NOTE: The pin settings or definitions of the connectors and jumpers are also en-
graved on the Rear Panel of your DVD-ROM Drive.
➀ Power Supply connector connects to the computer’s power supply.
➁ IDE Interface connector connects to the 40-pin interface cable.
➂ Device configuration jumper allows you to set your DVD-ROM Drive as the
Master or Slave drive. The default setting is Slave, wherein the jumper is on
“SLAVE”. “CABLE SELECT” is reserved and should not be used.
➃ Analog Audio line out connector has two channels, right (“R”) and left (“L”)
audio outputs, and allows you to direct audio output from your DVD-ROM Drive
to your sound card when connected using a CD audio cable. “G” is for Ground.
➄ Digital Audio output connector offers high quality audio effect by outputting
digital signal to a D/A converter or for recording to a digital audio tape (DAT) or
professional audio recording system. The connector follows the EBU-IEC958
standard set by the European Broadcast Union.
➅ Testing jumpers are reserved for manufacturer’s internal testing/diagnostic purposes.
Setting Your DVD-ROM Drive
Set your drive as either the Master or Slave (default) drive by placing the jumper cap
on the desired jumper ➂.
Slave Drive (Default) Master Drive
NOTE: If your computer only allows you to connect a maximum of two devices and you
have two hard disks, remove the Slave hard disk — you need the other IDE connector for
your DVD-ROM Drive. If you only have one hard disk, set your DVD-ROM Drive as
Slave. If your computer has two IDE connectors and two hard disks installed, either set
your DVD-ROM Drive as Master on the secondary IDE connector or remove the Slave
hard disk and replace it with your DVD-ROM Drive. Refer to your computer’s manual for
your system’s configuration and instructions on hardware installation.
