* Please note: Certain software (i.e. particularly
those including Video playback) may require a
considerably increased specification PC to
give acceptable results. While this DVD-ROM
drive can read DVD-video discs, decoding
them to display on your pc’s 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. These items are separate and are not included with this DVD-ROM
drive.

How to Use the Discs
When using CD-ROM discs, DVD-ROM discs,
CD-R discs or CD-RW discs, don’t attach any
stickers or labels to the discs. Using discs with
them attached not only causes 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 drive’s optical unit may be damaged if they
break. DO NOT use non-standard discs.
NON-standard discs may not play or store data
properly. Non-standard discs are any discs that
are not the standard 12 cm CD type discs. This
includes Sony Walkman™ discs, non-circular
discs including promotional, business card
discs, and other unusual discs.
Notes on CD-RW/DVD-RW discs
This product can read CD-RW/DVD-RW disc
data. Note the following:
- A little longer time is needed to sense a
CD-RW/ DVD-RW disc when the operation
starts, compared with standard CD-ROM/
DVD-ROM discs.
- Since playback signal level of CD-RW/
DVD-RW is lower than the replicated CD/DVD
discs, reading speed of those discs is lower
than that of the replicated discs to ensure
data reading.
- Blank discs, discs that you failed to write data,
or discs that session close processing has not
been made, cannot be used.
- Operation may not start, or the data may not
be read under the following conditions:
The quality of the recorded signal has deteriorated due to the dirt or scratches on the disc,
or frequently rewritten discs. If the drive fails
to read the disc, open the disc drawer, check
the data side of the disc (side opposite the
label side) for dust or scratches, and reinsert
the disc and close the drawer to try to read
the disc again
Emergency Eject
This drive has a feature that allows the CD
to be ejected manually if necessary in an
emergency, such as failure of the drive or a
power outage.
NOTE: Don’t 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 doesn’t have power.
• Is the power supply cable from the host
computer plugged in?
• Is the Power Connector to the drive
securely attached?
•
The system doesn’t start.
• Are the power and SATA cables to the
PC correctly connected?
• Is the total length of the SATA cable 20
inches or less?
• Is each connector completely attached?
Other connections may have been
knocked lose while installing the drive.
• Cannot Read discs.
• Does the CD or DVD disc have dirt or
scratches?
• Is the disc loaded in the drive with the
read/write surface facing the right
direction? (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 DVD-ROM Drive enables you to change
the regional code up to 5 times.
