Introduction

The TEAC CD-RW drive can write to CD-R discs at a maximum of 12X speed, re­write to CD-RW discs at 10X speed, and read CD-ROM discs at 32X speed. (It is also
capable of operating at slower speeds, if preferred.) CD-R discs enable you to create
audio or data discs for permanent archival storage. They cannot be overwritten. You
can overwrite CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) discs, typically up to 1,000 times.

The TEAC CD-RW drive is a SCSI device designed for use in IBM PC or compatible
computers that feature a SCSI adapter card. The drive features a 5.25-inch standard
chassis and a powered tray for convenient disc loading.

Recommended System Requirements

disc tray:

Use the disc tray to load CDs into the drive. You can open the tray by
pressing the eject button or by using the emergency eject mechanism. You can
close the tray by pressing the eject button.

Note: Press the eject button to eject or retract the tray. Please do not push the
tray in to close it.

headphone jack:

You can connect headphones or external speakers to this jack
to listen to an audio CD being played on your TEAC drive. 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:

Use the volume control to adjust the volume. Turning the
control to the right increases the volume. (Lower the volume before you start a
CD-ROM audio program to protect your hearing and the audio speakers.)

LED indicators:

The drive features two LED indicator lights on the front panel.

Various operations are indicated as per the following table:

Operation

At tray loading off green LED flashes
At tray eject off green LED flashes
During write/erase green LED flashes off
During audio play off green LED flashes
During seek/data transfer off green LED lights

emergency eject mechanism:

power to the CD-RW drive

Left LED Right LED

If the eject button fails, you can

turn off the

and insert a small, thin rod (such as a straightened
paper clip) into the emergency eject mechanism opening and press firmly to
eject the disc.

Caution: Do not attempt to use the emergency eject mechanism when either

the Power or Busy indicator is lit or you may seriously damage the disc or
the CD-RW Drive.

eject button:

Press this button to open or close the disc tray. (Some CD-ROM
titles disable the manual eject button and rely on software commands to eject the
disc. Refer to the documentation for these titles for more information.)
