with FCC rules, the cable that connects the unit to the computer must be a shielded interface
cable.
Note: Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with Class B
requirements or using an unshielded peripheral cable could result in interference to radio
or television reception. To ensure that the use of this product does not contribute to
interference, use a shielded interface cable.
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 may try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Move the device and the receiver further apart.
• Connect the equipment to an electrical outlet on a different circuit than the receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced audio television technician.

storage. They cannot be overwritten. You can overwrite CD-Rewritable (CD-RW)
discs, typically up to 1,000 times.
The TEAC FireWire CD-RW Drive is an external peripheral device designed for use
with IBM PC compatible or Apple Macintosh computers that feature a FireWire (IEEE
1394) port. It features a hot-swappable FireWire interface and a powered tray for
convenient disc loading. (Please refer to “Appendix B. Specifications” on page 41 for
detailed information.)
About FireWire
IEEE 1394 is an industry standard serial communications interface protocol
published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. It is commonly
referred to as “FireWire.”
FireWire allows for extremely high-speed connections between personal
computers and peripherals or electronic devices (such as digital video cameras,
etc.). Currently, FireWire can attain data transfer rates of up to 400 Mbits per
second.
FireWire connections do not require bus termination. You can connect up to 17
FireWire devices in a serial daisy chain, or up to 63 devices using a branching
configuration.

headphone jack:
When listening to an audio CD, you can connect
headphones or external speakers to this jack. Use a 3.5 mm stereo mini-plug.
For external speakers, connect a stereo adapter to split the output into separate
cables for the left and right channels. Such adapters convert a male stereo
mini-jack to two female phono jacks.
volume control:
The volume control adjusts the volume. Turn the control to
the right to increase the volume, left to decrease. (Lower the volume before
you start a CD-ROM audio program to protect your hearing and the audio
speakers.)

Chapter 2. Connecting the FireWire CD-RW Drive
This chapter explains how to connect the TEAC FireWire CD-RW drive to an
IBM PC compatible or Apple Macintosh computer. It also explains how to install
the appropriate software driver.
Drive Orientation
Locate the FireWire CD-RW drive on a stable, flat surface. You can use the drive
in a horizontal or vertical orientation. In a horizontal orientation, the eject button
should be located on the right side of the unit.
To position the drive in a vertical orientation, set the drive on the side that features
four small rubber pads (the right side of the unit as you look at the front panel).
The eject button should be located near the bottom of the unit.
Connecting the CD-RW Drive to the Computer System
This section explains how to connect the TEAC FireWire CD-RW drive to an
IBM PC compatible or Apple Macintosh computer that features a FireWire port.
Follow the steps below and refer to your computer's documentation for
information specific to your system.
1.For the initial installation, turn off your computer and all connected
peripheral devices.
2.Depending on your operating system:
