Introduction  
Important Precautions  
Follow these precautions when handling the drive or discs.  
Please take notice that the manufacturer of this equipment does not  
offer any warranty against data loss due to inappropriate installation  
or handling, or direct or indirect damages.  
Precautions  
Please take notice that the manufacturer will bear no responsibility  
for direct or indirect damages caused by the use of this product or its  
malfunction.  
Please take notice that the manufacturer will bear no responsibility for  
damage to data caused by this product.  
Please backup (copy) all important data as protection against data  
loss.  
Installation  
Operation  
Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:  
- high humidity  
- high temperature  
- excessive dust  
- mechanical vibration  
- direct sunlight  
We recommend using the drive in a horizontal or vertical position.  
Do not use it in tilted position.  
Dont move the drive suddenly from a cold place to a warm one or  
raise the room temperature suddenly. Condensation may occur,  
causing abnormal operation.  
Make sure to remove the disc before moving the drive. The disc may  
be damaged, causing data loss.  
Be careful to prevent foreign objects, such as liquids or metal, from  
entering the drive. In case a foreign object enters the drive, please  
consult the dealer where the drive was purchased.  
Dont interrupt the electric power while the drive is operating.  
When connecting two IDE devices to the Primary or Secondary  
connectors, make sure that the two devices are not configured as  
both Master, or both Slave. If they are both set the same, Windows  
may fail to run or recognize the drives.  
The total length of the IDE cable should be no more than 18 inches  
(about 45 cm).

Workstation Ver.4.0 or later*  
CD-R : LG, Ricoh, Mitsubishi Chemical, Verbatim,  
Taiyo Yuden, Mitsui Toatsu, TDK, Kodak, or  
SKC discs are recommended.  
CD-R, CD-RW discs  
CD-RW : Ricoh, Mitsubishi chemical, Verbatim,  
Imation, Sony discs are recommended.  
Occasionally the CD-R and CD-RW discs written by the CD-R/RW drive cannot be  
read by other CD drives*. These unreadable discs may need to be read using the  
CD-R/RW drive on which they were written.  
*
The disc written using the CD-R/RW drive might not be readable by CD-ROMs  
other than Multi-read compatible (UDF compatible) CD-ROMs.  
Multiread compatible (UDF compatible) CD-ROMs are:  
1. CD-ROMs that can read low reflectance.  
2. CD-ROMs that support Packet Write.  
Please note: Certain software (i.e. particularly those including Video playback)  
may require a considerably increased specification PC to give acceptable  
results. While this CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive can read DVD-video discs, decoding  
them to display on your pcs monitor requires separate MPEG decoding that is  
done by separate hardware (either an MPEG decoder card or MPEG decoding  
done by your video card), or separate software that you install to do MPEG  
decoding. For further details, refer to the documentation that comes with MPEG  
software.  
Software  
Install the supplied CD Recording Software before using this unit.

Installation  
Installing the Drive  
Before  
Before installing the drive, please note the following points.  
I
You will need the following:  
Installation  
A screw driver of a suitable size to fit the securing screws  
for the drive unit.  
The manual for the computer, so you can find the mounting  
positions for the IDE controller cable.  
I
I
Turn off all peripheral appliances of the computer and the computer  
itself, and disconnect their power cords from the wall sockets.  
Discharge any static electricity on your person by touching the  
computer covers, etc.  
Make sure all peripheral devices of the computer and the computer itself  
are turned off, and then remove the cover. Refer to the manual for the  
computer for details about removing the cover.  
Removing the  
Computer  
Cover  
NOTE : There may be sharp edges inside the computer so take care to  
avoid injury.

Mounting the  
Drive  
1. Remove the 5 /4drive bay panel from the computer. Refer to the  
manual for the computer for details.  
2. Insert the drive unit into the bay. Do not apply excessive pressure to  
the cables inside the computer.  
3. Secure the drive with the screws provided. If there is not enough  
space behind the drive, connect the IDE and other cables before  
securing the drive.

Installation  
Before installation, set the jumper connector on the rear panel.  
The drive can be connected as the Master or Slave on an EIDE (ATAPI)  
interface. When several (up to four) EIDE devices are connected, each  
must be set in a unique way. Specific knowledge of hardware and  
software is necessary to install the drive.  
Jumper Setup  
NOTE : If two peripheral devices with the same settings are both con-  
nected to the Primary or to the Secondary EIDE bus, the host computer  
may fail to run or may malfunction. Careful attention is necessary.

Operation  
How to Use the Discs  
When using CD-ROM discs, CD-R discs, DVD discs or CD-RW discs,  
dont attach any stickers or labels to the discs. Using discs with them  
attached not only causes read and write errors, but data on the disc may  
be lost due to damage to the disc itself.  
The Discs in this unit operate at a very high speed!  
DO NOT use damaged, cracked or warped discs. The drives optical unit  
may be damaged if they break.  
DO NOT use non-standard discs. NON-standard discs may not play or  
store data properly.  
Emergency  
Eject  
This drive has a feature that allows the CD to be ejected manually if this  
becomes necessary in an emergency, such as failure of the drive or a  
power outage.  
NOTE: Dont use this feature except in an emergency.  
1) Turn the power to OFF.  
2) Poke a fine-tipped object (such as a straightened heavy duty paper  
clip) into the small hole above the eject button. The front door will  
pop open and the disk tray will come partway out.  
3) Pull the front door to open it all the way, then grip the disc tray  
between thumb and forefinger and gently pull it straight out.  
NOTE: This feature is a last measure to be used only in an emergency.  
Using it excessively will cause malfunction.  
* If you cannot get a good grip on the disc tray with your fingers, use a  
steel binder clip or spring clamp to pull it out.

Appendix  
Troubleshooting  
Before calling for service, check this list.  
Before  
Requesting  
Service  
The drive doesnt have power.  
Is the power supply cable from the host computer plugged in?  
Is the Power Connector to the drive securely attached?  
The system doesnt start.  
Are the Primary and Secondary connections and the Master and  
Slave settings correct?  
Is the total length of the IDE cable 18 inches or less?  
Is each connector completely attached?  
Movement of the PC may loosen connections.  
Cannot Read or Write Discs.  
Is the condition of everything else in the system (CPU, hard disc, and  
others) as it should be? (See system environment page 4.)  
Does the CD-R, DVD or CD-RW disc have dirt or scratches?  
Did a screen saver or other application operate while writing to the  
disc?  
Is there enough free space on the CD-R/RW disc?  
Does writing fail even using the simulation test?  
Is the disc loaded in the drive with the read/write surface facing the  
right direction? (label up)  
Is the drive installed in the correct orientation?  
Was the drive or disc moved from a low temperature environment to a  
high temperature environment? (There is a possibility of condensa-  
tion on the lens in the drive or on the surface of the disc.)  
When you call for service, be prepared to give as much information as  
possible of your system, environment, and the specific problem. (What  
happened? When? How long? What was going on? Were there any error  
messages displayed? etc.)  
Please Note: Since this product supports Region Playback Control  
Phase II, a certain MPEG decoder card or Software without regional code  
setting may cause this drive not to read DVD-ROM discs. This Drive  
enables you to change the regional code up to 5 times.
