CD-WRITER IDE5232 INTRODUCTION CD-WRITER IDE5232 is a half-height CD-ReWritable drive of standard IDE interface. It supports maximum 52x speed writing ability on CD-R discs, 32x speed on CD-RW discs and 52x speed reading performance. The drive backs up all writing modes and different CD formats and it automatically recognizes the media placed in the drive, whether a CD, a CD-R or a CD-RW.
CD-WRITER IDE5232 ♦ PC sufficient to run Windows 98/ME/2000/XP ♦ Pentium II 350MHz above with at least 64MB of memory ♦ Fast and sufficient hard disk space (minimum 200MB for installation, 1GB or more is recommended.
CD-WRITER IDE5232 INSTALLATION Host Interface Connections Most current mainboard models have two IDE ports (primary and secondary) which can connect two IDE cables. Two IDE cables allow you to connect up to four devices, but it is recommended that you separate IDE ports for your hard drive and your CD-ReWritable drive. This will ensure that your hard drive’s performance and speed won’t be affected by having the CD-RW drive on the same cable.
CD-WRITER IDE5232 You may consider one of the two ways recommended below to connect your drive. ♦ To get the most stable performance for the CD-RW drive to write: Primary IDE Master: Hard Disk Primary IDE Slave: CD-ROM Drive Secondary IDE Master: CD-RW drive ♦ For best hard disk performance: Primary IDE Master: Hard Disk Secondary IDE Master: CD-ROM drive Secondary IDE Salve: CD-RW drive Hardware Installation 1. Turn off the power to the computer system and all peripheral devices. 2.
CD-WRITER IDE5232 The red-edge of the IDE Cable must be connected to Pin 1 on the CDReWritable drive. 5. If you have a sound card that can be connected to this CDReWritable drive, you can connect the drive (as Audio-out) and the sound card (as Audio-in) with a 4-pin audio cable. (See figure above.) If your mainboad is integrated with built-in sound system, plug the 4pin audio cable into the CD-IN connector on the mainboard as Audio-in. 6.
CD-WRITER IDE5232 Driver Installation Windows Environment CD-WRITER IDE5232 is a PnP device, and Windows 98/ME/2000/XP can automatically detect the drive and load the appropriate driver. If Windows cannot detect the drive, you can operate manually: 1. Click the Control Panel Icon in My Computer and then click Add New Hardware. The Add New Hardware window appears. 2. The program will automatically search for your new drive and load the appropriate driver.

CD-WRITER IDE5232 TROUBLESHOOTING To help you get more familiar with CD-WRITER IDE5232, the following FAQ lists some common problems you might encounter. Please read it for reference before you request RMA support from your dealer. Q1. CD-WRITER IDE5232 cannot be recognized. (1) The drive might not be connected properly. Please check whether the IDE cable and power connector are tightly connected. (2) Check if there is jumper conflict.
CD-WRITER IDE5232 (1) Please check if the audio cable is connected to the audio connector properly. (2) Check both rear side of the CD-RW drive and sound card on M/B (If Audio chipset is on board). If they are well connected, check if the sound card is working. Q7. The tray cannot be ejected. There are two possible reasons: (1) Need to be ejected by the application. Some of the burning or playing application will lock the drive.
CD-WRITER IDE5232 (4) Increase main memory capacity. (5) Select other burning software. (6) De-fragment the hard disk. (7) Keep the source & destination discs clean. (no scratches, fingerprints or contamination.) (8) Copy data as image file to hard drive to avoid buffer underrun. (9) Keep the system clean. Do not install redundant driver or application to reduce system loading as well as confliction. (10) Enable Buffer Underrun Protection mode if your software supports it. Q10.
