Yamaha has developed their own version of light scribe. Instead of burning images on top of the disk, Yamaha allows you to burn images onto the bottom of the disk in areas that have not been used for data storage. This is pretty cool cause now you can have a graphic on the top of your disc and put a company logo, playlist, or something to that effect on the bottom. Good idea Yamaha, i used to Wright shit in permanent marker on the bottoms before but this is much better.
