LH-20A1P and LH-20A1H – The worlds first 20x DVD Rewriters by Lite-On IT
Eindhoven, The Netherlands - Many people thought 16x would be the maximum writing speed for DVD, but after the introduction of 18x DVD rewriters, Lite-On IT increases the industry standard even further by releasing the worlds first 20x DVD rewriters. With the introduction of two new internal DVD rewriters, the LH-20A1P and LH-20A1H, Lite-On IT is the first ODD manufacturer that boosts writing speeds up to 20x, reaching the fastest ever recording times for DVD media.
“As a World leading provider of optical storage solutions for PCs Lite-On IT is obliged to stay in front with new technological breakthroughs”, says Jelmer Veldman, Lite-On IT’s European marketing manager. “Lite-On is the first brand to release a 20x DVD writer. With this drive we can see recording times of a full DVD coming close to five minutes. The drive also features DVD-RAM compatibility at 12x, making it a very complete optical storage solution for everyone’s needs. And for the creative user Lite-On will release a LightScribe version of this drive as well”, Mr. Veldman adds.
The Lite-On LH-20A1P and LH-20A1H are “Super AllWrite™” DVD writers providing consumers a one-stop archival and presentation solution for anyone who has a need to copy and store information, files, photographs, music or any other important data. Both are capable of reading, writing and re-writing any disc format on the market, including DVDRAM and Double-Layer +/- format discs.

The Lite-On LH-20A1P will be available in Europe end of December 2006. The Lite-On LH-20A1H will be available in Europe early 2007.

strategy for each particular writing session. Through the drive’s self learning
mechanism, it automatically detects and decides the optimal write strategy for

About LightScribe
LightScribe is an innovative technology
that uses a special disc drive, special media, and label-making software to burn
labels directly onto the surface of a CD or DVD in a very easy way: BURN the
data, FLIP the disc and BURN the label. Because the labels are laser-etched (not
printed), there’s no ink, no smudging and no peeling.
