|
One configuration of the iBook has an internal CD-ROM drive. The drive uses tray-loading of the disc. The drive features a mechanism that supports 24x data transfer rates using constant angular velocity (CAV) and a data buffer that further enhances performance.
The CD-ROM drive supports the worldwide standards and specifications for CD-ROM and CD-digital audio discs described in the Sony/Philips Yellow Book and Red Book. The drive can read CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, CD-I, PhotoCD, and Video CD discs as well as play standard audio discs.
Digital audio from the CD-ROM drive can be played through the sound outputs under the control of the Sound Manager.
