interface) driver software 1) has been installed.
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.
If you want to know in detail, please contact your USB 2.0 adapter dealer or consult
your PC manufacturer, or consult the Microsoft Corporation Web site.
•
Please note: Certain software (i.e. particularly those including Video playback) may
require a considerably increased specification PC to give acceptable results. While
this Blu-ray Disc Rewriter & HD DVD-ROM Drive can read DVD-video or
BD-MV(BD-ROM) discs, decoding them to display on your pc’s monitor requires
separate MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 decoding that is done by separate hardware (either
an MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 decoder card or MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 decoding done
by your video card), or separate software that you install to do MPEG, H.264 or
VC-1 decoding. For further details, refer to the documentation that comes with
MPEG, H.264 or VC-1 software.
