off your computer.
However, when you start running your computer, make sure that PC card is inserted
into the PCMCIA card slot and the player is on. If ASPIF365.SYS and ASPIFDBK.SYS
•are being used, Insertion/Removal with power on is not possible.
With Windows 95 Insertion/Removal is possible at any time.
Note:
• If your computer has more than one slot, and if you want to re-insert the PC card,
make sure to insert it into the same slot it was inserted before.
Playing a CD-ROM
• To listen to the computer sound of CD-ROM, it needs for the desktop computer user to
install Sound Blaster [Creative Technology Ltd.], etc., and it is recommended to install
the optional KXL-D20 for the notebook computer user.
• To play VIDEO CD or CD-I, commercial MPEG Boards [REAL Magic LITE (SIGMA
DESIGNS Ltd.) is recommended] is required on the computer side.
Notes:
• Some CD-ROMs are soundless.
• The computer sound of some CD-ROMs can be listened only through the PHONES
jack of the player. Connect your headphones to the PHONES jack of the player or,
if your sound system device has a Line-in jack, connect an audio connecting cable
(not supplied) to the Line-in jack of the sound system device and to the PHONES
jack of the player.
_______________
Playing an audio CD
To operate audio CD on computer, install audio CD control software (not supplied) (for
DOS users) or use the Media Player in Accessories (for Windows 3.1, 3.11 users). If
Windows 3.1,3.11 is used, be sure to add “[MCI] CD Audio" at Drivers in Control Panel.
You can listen to the audio CD through either of the following methods.
• Connect your headphones or amplified speaker to the PHONES jack of the player.
• Connect one end of an audio connecting cable (not supplied) to the Line-in jack of your
sound system device and the other end to the PHONES jack of the player.
Note: m **i I**
• While playing an audio CD with your computer, buttons ^ * O ’ O

the base address at XXX using a hexadecimal number. The PC card
occupies 16 bytes of space starting the specified base address. If
you don’t specify the I/O base address, 240h is applied. If the

[ Options for Microsoft MS-DOS CD-ROM Extensions
The format of the MSCDEX program in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is as follows:
MSCDEX [/V /K /E] /D:[DriverName] /L:[DriveLetter] /M:[Value]
N Displays the list of additional information including how much memory is used
by buffers, resident data and resident code.
/K Type this only when the CD-ROM media directory is written in Kanji (Japanese).
/E Expanded memory (EMS) is usable if this is available in your system. This
conserves about 16 KB of main DOS memory.
32
Page 33
Detaiis of Setup Disk Software
/D:[DriverName]
Driver name is a required parameter to communicate with the CD-ROM drive. The
internal name of KMECD.SYS is PCMCIACD, and should be substituted for
[DriverName].
/L;[DriveLetter]
Drive letter is an alphabetic character assigned to a CD-ROM drive. If there is more
than one CD-ROM drive, the alphabetic characters are sequentially assigned
starting with the entered drive letter. If no drive letter is entered, next available
alphabetic character is assigned.
If you assign except A~M for Driveletter, you must change the DOS LASTDRIVE
statement. In your CONFIG.SYS file, add a line like this:
LASTDRIVE=
Type the alphabetic character (N~Z) assigned to the
last valid drive that DOS may use.
/M:[Vatue]
MSCDEX allocates the memory as sectorbuffers for caching CD-ROM information.
If no buffer size is entered, 10 buffers each of which uses 2048 bytes of memory
will be allocated.
For example, to install MSCDEX with an internal name of PCMCIACD, use expanded
memory, and configure the CD-ROM drive as drive H, enter:
MSCDEX /E /D:PCMCIACD /L:H

SCSI ID Number and Terminator
■ SCSf ID number:
Each SCSI device connected to your computer system has an individual ID number (refer
to the respective manuals). Be sure that the CD-ROM SCSI ID number does not conflict
with another SCSI device connected to the computer system. Normally personal
computer’s SCSI ID number Is set to 7.
The factory setting of the player’s SCSI ID number is set to 5.
■ Terminator:
Set the Terminator switch ON or OFF according to the player’s condition.
ON: when the player is connected to the computer system.
OFF: when using independently as an audio player (power consumption can be
saved) ( dS" P. 25).
The factory setting is ON.
Setting
Set the ID number switch (1 ~3) or Terminator switch (4) ON/OFF by using a pointed object
like a pen, and referring to the table below (for ID number).
