Briefly explain the phase-change compound of a CD-RW disk On a new, blank CD, all of the material in the writable area is in the crystalline compound form. When it is heated to its melting temperature it becomes darkened and is non-reflective. 14. Briefly explain the erase process for CD-RW disks. The erase laser of the CD burner heats the material of the CD-RW to the crystalline state, in effect, removing the darkening so that it becomes translucent again. 15. Briefly explain why older CD drives cannot read newer CD-RWs, but the newer CD-RWs can read older CDs. CD-RWs do not reflect as much light as older CDs, so the older drives can’t detect data. The newer drives have the ability to adjust the read laser to work with different formats of CDs. IT: Computer Maintenance: CD & CDRW Disks and Drives Plan Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2011.
