Remember to set the DVD Region to United States on the player – "Properties" – click "Hardware Tab" – click "Properties button" – then choose "country Region" (US is 1) and OK to apply. Remember you can only reset the country 5 times. 2. For Mac OS computers, when this CD burner USB is playing a disc for CD/DVD, if you want to eject the disc, please click the icon of "Eject" icon in the playback software or from the computer system. It is invalid to eject the disc directly by pressing the eject button on of the front panel. 3. Don't place this DVD drive for laptop near strong magnetic objects.

Your computer does not natively support DVD movie playback, so you will need to download and install a third-party application, such as VLC, to watch DVDs with this CD drive USB. You could download one of the many burning software utilities available on the Internet. Or try the following: 1) Free playback software: Any media player, any DVD. 2) Free burning software for Windows OS: InfraRecorder, Ones, Express Disc Burner. 3) Free burning software for Mac OS Burn for Mac. 4) Free disc burning software for Linux OS/Unix OS K3b (KDE Burn Baby Burn). If your computer doesn't recognize this CD drive external or it doesn't play well 1. This CD drive for pc should be connected directly to the USB or USB C port on your laptop and not to a USB hub. 2. For desktop, we recommend connecting the data cable to the back USB port of the motherboard instead of the front USB port of the motherboard. 3. Ensure the CD is well placed and not scratched. Make sure there is a practical driver software installed. Or try on another computer. 4. It's better to use the external power adapter to increase the power if your devices don't have enough power to support the DVD drive external. 5. Make sure your computer has a driver (VLC Media Player or other player software.) before using the external CD rom drive. 6. Mac OS computers do not display the device icon before placing a disc in the disc tray. Just because you have a series of video files doesn’t mean they are compatible with DVDs. In fact, most computer and phone video formats are not compatible. So you need a third-party software to convert your file format to one that can be shown on discs. It won't work even you burn your file onto discs without converting format.

Review: Works as advertised; easy to use. - I ordered this disc drive for my new Mac mini Mac OS Big Sur 11.1). The first one I received did not work. When I plugged it in the USB port, the drive indicated that it was getting power, but the Mac did not seem to recognize that the drive was plugged in, with or without a disc in the tray. As instructed by a note included with the drive, I contacted the seller directly in hopes of getting a fix for this problem. The very nice sales manager (Coco) sent me some useful information, including a video, that helped me conclude that the problem was with the drive. When I let her know this conclusion, she immediately agreed to send me a replacement, which arrived within the week. The new one worked just fine, as advertised. You just plug the drive in (either in one of the USB-C ports or a USB 2 port), insert a disc, and it starts right up. No extra software is required. It comes with a USB-C to USB 2 adaptor and a nice hard-case carrier. I've played music CDs and ripped some CDs. Those procedures worked fine. I have not tried to burn a disc. I've had the working drive for only a week, but so far I have been pleased with it--works just like I expected.
Review: Works fine, but setup instructions laughably bad for use with an Mac - For a Mac user: IGNORE COMPLETELY the little insert with the setup instructions. JUST: 1. Connect the drive to your Mac with the USB cable. 2. Push the eject button on the front of the drive to verify that the drive is powered via the computer But do not look in vain for the drive icon to appear on your desktop -- go immediately to Step 3 3. Insert a readable disk into the drive. And at once there now appears a DVD drive icon on your desktop, labeled with the digital name of the disk you inserted! Transferring AIFF music files (mostly what I need to do) starts out slowly for 30 seconds or so, then goes ripping along quickly. The files are transferred error-free, so far as I can tell The unit is compact ( 6.5 " by 7" by 1.5") and seems to be build sturdily. The setup instructions were written by someone a) for whom English is not a spoken language, and b) has never tried to install and run on a contemporary iMac . (Tells you to look for a 'My Computer' icon on the desktop. I'm running OS iBig Sur 11.3.1 and there ain't no such icon to be found. Anyway, it works fine, is very quiet, and worth the money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Burner, does the job well.
*by J***T on June 5, 2021*

Burning CDs of my original music is a piece of cake with the NOLYTH USB C SUPERDRIVE. Great value, good response from company to my question about the tray not opening all the way. I know i'm old school, but I needed a burner and this one came highly recommended from a friend. I've had it a couple of months, and just finished burning a bunch of CDs with no problems.
