Introduction 
2.1. 
Overview 
Thank you for purchasing AOpen CRW2440 CD-R/RW drive. In this manual, we will 
explain how to install your CRW2440 CD- R/RW drive correctly. Please read this manual 
carefully before using the drive. 
High Speed 
AOpen’s CRW2440 CD-R/RW drive offers unprecedented performance to handle 
today’s demands by reading CD’s at up to 40x speed and writing CD-R or CD- RW discs 
at super 24x / 10x speed. CRW2440 writes a 650 MB disc in about 5 minutes. 
Just Link 
Just Link is a new technology developed independently by Ricoh that automatically 
prevents buffer  under-run errors by predicting them before they  happen. AOpen 
CRW2440 features Just Link technology to enable stable writing in the following 
situations where buffer under-run errors may otherwise occur in a conventional drive. 
Ÿ  With high-speed writing, 
Ÿ  When some other operation is being performed on the computer during writing, 
Ÿ  When writing CD-R/CD-RW drive from a CD-ROM drive, 
Ÿ  When writing directly via network. 
Just Speed 
Just Speed is a new technology developed independently by Ricoh. AOpen CRW2440 
features Just Speed technology to reduces disc errors such as insufficient power in 
writing and servo follow error.  The mechanism controls the maximum writing speed by 
(1) using the ATIP information (maker name, model number, etc. pre-recorded on disc),                               
(2) performing test writing to the OPC area at the inner circumference of the disc, and   
(3) getting the status of the servo follow check of the outer circumference of the disc 
(checking of track shift due to lack of precision in cutting of the disc itself). 
 
A combination of the above (1), (2), and (3) enables better certainty in high-speed writing, 
while offering support to discs where maximum writing speed cannot be obtained from 
the ATIP information 
High Versatility 
The CRW2440 is an ideal all-in-one solution for reading CD’s, copying audio/software 
CD’s, creating photo/audio/video CD’s, or acting as a storage drive for archiving or 
backup. The drive (retail pack only) comes complete with everything you need to make 
CD’s right away, including bundled software and blank CDs. With this software, you can 
create your own CDs.
