V. TROUBLESHOOTING General Problems PROBLEM CAUSES Unable to access DVD-ROM Drive. 1. The information in your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT or both files might be incorrect. (DOS only.) 2. Some BIOS that include power management features use IRQ14 or IRQ 15, which should be reserved for IDE devices like your CD-ROM Drive. (DOS only.) SOLUTIONS 1. Check the LASTDRIVE= entry in your CONFIG.SYS file. You might have to set the drive letter to one higher than your actual last drive letter.
SOLUTIONS 1. Check that the CD audio cable is connected to the Analog Audio line out connector on the drive and sound card. Check also that the pin definitions of your DVD-ROM Drive and sound card are the same. If not, check with your dealer for a compatible audio cable or ask a qualified technician to adjust the cables to match your DVD-ROM Drive’s pin definitions. Also, check that the speakers are connected to the correct jack on the sound card. 2.
V. TROUBLESHOOTING 2. A disc will occupy only the inner tracks when it is not full. Thus, because of the way your DVD-ROM Drive accesses data (see preceding explanation on CAV technology), the drive will achieve lower data transfer rates. Use a full disc if possible to get the maximum transfer rate from your drive. 3. Change the transfer mode of your DVD-ROM Drive to Multiword or Ultra DMA Mode to maximize its capability. • For DOS, see Custom Setup under SOFTWARE INSTALLATION for more information.
V. TROUBLESHOOTING DVD-ROM Specific Problems PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTIONS Cannot play any DVD movie. You may not have an MPEG-2 card and/or decoder software installed on your computer system. • Install an MPEG-2 card. To install an MPEG-2 card, you need at least a 166MHz Pentium, AGP motherboard, 32MB system memory, and Windows 95 OSR2. • Install a software-only DVD decoder.
