Important Precautions  
Follow these precautions when handling the drive or discs.  
Please take notice that the manufacturer of this equipment does not offer any warranty against data loss due  
to inappropriate installation or handling, or direct or indirect damages.  
Please take notice that the manufacturer will bear no responsibility  
for direct or indirect damages caused by the use of this product or its malfunction.  
Please take notice that the manufacturer will bear no responsibility for damage to data caused by this product.  
Please backup (copy) all important data as a protection against data loss.  
Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:  
- high humidity, high temperature, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, direct sunlight  
We recommend using the drive in a horizontal or vertical position.  
Do not use it in tilted position.  
Dont move the drive suddenly from a cold place to a warm one or raise the room temperature suddenly.  
Condensation may occur, causing abnormal operation.  
Make sure to remove the disc before moving the drive. The disc may become damaged, causing data loss.  
Be careful to prevent foreign objects, such as liquids or metal, from entering the drive. In case a foreign  
object enters the drive, please consult the dealer where the drive was purchased.  
Dont interrupt the electric power while the drive is operating.  
When connecting two IDE devices to the Primary or Secondary connectors, make sure that the two devices  
are not configured as both Master, or both Slave. If they are both set the same, Windows may fail to run or  
recognize the drives.  
The total length of the IDE cable should be no more than 18 inches (about 45 cm).

Occasionally CD-R and CD-RW discs written by a CD-R/RW drive cannot be read by other CD drives*.  
These unreadable discs may need to be read using the CD-R/RW drive they were created with  
The disc written using the CD-R/RW drive might not be readable by CD-ROMs other than Multi-read  
compatible (UDF compatible) CD-ROMs  
*
Multiread compatible (UDF compatible) CD-ROMs are:  
1. CD-ROMs that can read low reflectance.  
2. CD-ROMs that support Packet Write.  
Please note: Certain software (i.e. particularly those including Video playback) may require a  
considerably increased specification PC to give acceptable results. While this Super Multi DVD  
Drive can read DVD-video discs, decoding them to display on your pcs monitor requires separate  
MPEG decoding that is done by separate hardware (either an MPEG decoder card or MPEG  
decoding done by your video card), or separate software that you install to do MPEG decoding.  
For further details, refer to the documentation that comes with MPEG software.  
Software  
Install the supplied CD/DVD Recording, Authoring & DVD-RAM Driver Software before using this unit.  
* Please uninstall any previous CD burning software you may have loaded on your PC in order to pre-  
vent possible compatibility issues. Once you have installed the supplied software, you may (if you wish)  
begin to reinstall previous software, taking note for errors.

Device Drivers  
When using Windows 98/2000 Professional/Me/XP Home Edition/XP Professional, no special  
device driver is required. Your system, upon Power On and bootup after installing and connecting  
the new Super Multi DVD Drive, will recognize and load native software drivers automatically.  
Please consult the following internet sites:  
For Windows 98/2000/ME/XP Users  
I
In order to ensure normal drive operation, please check the following:  
The drive is displayed in  
Windows 98/ME : [Control Panel]-[System]-[Device Manager]-[CD-ROM]  
Windows 2000/XP : [Control Panel]-[System]-[Hardware]-[Device Manager]-[DVD/CD-ROM-drives]  
32-bit is displayed in [Control Panel]-[System]-[Performance]  
I
I
If the drive is not recognized by your computer, please check the following items.  
If an  
indicator is displayed on the IDE controller in [Control Panel]-[System]-[Device  
Manager]-[Hard Disk Controller], you will need to contact your PCs manufacturer or the  
motherboards manufacturer and get the appropriate IDE controller driver.  
Run Add New Hardware in Control Panel to let PC search again for new device.

How to Use the Discs  
When using CD-ROM discs, CD-R discs, DVD discs or CD-RW discs, dont attach any stickers  
or labels to the discs. It could cause read and write errors, but data on the disc may be lost due  
to damage to the disc itself.  
The Discs in this unit operate at a very high  
speed! DO NOT use damaged, cracked or  
warped discs. The drives optical unit may be  
damaged if they break.  
DO NOT use non-standard discs. NON-standard discs may not play or store data properly.  
Emergency Eject  
This drive has a feature that allows the CD to be ejected manually if this becomes necessary  
such as failure of the drive or a power outage.  
NOTE: Dont use this feature except in an emergency.  
1) Turn the power to OFF.  
2) Poke a fine-tipped object (such as a straightened heavy duty paper clip) into the small hole  
above the eject button. The front door will pop open and the disk tray will come partway out.  
3) Pull the front door to open it all the way, then grip the disc tray between thumb and forefinger  
and gently pull it straight out.  
NOTE: This feature is a last measure to be  
used only in an emergency.  
Using it excessively will cause malfunction.  
* If you cannot get a good grip on the disc tray with your fingers, use a steel binder clip or  
spring clamp to pull it out.

Troubleshooting  
Before Requesting Service  
Before calling for service, check this list.  
The drive doesnt have power.  
Is the power supply cable from the host computer plugged in?  
Is the Power Connector to the drive securely attached?  
The system doesnt start.  
Are the Primary and Secondary connections and the Master and Slave settings correct?  
Is the total length of the IDE cable 18 inches or less?  
Is each connector completely attached?  
Other connections may have been knocked lose while installing the drive.  
Cannot Read or Write Discs.  
Is the condition of everything else in the system (CPU, hard disc, and others) as it  
should be? (See system environment page 2.)  
Does the CD-R, DVD or CD-RW disc have dirt or scratches?  
Did a screen saver or other application operate while writing to the disc?  
Is there enough free space on the CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and DVD-RAM disc?  
Does writing fail even using the simulation test?  
Is the disc loaded in the drive with the read/write surface facing the right direction?  
7(label up)  
Is the drive installed in the correct orientation?  
Was the drive or disc moved from a low temperature environment to a high temperature  
environment? (There is a possibility of condensation on the lens in the drive or on the  
surface of the disc.)  
When you call for service, be prepared to give as much information as possible of your system,  
environment, and the specific problem. (What happened? When? How long? What was going  
on? Were there any error messages displayed? etc.)  
Please Note: Since this product supports Region Playback Control Phase II, a certain  
MPEG decoder card or Software without regional code setting may cause this drive not to  
read DVD-ROM discs. This Drive enables you to change the regional code up to 5 times.
