WARNING: Only drives bearing the logo Compact Disc ReWritable Ultra Speed
can write or erase Ultra Speed CD-RW media.

Ultra Speed CD-RW Media may be recognized by the same Compact Disc
ReWritable.
Ultra Speed logo on the disc label or packaging material.

Attempting to write to Ultra Speed CD-RW media using CD-RW drives NOT
bearing the logo Compact Disc ReWritable Ultra Speed may result in data loss.

DVD+R Double Layer media may have compatibility problem with other drives.

System meeting the following requirements is needed in order to use USB

2.0 operation with this drive.

• Computer that is equipped with a USB 2.0 – compliant USB connector or
PCI adapter card, and on which the USB 2.0 EHCI (Enhanced Host
Controller Interface) driver software

1)

has been installed.

1)

The USB 2.0 EHCI driver software is supplied with currently available PCI

adapter cards that conform to USB 2.0. Further, Microsoft has released the USB

2.0 EHCI driver software for Windows XP, therefore it is also possible to use this
driver software with Windows XP.
If you want to know in detail, please contact your USB 2.0 adapter dealer or consult
your PC manufacturer, or consult the Microsoft Corporation Web site.

• To achieve maximum Record & Write speed your system may require
data to be copied first to the computer’s hard drive rather than directly
from another source disc or drive.

Important precautions

Follow these precautions when handling the drive or discs.

Precautions

Please note that the manufacturer of this equipment does not offer any warranty
against data loss due to inappropriate installation, handling, direct or indirect
damages. Please note that the manufacturer will bear no responsibility for direct
or indirect damages (including lost data)caused by the use of this product or its
malfunction.

Please backup(copy) all important data as protection against data loss.

Installation

Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:

- high humidity - high temperature - excessive dust

- mechanical vibration - direct sunlight

Operation

Don’t move the drive suddenly from a cold place to warm one.
Condensation may cause abnormal operation.
Make sure to remove the disc before moving the drive to prevent the possible
damage to the disc.
Prevent foreign objects, such as liquids or metal, from entering the drive and in
the 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.
While drive is operating, don’t move the drive or give a shock to the drive, since it
can cause damages to the disc.

AC Adapter

Don’t plug in or remove the AC adapter using wet hands.
Don’t damage the AC adapter by scratching, modifying, or bending its prongs.
Use only supplied AC adapter.
Don’t disassemble the AC adapter.

Operation through a USB hub cannot be guaranteed.

When connecting with USB1.1 interface, picture and sound may be disrupted
while watching DVD Video due to lack of data transfer speed.
For smoother playback of DVDs, high-speed USB 2.0 should be used.

Location and function of controls

This dr iv e should be used only in its current hardware and softw are
configur ation.

Installation

Hardware Installation

• Make sure you have a personal
computer with an open USB port or
IEEE 1394 port before connecting the
drive to your computer.

• You cannot use the FireWire
[IEEE 1394] and USB interfaces
simultaneously.

• Power for all device should be turn off
before attaching the cables.

Connect the drive to the computer as
shown in figure.

1. Connect the USB conver ter cable [or

IEEE 1394 cable] to the External
Super Multi DVD Rewriter.

2. Connect the other end of the USB

converter cable [or IEEE 1394 cable]
to your computer.

3. Connect the AC adapter plug to the

power connector at the rear of the
drive.
Attach the AC adapter to the AC wall
outlet.

4.When the computer is ready, confirm

that the drive is detected. And then,
insert the supplied software CD into
the External Super Multi DVD Rewriter
and install the software.

• Please do not turn off the dr ive while the computer is searching for the drive.
If you turn off the drive, normal operation of the computer will not be possible.

• Please do not connect the AC adapter and USB 2.0 converter cable by any means
other than specified above.

Operation

Loading and ejecting a disc

Remember - AC adapter must be connected.
Make sure the power is turned on.

Loading a disc

1. Push the Eject Button to open the Disc tray.

2. Load a disc.(Label facing up.)

3. Close the Disc tray.

Ejecting a disc

1. Push the Eject Button to open the Disc tray.

2. Removing the disc.

3. Close the Disc tray after removing the disc.

Emergency Eject

This drive has a feature that allows the CD to be ejected manually in case of
a drive failure or a power outage.

NOTE: Don’t use this feature except in an emergency.

1) Turn the power 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.

* 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.

NOTE: Use this feature for an
ermergency purpose only.
Using it excessively will cause
malfunction.

16

Playing a music CD

Listening to sound

When connected to a computer, you can play audio CD’s through your
computer’s audio system after setting Digital Audio mode.

Check your Windows or “Windows Media Player” manual for detail.

Playing DVD video and MPEG2 movie video

The drive must be connected to a computer, and basic installation already
done. Install the ‘PowerDVD’ software to your PC.
Inserting the disc will automatically star t installation. Follow the wizard.
After installation, remove the PowerDVD software and put it away for
safekeeping.
Inserting a DVD Video disc into the drive and it will play automatically.

• DVD video region code:

Each region around the world has a different region number on the DVD
video movies being sold in a region.
The region code can be changed to other regions up to 5 times by using
the software decoder (PowerDVD).
If you change the region code 5 times, the drive will lock onto the last (5th
change) region code, and cannot change the drive to another region code.
This limitation is a requirement as licensees of DVD drive technology.

• When connecting with USB1.1 interface, due to it’s slow transfer time,
picture and sound may be disrupted when trying to view a DVD
movie.

NOTES
