My computer will not recognize the drive

Wait 5 more seconds, then reconnect the drive to your computer system.

When I try to burn CDs, I get a “Sense Key” error or other burning failures

This is usually caused by burning at faster speed than the media allows. Make sure the media

you are writing to is compatible with the speed you are trying to burn. Here are some sugges-

tions to successful burning: try lowering the burn speed down and if you are burning to CD-R

media; choose “Write CD” option instead of the “Write Session” option; Increase the Disk

buffer size in the CD Burning application.

My DVD burns keep failing. Why?

There are many brands of DVD media, not all of which are compatible with all DVD mecha-

nisms. Please try a different brand of media, and check with www

.MicroNet.com for the latest

compatibility information.

Can I use my USB CDRW/DVD-RW through a USB hub?

Yes, As long as the hub is a powered hub since bus powered hubs do not work with mass stor-

age devices. For best results, MicroNet recommends running directly off of the USB port on the

computer

The computer will not boot from a FireWire or USB CD

Booting from Firewire is currently supported on all Firewire enabled Macintosh computer

except towers with PCI graphics, as well as some PCs with supported BIOS. You cannot

presently boot your Macintosh from a USB peripheral, although this may be supported

by future MacOS releases. Please check our website at www

.MicroNet.com for the latest

updates.

My Drive is not recognized by my burning software (MacOS9)

Please go into your Extensions Manager and at the top change your Selected Set to "Mac OS 9.x

All". Create a “Duplicate Set" of these extensions, then scroll down to the “FireWire Authoring

Support” extension and uncheck it (if enabled.) Next, Reinstall your burning software and

reboot. Once you are back up to your desktop, open Toast and your drive should now be recog-

nized.

I can’t burn CDs from iTunes (MacOS9)

Some burning programs disable Apple’s extensions when installed. If you enable Apple’s USB

Authoring Support and Firewire Authoring Support, iTunes will be able to see the recorder.

Note that iTunes may not be compatible with your drive- Please check www.apple.com/iTunes

for more information.

The following steps must be performed to properly install your drive:

1. Set Drive Jumper Settings

The mode select jumpers are 6 straight angle pins located on the

rear of the DVD-R/-RW Combo drive.. By placing a jumper on

the pins, you can select the ATA device operating Mode:

Important Note: Disconnect power from your computer system before beginning installation.

2. Mount Drive

Remove computer cover and faceplate if required. Refer to your computer system’s manual for

removal information. If the DVD-R/-RW Combo drive is replacing a CD-ROM, remove CD-

ROM presently installed in your system. Place the DVD-RW Combo drive in any free half-

height drive slot at the front of your computer. (It can be mounted horizontally or vertically.)

Carefully start sliding the DVD-R/-RW Combo drive into the opening with the disc tray facing

the front of the computer. Before you push the drive all the way in you will need to connect the

IDE BUS cable, Audio cable and the Power cable on the back of the drive.

3. Attach IDE BUS Cable

Your computer system should have a primary and secondary IDE

BUS, cable with your Hard Drive most likely being the Master

on the primary BUS. Connect BUS cable as follows, assuring

that pin 1 of cable (side with red stripe) is connected to pin 1

(closest to the power connector) of the DVD-R/-RW Combo

drive's interface connector. Please remember that each BUS can

only have one master and one slave devices.

4. Attach Power Cable

Connect an internal computer power supply cable to the power

socket at the back of the DVD-R/-RW Combo drive. One side of

the plug has chamfered edges, so the power connector fits only

one way. Push plug completely into the socket making sure the

plug fits correctly

5. Attach audio cable

If you have a sound card and speakers, and would like to play

audio CDs on your computer, you will need to install a CD/DVD

audio cable. The sound cable connects to your sound card at one

end and the other end connects to the digital audio connector at

the left rear of the DVD-R/-RW Combo drive. Refer to the

instructions that came with your sound card for details on any

sound-driver software required

6. Completing the installation

After you have connected all the necessary cables, push the DVD-R/-RW Combo drive com-

pletely into the computer’s drive slot. Mount drive per your computer’s instructions. The screw

length should not exceed 3±0.5mm (measured from outside surface of side or bottom of drive

to tip of screw). Replace computer cover and all outer screws.
