Computer
Software
Occasionally the CD-R and CD-RW discs written by the 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 on which they were written.
* 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 CD-RW/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. For further details, refer to the documentation that comes with MPEG software.
Install the supplied CD Recording Software before using this unit.
System Environment
This unit can be operated in the system environment explained here.
350MHz (or faster) Pentium (for high speed, 500MHz or faster recommended)

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. 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 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.
This drive has a feature that allows the CD to be ejected manually if this becomes necessary in an emergency, 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.

Caution!
The disc rotates at high speed in the drive unit. Use of worn, damaged, or non-standard CD-ROM discs can only adversely affect the drive and cause the disc to shatter or crush while in use. Disc crush can only occur when you use a damaged CD-ROM disc in the drive. It is an extremely rare occurrence, but there are steps which can be taken to prevent it.
Always check your discs before inserting them into the drive.
1. Take care not to use worn, cracked, damaged, warped or poor quality CD-ROMs, as this may cause damage to your drive.
2. Check the clear plastic on the center of the disc, cracks here are the main cause of disc crush.
3. Do not play CD-ROMs which are a non-standard (I.e. non-circular)shape, such as heart shaped discs, or discs in the shape of a business card.
How can you keep your discs from becoming damaged?
1. When not in use, remove discs from the drive.
2. Keep discs in the packaging supplied with them and out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.
Excessive vibration or a sudden jolt to the drive during operation may cause a malfunction. Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature as it may cause condensation to collect inside the drive.
