required to support CD-ROM XA and CD-I compatible audio
modes. In addition, the unit does not support the CD-I graphic
decoding function; it has to be provided by the system.
Page 7
Software Requirement
T o access data on CD-R OM discs, the appr opriate de vice driver and
MSCDEX (supplied with the host adapter) must be installed in your
computer when the OS is MS-DOS/Windo ws 3.1. See the man ual
that comes with the host adapter for details.
The application software you need for using the data on a CD-ROM
disc depends on the type and f ormat of the tar get data. See the
manual supplied with your CD-ROM disc for instructions.
Example of System Setup
To use the CD-R OM drive unit, the f ollo wing components are
required:
• Computer (IBM PC, PC/XT, PC/AT, HP Vectra, or equivalent)
• IDE host adapter (ATA compliant)
• Floppy disk drive
• IDE interface cable (40 ≤ 40 pin flat cable)
• Software (Device driver, Utilities)

Precautions
■ Installation
• Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:
– high humidity
– high temperature
– excessive dust
– mechanical vibration
– direct sunlight
• Do not force the power cable. It is keyed to protect the drive.
■ Operation
• Do not move the drive when it is in use. Doing so may cause data
error and damage the optical pick-up.
• Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature as
condensation may form on the lens inside the drive. Should the
surrounding temperature suddenly rise while the drive is turned
on, stop using the drive and leave the power on at least one hour
before operating it or turning it off. Operating the drive
immediately after a sudden increase in temperature may result in a
malfunction.
■ Transportation
• Close the disc drawer before moving the drive.
• Keep the original packing materials. When you need to ship the
drive to another location, repacking it in its original container will
help you transport it safely.

Installing the Drive in Your Computer
This section provides an example of instruction for installing the
CD-ROM drive unit into your personal computer using the IDE
Host Adaptor (A T A-Compliant).
To connect the CDU711 directl y to the PC’ s IDE por t, consult y our
PC manufacturer for instruction.
Preparation
Y ou need the f ollowing par ts and tools (these are not supplied with
the drive):
• A flat-blade screwdriver
• Four screws 3 mm in diameter and 6 mm in length.
• Two mounting rails if your computer has mounting tracks.
Unplug the computer and disconnect the cables attached to the back
to give yourself more room to work. Do not turn on the power of the
computer before completing the entire installation process.
11Installing the Drive in Your Computer
Page 12
Setting the Jumpers
Set the jumper s on the rear of the drive in accor dance with the
configuration of your computer system.
The jumpers are preset at the “MASTER” position as illustrated at
the factor y.
Notes for configuration jumpers:
• Designation of the Drive Number is generally set by inserting a
jumper pin on either the MASTER or the SLAVE pin.
• When the CDU711 is daisy-chained with a Hard Disk Drive on an
IDE Card, set the Hard Disk Drive as MASTER and the CDU711
as SLAVE.
• If the CDU711 is the only device connected to the IDE Card, set
the CDU711 as MASTER.
CSEL
SLAVE
MASTER
However , it should be noted that some per sonal computer s ma y use
CSEL in lieu of the f oresaid MASTER/SLA VE selection. In this
case , remo ve the e xisting jumper s fr om MASTER and SLA VE, and
set a jumper on CSEL. When the CSEL signal of the interface
connector is set lo w, the drive is designated as Drive 0. When the
CSEL is set high, the drive is designated as Drive 1.
Consult y our PC man ufacturer , IDE Car d man ufacturer or dealer f or
further details.

Installing the Software Driver
The installation diskette enc losed in the pac kage contains tw o
software items:
• Installer
• Device driver for MS-DOS/Windows 3.1
Note:
Both Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (MSCDEX) or equivalent and
Son y’s De vice Driver are required to run the CDU711 under the
MS-DOS and Windo ws 3.1 en vironment.
Therefore, prior to loading the installation diskette, make sure that
the MSCDEX is in the DOS directory of your hard disk drive
(C:\DOS). Although MSCDEX is inc luded in the most up-to-date
MS-DOS (ver . 6.2), you ma y need to obtain the software fr om y our
PC dealer if you do not have it.
The installer will automatically load MSCDEX via the
AUT OEXEC.B A T file and installs the De vice Driver via the
CONFIG.SYS file, if MSCDEX is already in Drive C:\DOS.
