I. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing an ASUS DVD-ROM Drive. The DVD-ROM Drive
complements your system with audio and video capabilities for that complete all-in­one versatile personal PC or home theater.

DVD-ROM, short for Digital Versatile Disc Read-Only Memory or Digital Video
Disc Read-Only Memory, is a type of read-only compact disk which supports a
minimum of 4.7GB. That’s enough memory to provide you with hours of film and
music enjoyment right at the comfort of your home.

The ASUS DVD-ROM Drive is backward-compatible and, aside from DVDs, allows
you to play CDs, CD-I disks, CD-R disks, and VCDs. So there’s no need to throw
away that favorite old CD, and still take advantage of the new and more sophisticated
DVD titles.

The ASUS DVD-ROM Drive uses your computer’s IDE connector thereby
eliminating the cumbersome use of an interface card.

This User’s Manual explains how to install the ASUS DVD-ROM Drive and the
software to get it started. Basic trouble-shooting procedures are included to help you
detect and solve problems that your drive may encounter.

V. TROUBLESHOOTING

General Problems

PROBLEM Unable to access DVD-ROM Drive.

CAUSES 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 . For example, if the last drive on your system is
drive D, try setting the parameter in the CONFIG.SYS file to
LASTDRIVE=E. (DOS only.)

• Y our DVD-ROM Drive requires the drivers, MSCDEX.EXE

and ASUSCD.SYS, to access the drive. Check
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file for the statement
C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:ASUCD01 and CONFIG.SYS
file for the statement DEVICE=C:\ASUS_CD\
ASUSCD.SYS /D:ASUSCD01 (see Software Installation
for more information). (DOS only.)

2. Change the IRQ setting of the device that is using IRQ 14 or IRQ
15, for example, sound card or motherboard. Refer to the card or
motherboard documentation for more information. (DOS only .)

PROBLEM Cannot detect the DVD-ROM Drive (Windows 9x or Windows NT).

CAUSE There are times when Windows cannot detect a new hardware.
SOLUTION Install the drivers manually.

• Start the Add New Hardware wizard by double-clicking My

Computer | Control Panel | Add New Hardware and then

follow the instructions on your screen.

NOTE: Let Windows detect your DVD-ROM Drive. Make sure you have
installed and connected your DVD-ROM Drive in your computer before
running the wizard.

V. Troubleshooting

ASUS High-Speed DVD-ROM Drive 13

V. TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM No sound from speakers.

CAUSES 1. Audio cable or speakers are not connected properly.

2. The volume is not adjusted to an audible level.

3. The drive may be faulty.

4. The card may be faulty.

SOLUTIONS 1. Check that the CD audio cable is connected to the Analog Audio

line out connector on the drive and sound card. Check also that
the pin definitions of your DVD-ROM Drive and sound card are
the same. If not, check with your dealer for a compatible audio
cable or ask a qualified technician to adjust the cables to match
your DVD-ROM Drive’s pin definitions. Also, check that the
speakers are connected to the correct jack on the sound card.

2. Make sure the volume is turned up to an audible range.

3. Connect earphones or headphones to the Headphone Jack. If
there is no sound from your earphones or headphones, consult
your dealer about your faulty drive.

PROBLEM Cannot achieve the maximum data transfer rate performance

CAUSES 1. If you are using a benchmarking utility, it may be old.

V. Troubleshooting

4. Connect earphones or headphones to the sound card’s Headphone
Jack. If there is no sound from your earphones or headphones, check
to see the 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.

specified for the DVD-ROM Drive.

2. The disc is not full.

3. 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.

4. The disc you are playing may not be in a CD-ROM or DVD­ROM format.

14 ASUS High-Speed DVD-ROM Drive

V. TROUBLESHOOTING

SOLUTIONS 1. Upgrade your benchmarking utility to one that supports tests

on the outer tracks of your drive. Your DVD-ROM Drive uses
Constant Angular Velocity (CAV) technology, wherein the
spindle motor is running at the same velocity , while the drive is
accessing data at the inner or outer tracks. In this way , the drive
will achieve lower data transfer rates at the inner tracks and
higher transfer rates at the outer tracks. Thus using some or
older benchmarking utilities, such as WinBench 96, will give
lower data transfer rates because these utilities use the drive’s
inner tracks for its performance tests.

2. A disc will occupy only the inner tracks when it is not full.
Thus, because of the way your DVD-ROM Drive accesses data
(see preceding explanation on CAV technology), the drive will
achieve lower data transfer rates. Use a full disc if possible to
get the maximum transfer rate from your drive.

3. Change the transfer mode of your DVD-ROM Drive to Multi­word or Ultra DMA Mode to maximize its capability.

• For DOS, see Custom Setup under SOFTWARE

INSTALLATION for more information.

• For Windows 95 or Windows NT, Bus Master driver must

be installed. Unless your computer dealer installed the driver
when you bought it or your motherboard supports Bus Master
mode, Windows will not use bus mastering for your CD­ROM Drive.

• Click My Computer | Control Panel | System | Device

Manager | CD-ROM controllers. If you are using the bus

master, PCI Bus Master will be displayed. If not and your
motherboard has the new PCI controller chipsets from Intel,
for example, the 430TX or 440BX, but does not have a
CMOS setting for Bus Master mode, you may have to get
the driver from Intel. Check with your dealer for more
information.

V. Troubleshooting

ASUS High-Speed DVD-ROM Drive 15

V. TROUBLESHOOTING

4. Y our DVD-ROM drive reads data at different speeds depending
on the disc format. Your DVD-ROM drive performs at its best
when it is reading a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM format disc. W ith
other formats, such as Audio CD or Video CD, data transfer
rate performance may be slower than the maximum rate
performance specified.

PROBLEM Cannot display the directory on an audio CD disc with the DIR

command.

CAUSE The DIR command does not work with audio CD discs while in

DOS. You can use the command, however, to display the directory
on a data CD.

NOTE: You can use the DIR command to display the directory on an audio
disc while in Windows using the command prompt or MS-DOS Prompt.
Refer to your Windows manual on how to find the command prompt.

DVD-ROM Specific Problems

PROBLEM Cannot play any DVD movie.

CAUSE You may not have an MPEG-2 card and/or decoder software

SOLUTIONS

V. Troubleshooting

PROBLEM When playing a DVD movie, I get an error message about an

installed on your computer system.

1.Install an MPEG-2 card. To install an MPEG-2 card, you need

at least a 166MHz Pentium, AGP motherboard, 32MB system
memory, and Windows 95 OSR2.

2.Install a software-only DVD decoder. T o install a software-only
