2. Squeeze the two buttons on the smaller connector and attach that end of the USB cable to the USB connector on the back of the CD-ROM drive, as shown below.

Make sure that the metal plate on the smaller connector is facing up when you plug it into the USB connector on the CD-ROM drive.

Using the CD-ROM drive audio player functions

There are two ways to use the CD-ROM drive to play audio CDs. You can use the Microsoft Windows CD Player, with which you can control the CD playback on your computer screen. You can also use the two audio control buttons on the front of the CD-ROM drive. Note: You must close the Microsoft Windows CD Player in order to use the control buttons on the front of the CD-ROM drive. The buttons will not work while the Microsoft Windows CD Player is running.

Although there are only two control buttons on the front of the CD-ROM drive, you can use those two buttons to perform all the major functions of a normal CD player. Refer to the following table to determine what sequence of actions you need to take in order to perform each function.

The device driver is now uninstalled. Your computer will not recognize the CD-ROM drive when it is connected to the computer unless you reinstall the device driver.

Disconnecting and reconnecting the CD-ROM drive

Hot plugging is supported on the connection between the USB cable and your computer. This means that the CD-ROM drive USB cable can be disconnected from and reconnected to your computer whether the computer is on or off.

Attention

The connection between the USB cable and the CD-ROM drive itself does not support hot plugging. If you disconnect the USB cable from the CD-ROM drive while the USB cable is attached to your computer, it might cause damage to the CD-ROM drive.

To avoid damaging the CD-ROM drive, turn off the CD-ROM drive before disconnecting the USB cable from your computer. To disconnect the CD-ROM drive from the computer, unplug the USB cable from the computer. To reconnect the CD-ROM drive, reconnect the USB cable to the computer.

Attention

Do not disconnect and reconnect the USB cable in rapid succession or the CD-ROM drive might not load properly. After disconnecting the USB cable, wait at least 10 to 20 seconds, or until the hourglass icon stops displaying, before reconnecting the USB cable.
