“The iHES208 is a great solution for those looking for the advanced technologies of Blu-ray in home entertainment,” said Christine Hsing, Marketing Manager at PLDS. “The drive will not only allow them to play high-definition content such as Blu-ray movies, it will also let them easily share data files, presentations, home videos and other image files on DVDs or CDs.”

The iHES208 comes equipped with LightScribe technology, allowing users to silkscreen any type of artwork directly onto the surface of the LightScribe-supported CD or DVD.
