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.
Output/Audio = [[Has line output connector::MPC]]

Type of internal (PCB) connector (if any) used to output analogue audio. This is different to the 3.5mm headphone connector which is an external connector. Allowed values:

See CD audio connectors for a more detailed description of each type.

  • [[Has line output connector::None]] - This connector is unavailable on this device
  • [[Has line output connector::Dupont-2]] - 2-pin 2.54mm/Dupont, looks like a normal 2-pin jumper
  • [[Has line output connector::Dupont-4]] - 4-pin 2.54mm/Dupont without latch housing, LGGR pinout
  • [[Has line output connector::MPC]] - 4-pin 2.54mm/Dupont with latched housing, LGGR pinout
  • [[Has line output connector::SBCD]] - SoundBlaster CD audio connector, small white 4-pin, OLGR pinout
  • [[Has line output connector::SBCD/LOGR]] - same SoundBlaster CD audio connector, but pinout changed to be LOGR (seems a mistake introduced on the AWE64 series)
  • [[Has line output connector::Hitachi CD audio]]
  • [[Has line output connector::Mitsumi CD audio]]
  • [[Has line output connector::NEC CD audio]] - 3-pin, R-G-L, different connector to wake-on-LAN
  • [[Has line output connector::Sony CD audio]] - looks a bit like a floppy power connector, but with different key positions
  • [[Has line output connector::Texel CD audio]]
  • [[Has line output connector::Toshiba CD audio]] - same connector as wake-on-LAN

More connector types can be added to the template page as needed.

Output/SPDIF = [[Has SPDIF output connector::Dupont-2]]

Type of internal (PCB) connector (if any) used to output digital audio. This is different from an externally accessible RCA/coax or optical output. Allowed values:

See CD audio connectors for a more detailed description of each type.

  • [[Has SPDIF output connector::None]] - This connector is unavailable on this device
  • [[Has SPDIF output connector::Dupont-2]] - 2-pin 2.54mm/Dupont, looks like a normal 2-pin jumper
  • [[Has SPDIF output connector::Dupont-4]] - 4-pin 2.54mm/Dupont without latch housing, LGGR pinout
  • [[Has SPDIF output connector::MPC]] - 4-pin 2.54mm/Dupont with latched housing, LGGR pinout
  • [[Has SPDIF output connector::SBCD]] - SoundBlaster CD audio connector, small white 4-pin, OLGR pinout
  • [[Has SPDIF output connector::SBCD/LOGR]] - same SoundBlaster CD audio connector, but pinout changed to be LOGR (seems a mistake introduced on the AWE64 series)
  • [[Has SPDIF output connector::Hitachi CD audio]]
  • [[Has SPDIF output connector::Mitsumi CD audio]]
  • [[Has SPDIF output connector::NEC CD audio]] - 3-pin, R-G-L, different connector to wake-on-LAN
  • [[Has SPDIF output connector::Sony CD audio]] - looks a bit like a floppy power connector, but with different key positions
  • [[Has SPDIF output connector::Texel CD audio]]
  • [[Has SPDIF output connector::Toshiba CD audio]] - same connector as wake-on-LAN

More connector types can be added to the template page as needed.

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").
