This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device , pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates , uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and , if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions , may cause harmful interference to radio
communication.
However , there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception , which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on , the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures :
---Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
---Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
---Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
---Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
FCC WARNING
Changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
a) Pay careful attention not to let the invisible laser beam emitted from the optical pickup
enter into your eyes.
b) When you find a troubled state of the component in the optical pickup containing the
laser diode , change to the specified new optical pickup. Do not open the optical pickup
housings.

I. OUTLINE
1. Overview
The Compact Disc Recordable/ReWritable Auto Changer drive MC104S can do much
more than read and write the usual CD-R discs. When you load it with a rewritable
CD-RW disc, you can record, read, and edit any kind of data, because these discs
allow you to rewrite information that has already been recorded.
2. Features
MC104S SPECIFICATIONS
1) Running OPC*1 gives a flatter writing signal that improves reliability.
2) An improved anti-heat design means that no cooling fan is needed.
3) Uses the world standard SCSI interface.
4) Can read not only CD-R and CD-RW discs, but also video CDs, music CDs,
and photo CDs.
5) Half-height space but a great capacity.
6) Conforms to the world standard Orange Book Part II (CD-R) and Part III (CDRW). Can use “TRACK AT ONCE”, “DISC AT ONCE”, “MULTISESSION”,
“PACKET WRITE” and “SESSION AT ONCE”.
7) Supports packet write for easy writing to CD-R and CD-RW discs.
*1 Continuously monitors the signal level during recording and adjusts the laser
power to compensate when the disc is dirty, insuring a flat signal.

MC104S SPECIFICATIONS
2.1. Door
This is the door to insert the magazine. Place discs on disc trays of the magazine,
then insert the magazine and the CDs will be loaded. The system need to be
installed the driver to load discs on disc trays of the magazine. The only lowest
disc in the magazine is loaded if the driver would not be installed.
! - Don’t use force to pull out or push in the magazine. This might cause
damage to the loading section of the drive.
2.2. Eject Button
This is the button used to eject or bring in the disc tray.
2.3. Busy indicator
This indicator light shines green when power is on. When the disc tray or disc is
being accessed, the light shines or flashes orange. Even when a disc is loaded
or a disc is not being accessed, the light shines green. When a illegal disc is
loaded or some hardware trouble occurs, the indicator blinks.
2.4. Headphone Jack
This jack is for connecting headphones or mini-speakers.
2.5. Volume control
This is used to adjust the output volume of the headphone jack. It can’t be used
to adjust the output volume for the audio output connectors on the rear panel.
2.6. Power Connector
Used to connect to the host computer’s power supply (DC 5V / 12V)
! - Be careful not to reverse the poser connector when attaching it. A reversed
connection may cause damage to the equipment (not covered by the
warranty).
2.7. SCSI Connector
Use a 50 pin double-end flat SCSI cable to connect to the SCSI interface.
! - Connecting or disconnecting connectors while power is on may result in a
short circuit, causing damage to the equipment. When connecting or
disconnecting connectors, make sure to turn off the power beforehand.
2.8. Analog Audio Output Connector
Used to connect to the sound card.
2.9. Jumper Connector
Used when selecting the SCSI ID number and terminator. SCSI ID and terminator
changes become valid after power is turned off, then on again.
! - If two peripheral devices use the same SCSI ID number, it will cause the
host computer to operate abnormally or fail to start up.

No. 7 - 8 : Terminator
When no other SCSI peripheral devices besides the CD-R/RW drive are
connected to the host computer, a terminator must be attached to the drive. Also,
when multiple peripheral devices are connected, this drive needs a terminator if it
is the last in the line.
The terminator of this product can be set by installing (terminator: ON) or removing
(terminator: OFF) the jumper pin from the jumper connector.

1. Functionality
1.1. Recording
Data should be recorded on the optical disc in response to host computer
command.
1) Drive receives necessary information such as logical block address, number of
block and data to be recorded from the host computer.
2) Recording to pre-recorded area can not be executed. (CD-R disc)
3) Overwriting to pre-recorded area can be executed. (CD-RW disc)
1.2. Reading
Data on optical disc should be read in response to the host computer command.
Audio playing (CD-DA) can be executed when receiving the Audio playing
command from the host computer.
MC104S SPECIFICATIONS
1.3. Load / Eject of Disc
1) Load
Place discs on disc trays of the magazine, then insert the magazine and the CDs
will be loaded. The system need to be installed the driver to load discs on disc
trays of the magazine. The only lowest disc in the magazine is loaded if the
driver would not be installed.
2) Eject
Operator can eject the magazine (discs) by pushing this button.
1.4. Spindle Motor Start / Stop
The controller of the drive senses the disc to be set on the turn-table connected
with the spindle motor and then starts to rotate the spindle motor, in response to
the host computer command
1.5. Seek Motor
The controller of the drive starts to move the optical pick up carriage, in response
to the host computer command.
1.7. Eject Button
Operator can eject the magazine (discs) by pushing this button.
1.8. Busy indicator
This indicator light shines green when power is on. When the disc tray or disc is
being accessed, the light shines or flashes orange. Even when a disc is loaded
or a disc is not being accessed, the light shines green. When a illegal disc is
loaded or some hardware trouble occurs, the indicator blinks.
