Rear Panel/Setting

Rear Panel Features

D: Digital; G: Ground; R: Right audio channel; L: Left audio channel

NOTE: The pin settings or definitions of the connectors and jumpers are also engraved on

the Rear Panel of your CD-ROM Drive.

➀

Power Supply connector connects to the computer’s power supply.

➁

IDE Interface connector connects to a 40-pin IDE interface cable. Make sure that the red

stripe on the cable is oriented with Pin 1 of the CD-ROM Drive’s IDE Interface connector.

➂

Device configuration jumper allows you to set your CD-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 CD-ROM Drive to your sound card, if

available, when connected using a CD audio cable. “G” is for Ground.

NOTES: (1) If the pin definitions on your sound card are not the same as that on your CD-

ROM Drive, check with your dealer for a compatible cable; (2) If you do not have a sound

card, plug earphones, headphones, or powered/self-amplified speakers to the headphones

Jack on your CD-ROM’s front panel (see Front Panel Controls). Set the volume controls of

your drive and powered/self-amplified speakers to minimum before starting or restarting your

computer. This is to prevent possible damage to the earphones, headphones, or speakers.

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.

Installing Your CD-ROM Drive

Before installing your CD-ROM Drive into your computer (see Quick Installation Guide

for instructions on installing your CD-ROM Drive), set your drive as either the Master or

Slave (default) drive by placing the jumper cap on the desired jumper ¬.

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 CD-ROM Drive. If you only have one hard disk, set your CD-ROM Drive as Slave. If

your computer has two IDE connectors and two hard disks installed, either set your CD-

ROM Drive as Master on the secondary IDE connector or remove the Slave hard disk and

replace it with your CD-ROM Drive. Refer to your computer’s manual for your system’s

configuration and instructions on hardware installation.
