[Important Notes Before Purchase] STEP 1:Ejecting Discs on Mac:​ Due to macOS restrictions, the physical button will not eject the disc after playback or burning. Please right-click the disc icon on your desktop and select "Eject," or use "File" > "Eject" within Finder. STEP 2:Connections & Power:​ For optimal performance, connect directly to your laptop's USB port. When using with older desktops or under-powered USB ports, please use the provided auxiliary power cable for stable operation. STEP 3:Software Required:​ "Plug and Play" means no hardware driver is needed, but software (like VLC for playback, Nero/Burn for burning) is still required to play or burn discs.
