*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.

Installing the Drive

Before installing the drive, turn off the system power. Follow the steps below to install the DVD-ROM drive:

B

1.Remove the cover from your computer system. Refer to manual for the computer for details about removing the cover.

2.Adjust the Master/Slave jumpers on the back of the DVD-ROM drive as necessary. C

Connect the DVD-ROM drive to the IDE ports of your motherboard. In general, the hard drive will connected to the Primary IDE port and its jumper set to Master for booting the operating system. There are two possible alternate connections for DVD-ROM drive installation.

A) When using a Primary IDE port

If you need to connect your DVD-ROM drive to the same Primary IDE port, the DVD-ROM drive should be set to Slave position.

B) When using a Secondary IDE port

You can also connect DVD-ROM drive to the Secondary IDE port and set its jumper to Master.

3.Insert the DVD-ROM drive unit into a free 5.25-inch drive bay. Secure the DVD-ROM drive to the drive bay rails with the mounting screws (supplied).

4.Connect the 4-pin power cable and 40-pin IDE interface cable to the back of the DVD-ROM drive.

Notes: If there is no spare power cable available in the computer, you will have to purchase a splitter cable of a suitable type.

The red edge of the IDE cable corresponds to pin 1 of the IDE interface on the DVD-ROM drive.

Please Note: an IDE cable is not supplied and may be required to be purchased separately.

If the computer is using a sound card, the drive is connected to the sound card with an audio cable. This DVD-ROM drive is supplied with a Creative Labs SoundBlaster© compatible audio lead, if this is not suitable for your sound card, it maybe necessary for you to purchase a suitable lead from your retailer.

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

Read Speed Control for CD-R Data CD

The basic default reading speed for CD-R disc media in this drive is 40X. The Read Speed Control will allow you to select the maximum read speed (48X) for CD-R media, simply by pressing the eject button. Note that this function is only available with a CD-R data disc.

To enable 48X CD-R read speed, follow the chart below:

(Put CD-R disc on Tray)

CAUTION:

The quality of CD-R data disc varies significantly from brand to brand (or brandless), as well as disc condition used over time. A disc that is poorly balanced or that may have cracks in it greatly increases the chance of disc failure or disc shatter when being read back at speeds higher than 40X, possibly causing damage to the drive. Closely inspect discs you plan to use in the drive for any abnormalities or cracks.

If you hear strange noise or sounds from the drive during operation, this could be a sign of an unbalanced or damaged disc and it should be removed immediately. LG Electronics does not warranty drive damage caused by faulty or shattered discs.

Emergency Eject D

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

*When the DVD-ROM drive does not work with the hard disk drive in primary IDE channel.

(SOLUTION)

1.Check the DVD-ROM drive Master/Slave Jumper setting.

The DVD-ROM drive should be set to the Slave mode if it is on the same IDE cable as your Hard Drive that is set to the Primary Master mode.

2.Check to be sure your hard disk Interface type is IDE type.

3.Check your hard disk Master/Slave Jumper setting. Some old-version IDE type hard disks were set to Master Only mode.

In that case, contact your hard disk company and change your hard disk jumper setting to master mode.

4.If the DVD-ROM drive does not work with above methods, you may need a secondary IDE card.

If you use the secondary IDE card, you should set the DVD-ROM drive jumper to the master mode if the DVD-ROM drive is the first device you are connecting to the secondary IDE card.

*When the DVD-ROM drive does not install in OS/2 warp.

(SOLUTION)

1.Select NON-LISTED IDE CD.

*DVD-ROM drive is not present in Windows 3.1 or 3.11 or DOSSHELL.

(SOLUTION)

1.When the WIN or DOSSHELL command lines are present in your AUTOEXEC.BAT, make sure that the MSCDEX.EXE command line appears before the WIN or the DOSSHELL command lines.

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.

Important Precautions

Follow these precautions when handling the drive or discs.

Precautions

•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.

Installation

•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 install the drive at an angle.

Operation

•Don’t 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 be 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.

•Don’t 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.
