hardware block size on scsi cdrom

[Pierfrancesco Caci <ik5pvx@penny.ik5pvx.ampr.org>]

I have a scsi cdrom (Plextor) and a scsi cdwriter (Yamaha). They both
have a jumper to set the block size to 1024 bytes or to 512 bytes. The
manuals say that for Unix 512 is the good value. 
Do you have any suggestions? What does this value mean, after all?
