INTRODUCTION

Congratulations, you have purchased the most advanced CD-ROM drive in the world.
This is a CD-ROM drive with built-in SCSI-2 specifications, and it must be used with a SCSI host adapter.
This Manual was written to guide you through a simple and straight forward installation and operation of

the product. For best results, we recommend that you review this manual before installing your CD-ROM
Drive. In addition to installation instructions, this manual provides specifications, instructions for the care
of the unit, and other pertinent information.

So...buckle up for a trip around the world, or universe if you like, the Pioneer Drive will open up vast
amounts of information to you through advanced CD-ROM technology.

FEATURES

The Pioneer Internal CD-ROM Drive has many distinguishing features including:

STANDARD DISC FORMATS

♦ Conforms to the following CD-ROM standards:

Red Book Yellow Book Orange Book
CD Audio ISO 9660 CD-Recordable

♦ Correspondence to Kodak Photo CD (single and multisession)
♦ CD-RW disc reading

NOTES:

This product can read out CD-RW disc data. Note the following:
(1) A little longer time is needed to sense a CD-RW disc when the operation starts, compared

with normal CD-ROM discs.

(2) The read-out speed of CD-RW discs is usually 4 times higher than that of normal discs.

However, according to the quality of the disc or under extremely hot or cold conditions, the
player may reduce the speed of rotation of the disc during read-out. (Because the reproduced
signal level from CD-RW discs is lower than that of normal discs.)

(3) Blank discs, discs where you failed to write data or discs where session close processing

has not been made - these discs cannot be used.

(4) The operations may not start or the data may not be read out under the following conditions:

The quality of the recorded signal has deteriorated due to the dirt or scratches on the disc,
or frequently rewrote discs.
If you fail to start the operation, take out the disc and reinsert it to try again to start.

HIGH-SPEED DATA TRANSFER RATE

♦ High-speed reading

Transfer rate (sustained):

♦ Low vibration mechanism

SCSI 2 SUPPORT

♦ Supports SCSI 2 command set for CD-ROM devices.
♦ Switchable SCSI termination.

AUDIO FUNCTIONS

♦ Quality audio output playing standard audio compact discs.
♦ Front panel volume control knob
♦ Audio output to headphones or stereo connectors.
♦ Direct audio playing is possible with the play button on the front panel.

PRECAUTIONS ON PLAYING CD SINGLES (8 cm Discs):

¶

When playing CD singles (8 cm discs), always use the adapter for 8 cm discs. Before loading
the disc into the CD-ROM drive unit, be sure to check that it is secured properly by the catches
of the adapter. If discs have been inserted without the adapter by mistake, remove the disc
immediately by pressing the eject button. If the disc does not come out with one press, press
another time.

¶

Use 8 cm disc adapters labeled with the ' mark (recommended standard product). Do not
use adapters which cause the disc to idle, nor adapters which are bent or curved.

2 Stop (7)/Eject (0) button

This button is used to eject the disc. When this button is pressed once during playback of an audio

disc, the playback will be stopped, and when it is pressed in stopped condition, the disc will be

ejected.

3 Play (3)/Skip (¢) button

This is used for direct playback of audio discs. When an audio disc is inserted and this button is

pressed, play status will be reached, and when this button is pressed in play status, the playback

will skip to the next track. Data discs will not be played back.

INSTALLATION

HARDWARE SETUP OVERVIEW

This chapter describes the steps required to connect your Pioneer Drive to your PC. Prior to installation,
there are a few things you should know about this product.

♦

First,

the Drive is a SCSI device. What is a SCSI device? SCSI is an acronym for
Small Computer System Interface. A SCSI system allows up to seven SCSI devices
(including CD-ROM drives, hard disks, scanners, and tape drives) to be connected
to each other in a series called a "daisy chain" A SCSI interface is the physical
connection between a SCSI device and a computer serving as a pipeline to transfer
data between the two.

♦ SCSI devices can be installed as an internal (inside your computer) device, as an

external (outside your computer) device, or both. This unit is an internal drive. Once

connected, signals are passed through the chain from one device to the next and

the cable.

After installing a SCSI interface card or identifying the existing SCSI interface, it

device

.

If your interface card is not listed in the software installation menu, the card may still operate with your
Drive. An ASPI* device driver is included with the Pioneer software which provides an interface between
the Drive and a SCSI interface card. The ASPI driver translates the peculiarities of the interface card into
a standard interface protocol thus establishing compatibility with the Drive. There is one requirement, the
interface card must have a software device driver known as an ASPI Manager.

If you are uncertain whether your card came with an ASPI Manager, check the documentation for the
card. If you find that the card didn’t come with an ASPI Manager, contact the manufacturer or check with
an Authorized Pioneer Dealer to see if a driver is now available.

INTERFACE CARD RECOMMENDATIONS

Pioneer drivers have been written to work with built-in SCSI port, on PCs with Future Domain SCSI
Interface Cards, IBM SCSI Interface Cards, and ASPI compatible interface cards. Other SCSI interface
cards require drivers provided by the manufacturer of the card.

INSTALLING A SCSI INTERFACE CARD IN A PC

SCSI interface card installation instructions accompany the card. For best results, follow the instructions
that ship with the card.

Note: The SCSI interface card

must be properly installed before continuing with the Drive

INSTALLATION

SETTING THE SCSI ID

SCSI devices are identified by a SCSI ID number from 0 through 7 with ID number 7 typically reserved for
the SCSI interface card. The basic rule for assigning a SCSI ID number requires that:

have a unique ID number (address) on the SCSI bus. If two SCSI devices are assigned the same ID
number, your computer will not operate properly.

Assigning a SCSI ID to the Drive if you have a PC:

Each SCSI device

To avoid conflicts with an existing SCSI device and the interface card, choose an

unassigned number in

the range of 0-6.

Tip:

Make list of your SCSI devices and their assigned ID numbers to avoid a SCSI ID conflict.

Assigning a SCSI ID to the Drive:

¶ The three SCSI ID setting switches 0, 1, and 2 (#1, #2 and #3) compose a digital switch. Please

execute setting according to the following table.

The jumper is ON when a short-circuit socket is inserted to short-circuit the upper and lower pin, and it
is OFF in open condition.
*If the personal computer has no other built-in SCSI equipment except this unit, please use the unit
with the factory setting (ID No. 2).

INSTALLATION

SCSI TERMINATION

SCSI termination is a technique used to absorb line reflections at the beginning and end of a SCSI daisy
chain that would otherwise interfere with legitimate SCSI signals and cause errors. To minimize interference
with data transfer, SCSI termination is absolutely required for proper operation of your Drive.

WHEN TERMINATION IS REQUIRED

If you are installing the Drive as the

only

SCSI device or as the

last

SCSI device in the chain, termination

must be enabled.
A built-in terminator switch is located on the rear panel. Function Switch #5 is used to enable or disable

termination as described on page 14.

BUSY

Fig.3

÷ Switch off the power of the personal computer and remove the cover or the front panel.
÷ Remove the blank panel installed at the front of the 5.25 inch slot.

Installation is not possible when there is no empty slot.

÷ Install the fixation slide rails on the drive. (If slide rails are required, contact the shop where you bought

the computer or the computer manufacturer.)

÷ Insert the drive into the slot.
÷ If fixing is required, fix the drive according to the instruction manual for the computer.

Use mounting screws with a length of 5 mm or less.
Use of long screws may damage the drive.

Install the drive after the power supply of the personal computer has been switched
off.

When the mounting screws are loose etc., the vibrations from disc rotation can generate
a ripping noise, so that the screws should be tightened securely.

The drive installation method differs according to the computer type. For details, please
