This template is used to populate the Device Infobox with information about a CD/DVD drive. See Matsushita CW-7503 for example use. As this template sits inside an infobox, it can be combined with other templates in the case of multi-function devices.

Valid parameters and examples specific to this infobox are:

Parameter	Meaning
Disc count = 1	Number of discs the drive can hold at one time. Typically only 1, although CD-changer systems will have more.
Transport = Tray	Text value for the type of disc loading mechanism. Tray - drive ejects a non-removable tray into which the disc is placed Slot - disc is inserted into, and ejected from, a slit in the front of the drive Caddy - disc is placed inside a plastic caddy and the caddy is inserted into the drive Add others to this list as needed.
Read/CD = 2 x	How fast the drive can read CDs. Use 1 x for single speed drives, 2 x for double-speed drives, etc.
Write/CD-R = 4 x	How fast the drive can write to CD-R discs at its maximum speed. Use 1 x for single speed writing, 2 x for double-speed writing, etc. For drives that cannot write CD-Rs, use 0 x.
Write/CD-RW = 0 x	How fast the drive can write to CD-RW discs at its maximum speed. Use 1 x for single speed writing, 2 x for double-speed writing, etc. For drives that cannot write CD-RWs, use 0 x.
Read/DVD = 16 x	How fast the drive can read DVDs. Use 1 x for single speed drives, 2 x for double-speed drives, etc. For drives that cannot read DVDs, use 0 x.

Default values are shown if the parameter is omitted, so do not use any parameters unless the value is known (most of the defaults say "unknown").
