NOTES:

This product can read out CD-RW/DVD-RW disc data. Note the following:
(1) 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.

(2) 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.

(3) Blank discs, discs that you failed to write data or discs that 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.

Do not insert 8 cm/3.15-inch disc without the CD adapter.

Use 8 cm/3.15-inch disc adapters labeled with the
(recommended standard product). Do not use adapters which cause the
disc to idle, nor adapters which are bent or curved.

When using a CD adapter, attach it properly to the disc, and check that it
does not come off to prevent damage to the disc and adapter.

' mark

DISC OPERATION

Do not attempt to insert more than two discs at one time, nor insert discs
during play.

Do not insert the disc with excessive force so that it bends nor attempt
to insert it by force. While the unit is pulling in or ejecting discs, do not
attempt to do the opposite using force as this may cause damage to the
disc or malfunction of the unit.

DISC REMOVAL METHOD

¶ Confirm that the BUSY indicator of the drive is not lit, and then press the Eject

button (0).

¶ Remove the disc after it has been ejected.

Do not place anything within 12 cm (4.72 in.) in front of the unit as this
may obstruct the disc ejection operation of the unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that
there is something wrong with this unit, check the points below according to the
symptom.

If your computer did not start up correctly because the initial diagnostics did
not recognize a SCSI device, check these items:

¶ Were all of your SCSI devices plugged in and turned on before you started your

computer ?
— The Drive and all of the SCSI devices in the daisy chain must be turned on
before you start your computer.

¶ Are your cables connected properly ?

— All cables must be attached to the correct ports.

¶ Are your SCSI IDs set properly ?

— Each device on a SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID.

¶ Have you set termination properly ?

— If the Drive is the only SCSI device, it must be terminated.

¶ Have you installed the software driver properly that came with your Drive ?

— If you have not installed the software device drivers yet, refer to the Installation
instructions.

If data cannot be read from the DVD/CD-ROM disc:

¶ Is the disc properly inserted in the slot with the label side facing ± UP ?
¶ Is the BUSY indicator light on ?
¶ Is the disc in proper operating condition ?
¶ Is the SCSI cable connected correctly to the interface card and/or other SCSI devices?
¶ Are you sure there is a disc in the slot (drive) which you are trying to access ?

If music cannot be played back:

¶ Are you sure an audio CD is being used ?
¶ Is the audio amplifier, powered speakers, or headphone set connected ?
¶ Are you using CD-DA Audio ?

— Some audio formats require an audio sound card in the computer to decode
digital Audio CD-DA.

¶ Are you operating the Drive that is not connected to a SCSI 2 interface card ?

— Bringing digital audio from the DVD/CD-ROM disc into the computer requires a
SCSI 2 interface card.

¶ Is the volume turned high enough ?

Disc cannot be ejected:

¶ Has the Function Switch for the eject switch been set to the ON disabled position

? Function Switch #7.
— If yes, set the switch to the OFF condition.

ABOUT REGION CODES

Region codes are part of the DVD standard. There is a Region number located within
one or all of the components required for DVD-VIDEO playback. The Region number
defines the region of the DVD-ROM drive and its playback hardware/software. DVD­VIDEO discs may also contain a Region number in the shape of a world globe. Unless
the Region number on both the DVD-VIDEO disc and DVD-ROM drive and its playback
components match, playback is not possible. When the word “ALL” is located in the
world globe on a DVD-VIDEO disc, that particular DVD-VIDEO disc can be played on
all DVD-ROM drives and its playback components, regardless of its region.

World Regions Numbers (1-6)

1. United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, the Virgin Islands, and some islands
in the Pacific.

2.Japan, Western Europe (including Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Balkans),
South Africa, Turkey, and the Middle East (including Iran and Egypt).

3. Southeast Asia (including Indonesia, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Macao).

4.Australia, New Zealand, South America, most of Central America, Papua New
Guinea, and most of the South Pacific.

5. Most of Africa, Russia (and former Russian states), Mongolia, Afghanistan, Pakistan,
India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and North Korea.

6. China and Tibet.

The region code on the DVD-U04S can be changed ONLY 5 times, including the 1st
setting. Please be aware that the 5th change will be PERMANENT. Therefore please
use caution when changing the region code.

NOTE:

The method of changing the Region number will vary depending on the Decoder/Operating
System used.
