I. INTRODUCTION I. INTRODUCTION Overview Thank you for purchasing the High-Speed CD-ROM Drive. The CD-ROM Drive adds multimedia capabilities, such as sound and video, into your system. With it, you can take advantage of the thousands of CD titles available today for your entertainment, education, and productivity. One of the features of the CD-ROM Drive is that it is connected by means of the IDE connector of your computer. This connector is usually used to install the hard disk to your computer.

Front Panel Controls ➀ ➁ ➂ ➃ ➄ IV. OPERATION Front Panel ➀ Headphones Jack allows you to connect a pair of earphones or headphones to the drive for private listening.
IV. CD-ROM DRIVE OPERATION Inserting a CD Disc in the Drive 1. Select the disc you want to use and remove it from its storage case. 2. Eject the disc tray by pressing the Open/Close/Pause/Stop button on your CDROM Drive. 3. Handling the CD disc by its outer edges, place it in the tray.

V. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSES Unable to access CD-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.
V. TROUBLESHOOTING 4. Connect earphones or headphones to the sound card’s Headphones Jack. If there is no sound from your earphones or headphones, check to see the CD audio cable is connected from the drive to the sound card (refer to your sound card manual for more information). If the audio cable is connected and there is still no sound from your earphones or headphones, consult your dealer about your faulty card. PROBLEM Cannot detect the CD-ROM Drive (Windows 95 or Windows NT).
V. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Data transfer rate performance seems slower than expected. Given the signal quality issues with PIO Mode 4 transfer rates in some systems and such variables as error correction, caching, processor overhead, and rotational speed, higher transfer rates may not be achievable with the default transfer mode. Thus transfer rates may be lower. Change the transfer mode of your CD-ROM Drive to Multi-word or Ultra DMA Mode to maximize its capability.
