Power-saving Mode

If the DVD-ROM Drive Pack has not been accessed within 90 seconds, the drive motor will
automatically shut down to reduce the power consumption. When the DVD-ROM Drive
Pack is accessed once again, the power of the drive motor is turned on. However, approxi-
mately 30 seconds are required until data is actually read from the disc.
